I know this is an old thread, but I'm thinking about buying a new scale. What did you end up buying, 72butterfly? I have a Taylor Lithium one that I bought at Target a few years ago. It bugs me to no end that I get different readings over and over again within seconds. Only 1 pound or so, but you have to take the higher weight once you see it, kwim! (I wonder if it has to do with my huge feet not fitting on the sensors? My toes or heels hang off the edges.) This sounds fairly normal on digital scales??? Plus when I weigh at my Mom's I'm always 3 pounds less than on mine and when I weighed at the gym the other day it was 11 pounds lower than mine - obviously that one's broken!! I also had on my shoes!
It seems so many of the reviews I read for scales are just so-so to bad. For digital and mechanical alike. I've been looking at this Prevention test:
