Bathroom scales

Apologies for the boring thread, but can anyone recommend a good set of bathroom scales that don't give a different reading every time you step on them? My current scales have started lying to me even when very carefully placed in the same spot each time, and I would like to weigh myself with a little more certainty of an accurate reading!

Beware Etekcity plain vanilla bathroom scales. They only work on hard surfaces, e.g. tiles or wood, because they're very low to the floor, so on vinyl the vinyl flexes enough to take half your weight and the scales measure the other half, giving a completely inaccurate reading. So I'm buying four rubber feet to raise the scales off the floor and will glue them on. Faff!

I have the WW ones and I’m quite happy with them.

I have the renpho bluetooth scales and they are really reliable.

So despite my best efforts to lose a pound or two by shifting the scale a square of lino to the left or right they always come back the same! Unlike my previous ones!
