Bathroom scales - are there any which are consistently accurate?

My old analogue scales give a different reading every time I step on them despite always being in a specific position on a hard, level floor.

I'm not after anything flashy with all kinds of electronic features, accuracy is key.

Any suggestions please?

I have the same problem. Mine consistently show at least 20kg over my actual weight...

I'd just get cheap digital scales. DH bought a fancy set with body fat readings etc. but I only ever use them for the weight reading.

Salter's a decent brand and their basic scales are less than a tenner: Deal for Prime members: Salter 9208 BK3R Glass Bathroom Scale – Electronic Digital Bodyweight Scale, 180kg/28st 8lb, LCD Easy To Read Display, Step On Instant Reading, Compact Clear Design, Includes Carpet Feet & Battery amzn.eu/d/9aztYVu

The Salter scales I have just binned after less than 2 months were useless. Different readings every time, even after just stepping off and on again.
I've just bought the Elekcity ones from Amazon, currently just over £13 and they are really accurate. I tested them with hand weights the first time. Readings are consistent. I don’t like the number I see but at least I know it’s true!
