Can we have an updated what are the best scales thread?

[Livinthedream84]

So I’ve got 6 stone to lose. I need some scales that are accurate. I’d love some that read body fat too but not essential.

Must read in stones and lbs and not break within 6 months. Budget not really an issue if they are right

Any recommendations?

I am bumping this as also interested , especially looking for scales that i can synchronise with fit bit inspire and measure body fat too

I'd like to know if there are any scales that will still work on floors that aren't exactly flat. My whole house doesn't seem to have a single one meaning that every single set of scales I have had gives widely varying weights every day. I know these don't exist. I just wish there were some invented.

Haha @ufucoffee I’d like to find these too. Some have ‘carpet feet’ and I’m wondering if these make a difference??

I got renpho scales and never looked back. They're so accurate and never change no matter how many times you keep standing on them Unlike my old salter ones

I got the weight watchers scales from Argos think around 30 pound when we bought them two months ago now are 24. Have BMI , Body fat, body fluid, etc etc have recommended to four friends who have also bought them, both my husband and I weigh once a week on them,

Thanks for the suggestions! The renpho ones looked great but the lack of reading in stones and pounds on the actual scale put me off a bit. I know I could convert in the app but I like to see it in big on the scale

So I went with the weight watchers ones. They are coming Thursday. Hopefully they won’t lie like the last ones

Will you update on this thread to let us know OP?

Good choice

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can scales tell how much body fat you have?

I was so sick of buying scales that were always wrong. I'd get on them, get off, get back on and I could have gained or lost half a stone. In the end I bought me mechanical scales. No body fat etc, but I absolutely love them and they weigh accurately every time. And they'll last a lifetime.

I have the fitindex ones from amazon (think they were about £40 but had them for a while). They have an app and it syncs with Apple health and myfitnesspal. I think it’s been quite accurate and it’s survived a few battery changes and a house move.

So far so good with the weight watchers. It got my bone density bang on (I’ve had it professionally measured before) and my weight was more or less where I thought it was :(.

Body fat is measured by sending a small electrical charge round your body. It’s only an estimate so you know what to aim for but a lot of scales have been tested as pretty accurate these days x

Is it giving you the same weight every time?
