Scales - advice please

It looks as if our current scales have come to the end of their life after 15 years. It's impossible to get a consistent reading now, which is frustrating DH who is a daily weigher.

I'm looking for recommendations for new scales. What do you have? Are you happy with them?

Thanks

I have salter scales from Argos that claim to have ultimate accuracy. No problems with them and not too expensive either

I have Renpho and know loads of people with these. They are very consistent in their readings.
Also they immediately Bluetooth 15 different ways in which I am a fat bastard directly to my phone. They insult me in ways I was previously unaware of. I'd never heard of metabolic age but now I know mine is too high. One year I didn't weigh for about a month over Christmas and when I got on they said 'Your weight has changed a lot since last time, is this you?' Alright, fucksake.

Laughing out loud at that @AhBiscuits 😂
I too have Salter from Argos and they seem accurate.
They do fat % which I know gets a bad press outside of professional equipment but it seems consistent enough (up as well as down!) for it to look right.

I came on to ask this as ours are giving up too! But love love @AhBiscuits post!
