Could not register a 5 lb weight change - sent it back
Just bought this scale & am already packing it back up to return to Amazon for a refund.
I unpacked it, removed the battery strip, set it to pounds & tried it out as soon as UPS delivered it.
The first number showed a 5lb difference from my old scale, but since I could get three different numbers when weighing three times in succession on that scale I assumed it was just that the My Weigh was accurate.
Not so much.
The next time I got on I was holding a 5lb bag of flour...and it gave me the exact same number as before.
I tried this same process using my hand weights, but the My Weigh scale could not read the weight difference accurately.
When I added a 3lb weight it showed a difference of 1lb.
When I added 6lbs the My Weigh showed a number 4lbs less than the original number.
Yes, I had this scale on an even, hard surface.
If a scale cannot accurately gauge the difference of adding or removing small amounts of weight...then it is nothing but a dust collector.
Back to Amazon it goes & the search for a new, accurate scale continues.
