Grossly inaccurate (over 15 pounds inaccurate)
I purchased this because I am BIG guy (over 350 lbs). I wanted a scale that I could trust to accurately measure my weight on a regular basis. I had a scale that went up to 370, but I wanted to ensure that my original scale worked. This one clocked in 16 pounds higher than the other scale. It scared me to death and prompted me to work even harder on my weight. However, my wife also stepped on the scale and was immediately upset. The number did not match our Weight Watcher's digital scale, nor did it match our Aria (FitBit) scale. Again, it is approximately 16 pounds over the actual weight.
I have double-checked the weight with my wife, my daughter, and the professional scale at the doctor's office. This thing is grossly inaccurate. I wanted to make sure that it simply wasn't me, but this scale does not register weight correctly. The only accurate thing is that it seems to reflect changes accurately, but what's the point if the starting number is wrong? I am greatly disappointed in the product and would strongly recommend against it.
