Scale Recommendations?

[lirael]

I'm looking to replace my wildly innaccurate bathroom scale. I am not thrilled at the idea of spending 130 bucks on the FitBit scale, great as it may be. Does anyone have a recommendation for an accurate scale, preferably with body fat/BMI measures?

I'm looking to spend 100 dollars or less (but that can include a 20% off coupon at Bed, Bath, & Beyond).

Hi. I have and recommend the Omron Full Body Composition scale. I don't remember the model I have, but Amazon has several different models from Omron, a few for less than $100. When I bought it years ago, it was almost $200. It's awesome and I weight myself everyday in the morning; I like to have the "finger in the pulse". The cool thing is that it gives you a body fat percentage. And, although it may not be very accurate (on the fat %) in absolute terms, it works well when you compare against other measures of yourself, it seem pretty accurate. 

Check it out online, I like mine.

We bought the Weight Watchers WW52 made by Conair about two years ago and haven't had any complaints.  http://www.amazon.com/Conair-WW52-Weight-Watchers-Stainless/dp/B004CLBWG4/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&q... got ours at Target.

I notice lots of negative comments on Amazon, but ours works just great.  I'd keep the receipt just to be safe.  In fact, there seems to be lots of complaints on many different models of scales??  We really don't use the BMI and other calculations, just care about the weight.

I used a WW scale when I did WW a few years back. Darned thing broke after a couple of months. I'm glad you like yours though! I'll find the scale of my dreams, someday.

I would not recommend a BowFlex Body Fat Scale sticky tape that holds it together let go tearing all the wires.  This happened after 1 month.  Sticky tape and high humidity environments (shower/bathroom) don't work well together.  It was about $80 and I thought a great deal.  Don't make the same mistake.
