Advice on new scales

3 Replies

Can anyone recommend the best scales to buy? I think mine have given up the ghost (they're over 15 years old and the plastic feet keep falling off when they're moved - so suspect they're no longer accurate!)

Hi Jane_ski, My scales were knackered when I first started so bought a new pair.. Try Argos they have a good range and very reasonable priced . I bought the W.W. ones which check your B.M.I. bone etc. they are very accurate to the ounce. Happy shopping !1

I got the digital Salter ones from Asda, I like them but "gained" about 6 lbs 😕 They are very accurate though, agree with my doctor's set too which is perhaps more to the point. I like that the display stays on even when you step off so you can peer closer, good for us short sighted people!!! Lol 😊

I agree with Anna, go for the Salter ones, they seem very accurate. 

I find with scales the "what you pay is what you get" mantra doesn't apply. Find some in your price range. Maybe look at what kind of feet they have, if you're worried about having the same problem again. 😊
