Not really a DIY question (unless it turns out that there is in fact a
DIY fix), so apologies.
I have a bathroom scale with an LED display (branded Weight Watchers
but I don't know the actual maker) which is a good few years old now.
It's always been completely reliable but over the last couple of days
the display has refused to stabilise: it flicks up and down over a
range of about half a stone, never stopping on any one reading.
I'm assuming that it's an electronics problem rather than a mechanical
one, but am I correct?
Many thanks.
the only reliable scales are beam balance. ALL the standonm pressiure
ones are in the end utter ****.
While many of them are utter ****, not all of them are.
My Soehnle Spirito has been very reliable weight wise
for more than a decade now and I have only recently
stopped using it because its replacements load the
weight reading into my smartphone automatically so
I dont have to fart around manually entering the data.
I have just recently replaced it with a Renpho ES-CS20M
and it gives the same weight and is just a reproducible
and shows small changes in weight when I hold something
small when weighing myself.
Just after I got it I got a Easy Home Body Analysis Smart
Scale 63684, an Aldi special buy which also is just as
reliable weight wise and also gives the same weights.
I got it because I could try it and return it for a full
refund and just havent gotten around to returning it yet.
My new Salter Ultimate Accuracy Electronic Digital Bathroom Scales are
increditably accurate. They do have to be on a hard surface. I use them
on an piece of wood which itself justs rests on a carpet. When I weighed
my suitcases I got the same result as the Gatwick Easyjet self check in.
Good price too. Problem is that I find it much more convenient
to have the weight automatically loaded into the smartphone
than to have to do that manually every day.
