This scale has given me problems since day one. It was the second scale I bought after I returned a defective one before this purchase. I was so fed up I thought oh well, this will have to do. Basically, you have to get the best 2 out 3 results from the read out and average it out. It measures different numbers almost every time! I thought it was the battery and then I thought it was me having lost weight from a.m. to p.m. daily! But I've stepped on the scale repeatedly and tested it and the results are "right" 50/50....and... since I belong to Weight Watchers, I've noticed that this scale is 5 pounds off. So I always weigh 5 pounds more at Weight Watchers and 7 pounds more at the doctors office. Too much math!!! Body Fat analyzer not that predicatable either. It gives wacky read outs too... I call this product my Scale Suggestion not my Scale.

I bought the SC510, wich is similar to this product, and it sucks. I didnt get a manual... They scale tips over or below your real weight if you shake/move slightly while standing on it... SERIOUSLY. I set some 20 pound weights on it and they read 17.2 lbs.... SERIOUSLY.... DO NOT BUY HOMEDICS PRODUCTS. ITS NOT WORTH IT , FOR THE MONEY..... WANT SOMETHING BETTER? BUY A DOCTORS SCALE.... THAT'LL WORK JUST FINE.
