Depending on how I shifted my weight--even just slightly--the scale read different amounts. This is normal when the difference is small. But the difference was up to 20 pounds! There was no way to know how much I really weighed! I called Amazon right away to send it back....

it weighs accurately and displays in pounds/kg at the same time...little heavy but ok...comes with easy to carry handle...

Not only is it a great price, but it works just as well as most scales. I find that it is very accurate, but occassionally the hand has to be reset at zero, but this only takes seconds. It isn'y fancy, but it has everything one needs.

i bought 4 of these scales to scale my race kart and they worked perfect for what i wanted . price was cheap they all were pretty close in checking readouts and the handles work great for hanging in my trailer . not a typical use for them i know but thats why i got them and would recommend them for regular uses too

It was a bargain item, but that means it was bargain quality. I got what I expected nothing more.

After reviewing the previous negative comments on this product, I was hesitated for a week before purchasing it. I bought it becasue it is cheap. It ships fairly soon and works perfectly. It is a pleasant surprise.

After the first day of use, I knew I could never trust this scale again. It shows huge swings on the weight, and it's really inaccurate. (I compared it to the electronic scale at the gym.) I was considering returning it, but the shipping cost, in comparison with the product cost, would have been ridiculous. It's certainly cheap, but I'd rather have bought something better instead of wasting money.

...but this thing really is not spectacular. Yes, it's less than ten bucks, but one expects it to work at least *mostly*. According to this thing, I've gained and lost 10 or so pounds every day, sometimes within a few minutes. I constantly have to reset the dial to zero because it offsets with every use. This thing is pretty horrible. I would only recommend this if you needed a scale for the short-term or for a *very* basic weight estimate. If you want a real scale, spend the extra ten or twenty bucks and get one that works.

I have to reset it to zero all the time and I actually not quite sure if the scale is still accurate, so it might be off by a few pounds. Pretty heavy scale.

This is pretty good and shows weight both in pounds and Kilograms. Don't place this weighing machine on carpets. It will be accurate only when you place it on a solid ground like tiles / concretes.

Overall it's good, no complaints.
