So you ar looking for the best, most exact bathroom scale available. In other words you want a scale which is a) astatine most no more than a pound off, b) displays the same weight no matter how you stand on it, and c) displays the same weight no matter when you stand on it. While many scales will claim to meet these criteria, user experience doesn’t always match up with manufacturer claims.

As such, it is interesting to hear what real people say when asked to recommend a high-quality, accurate bathroom scale. I therefore searched online and came up with the following list of the best bathroom scales based on recommendations from real people on sites such as Google Groups, Yahoo Answers and Ask MetaFilter.

First I noted which brands and/or types of scales people thought were the best. Here is the list:

1) Tanita digital scale. Recommended by a number of people.

2) A physicians scale (you know, a scale with manually adjusted, sliding weights). They are big, but accurate. What’s more, you don’t need your glasses to actually see how much you weigh and you know that 30 years from now it will still be around.

3) A Taylor digital scale. However, don’t get the glass Taylor scales, they aren’t suppose to be very good.

4) Hammacher Schlemer Best Precision Measurement Digital Scale

5) HealthOMeter (with a 10 year lithium battery).

From these general recommendations, I proceeded to create a list of the eight best bathroom scales. To create this list I went to Amazon.com to see which particular models of bathroom scales were the most popular on these sites. I searched according to each type of scale mentioned in the section above (i.e., I searched for Tanita digital scale, physicians scale, etc.). I noted also the price and reviews of each scale. Here is the list that I came up with (note: all information is of Dec. 3, 2007):

1) Tanita UM080 Scale with Body Fat and Body Water Monito — Cost – $32.00. Rating – 4 1/2 stars (based on 19 client reviews).
