I bought this scale after returning a Homedics Lithium SC-403 scale that just wasn't accurate, and which indicated a different weight in successive weighings. Conversely, this Soehnle scale is superb. It looks great, and my best efforts to confirm the accuracy of the scale reveals that it weighs within 1/2 pound of the correct weight at my body weight (165 pounds). It may be closer, but I can't be sure. The scale indicates an accuracy to 1/10 of a pound over it full range. It also indicates precisely the same weight with any number of successive weighings (I tried it up to ten times in a row and got exactly the same weight each time), no matter how you shift your weight. It indicates a precisely consistent weight even standing on one foot on either side of the platform. In my experience, all other home scales show a different weight if the distribution of the weight is altered. A nice bonus is that this scale even weighs objects less than ten pounds with accuracy of 1/10 of a pound, so you can use it for the odd time when you want to weigh a box for shipping weight, or weigh any other light object. For example, this scale indicates the weight of a carefully measured gallon of water, in a plastic milk jug to be 8.4 pounds, which is precisely correct. In summary, this scale costs a little more, but if you want a accurate, repeatable scale that looks great, this is the one I recommend.
