I bought this scale to weigh my goats when I needed to figure out how much of a certain medication to give them. The dosage was based on weight. It worked very well for that. But don't weigh yourself! For some reason, every time I stepped on it, I seemed to weigh about 15 pounds more than I thought I did. Now, I didn't say there was an accuracy problem.I wish there was a way to secure the display to the scale. The whole thing is light enough to carry, by the handle, with one hand, but then your free hand is required to hold the display.
