Where do I get accurate $#@$ scales?

Every time I step on my Target ones I get a different weight. If I weigh my calibrated plates I get different readings to the marked values.

Has anyone cared enough to get some good ones and can tell me where to go?
 
We have electronic Big W ones and they work perfectly within .1 of a kilo, I can step off and on 5 times and it will give the exact same reading every time. They do not have a brand on them but are glass top.

Make sure you are on a level good floor when using your scales.
 
Yeah I have big w ones that do the job... Consistent in the weight they give me

I got some from Harris Scarf and they seem to be consist ant, not sure if they are 100% accurate but as long as they are consistent and you weigh yourself at the same time of day, they will give you and idea.
 
get a decent brand like Tanita or AnD...

or just buy a few cheapies until you find one that reads repeatably :)
 
I got a great set off eBay.
Never had an issue, even if it's .5 or even a kilo off the scales at the gym.
If I see it moving up each week I know I'm gaining weight.
