I like the electronic ones from Tanita. My model 551 includes a percentage body fat feature (via
bio-impedance), and shows weight with 0.2lb resolution.

I have a Healthometer Ever Weigh that relies on strain gage(s), not springs. Placed on a firm,
flat surface, it gives 100% consistent results, albeit to only the nearest 0.5 lbs. It also is
pretty compact - small/average "footprint", but slim/low to the floor. I think I paid $34 for it
at Sam's Club.

I heard that the body fat isn't accurate b/c the signal goes from one leg to another or something
like that and so your legs inordinantly impact the outcome. True?

It's my understanding that the patented algorithms they've programmed into the scale take this into
account. I have not compared the scale's calculations to a "true" measurement (i.e., water tank),
but I think it's reasonably accurate.

The scale numbers will vary by time of day and body hydration levels. But, I've found that if I
weigh myself around the same time each day (and not right after a ride when I'm dehydrated), they're
pretty consistent.
