If you use it properly, this scale is 100% accurate.
I've been reading some of these other reviews and I suspect the users are not using the scale properly. If you just stand on it and read the numbers, and then step off and zero it and step back on, it's quite likely you'll get slightly different weights. The same thing happens with the 550 lb. medical quality digital scale in the office where I work. On the other hand, if you stand on it and stay motionless for a few seconds until it stabilizes and the display begins to blink, you can step off and it retains the weight on the display, THAT is the correct, accurate weight. If you zero it and repeat the process, you'll get exactly the same weight, time after time. After reading some of these reviews I just did that, 5 times in a row, and got the same weight 5 times in a row, right down to the decimal place. The scale looks modern and the lighted blue display is easy to read. The price is right, what more could you want? If you use it the way it was designed, on a hard surface like a tile bathroom floor, and if you give it time to stabilize and lock in the reading, you'll see that it's perfectly accurate.
