Default What type of scale?

What type of scale does everyone use (if you do at home)? My old digital one just died, and I am thinking of going back to a regular analog one. Here is an article about the differences. I researched it to try to make a decision

I've been using a cheaper Weight Watchers scale that I got at Kohl's last year. I paid 9.99, reg 39.99. I have a couple others that are fancier, that I haven't used. This simple is working fine. The one before it would weight me was crazy---weights varied up to 6lbs when done back to back .. I never knew what was accurate.


One thing for very heavy folks to think about is the maximum weight. One of the happiest days for me was last year when I'd lost enough weight that I registered on my scale again!!

I use a digital one mostly because every time I buy an analog one the magnetic thing always ends up getting screwed up... I bought a digital one from Target a few weeks back I think it was 14.99 and it's more accurate than the one my mom paid 50 for( swear to God it adds 5 pounds, I went to the doctor and her scale and theirs were 5 pounds different- I trusted the doctor's more)...
