Best Bathroom Scales From Consumer Reports' Tests

How We Picked the Best Bathroom Scales
Here, we feature five scales that scored high in our rigorous lab tests, listed in alphabetical order. As you scroll through, consider each scale’s accuracy, measurement increments, capacity, and digital connectivity—you can find more criteria and how we rated each model across all of them in our bathroom scale ratings.

How Consumer Reports Tests Bathroom Scales
In our labs, we test bathroom scales for their accuracy, consistency, ease of use, and balance. For our accuracy tests, we use a calibrated lab scale that displays the correct weight to the hundredth of a pound as our reference to weigh stackable weights, which we then use to simulate individuals weighing 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, and 325 pounds. We compare the readings from each bathroom scale with those of the lab scale to determine the accuracy of each model. Each bathroom scale receives an Overall Score that reflects its performance in testing. For more details on how we test our bathroom scales, see our bathroom scale buying guide.
