I bought a scale yesterday. It shows 0 on the floor, but 71 when I step on it. An hour later, it's 54. My weight is fluctuating so much! Then my baby girl got on, and her weight is consistently between 10100-10400. Is the scale broken, or is it me?
Кто-нибудь подрабатывает в «Пятёрочке» или «Магните»? Выгодно ли это и стоит ли того?

Are the batteries fresh?

Maybe the surface isn't even, we need to see exactly where it's showing.

On a flat surface? Sometimes even a slight tilt can lead to an inaccurate result.

The scale is likely uneven. The baby's weight shouldn't cause it to dip like that. You might be stepping on it unevenly, or the scale itself is placed on a crooked spot. Try to find a place where it consistently shows the correct weight.

Place it on the tile. It only shows correctly in my bathroom. It shows the kids and a 5-liter canister correctly, but it's off by 10 kg with me.

Margarita So the baby's weight is shown correctly?

Margarita I can't know that. Maybe it's positioned very crookedly, and the baby has the wrong weight.
Do you have an approximate idea of the baby's weight? It's unlikely to be 10 kg at 2 years old, right?

I'd return these. No matter where I put the scale or who was standing, there were no drastic changes. You're having some kind of glitch.

So the scale isn't great, better to return it.
Mine shows well on any floor.

Margarita It makes sense to think that they are showing the baby correctly then
