How much weight can a bathroom scale take?


How much weight can a bathroom scale take? The best bathroom scales always provide a fresh weight each time you weigh yourself (some pull from past measurements). A quality scale doesn't wobble underfoot and can accommodate up to 400 pounds or more. Scales with a bright display are much easier to read.


Do scales lose accuracy over time?

Over time, springs in analog scales may develop gradual wear and tear, which can lower both their accuracy and reproducibility. You may also find it harder to read precise numbers, since these scales have a lower display granularity.


How much can clothes weigh on a scale?

Clothing. Wearing clothing while weighing yourself can add up to two pounds—more if you're wearing shoes. Again, this isn't a big deal if you consistently weigh yourself wearing the same thing, but since our clothes vary with our moods and seasons, it's best to go without when you step on the scale.
