Hi Sue,

Ok...there was often a .2LB difference, depending on where I placed the scale, so I called them...here is what I found out and posted.
Well I talked to a nice guy at the company, and he explained that different surfaces can make it weigh just a tad differently, like if the floor was not as even in one place as in another, or even it there was some dirt onder one foot of it. He said it is just best to put it in a place where it doesn't need to be moved. I also understood him to say that things under the surfaces of the floor, like nails, 'could' cause it to differ a bit. I'll still be moving mine, since it will be parked next to the wall, but I'll just take care to always place it on the same tile each time before calibrating.

Anyway, I kept them and am pleased with them and now have them located where I don't have to move them in order to use them.

I did a bit of searching on Lifelabs, and yes, it appears they are no longer being manufactured, or available here in the US. I did find some info though on talking Lifelab scales. Do yours talk?

Yep...Sounds like you got a good bargain.

Here is a link that might be useful: Talking scales...not available-in stock link is dead

So now we both have scales and can start a search for the next "must have."

No, mine doesn't talk, but it has nice big numbers. I did see that same site you found, when I was first looking. That is the same box mine came in, but the scale is different.

Love that $General!
