Last month's Prevention magazine had ratings for scales.
Prevention Scale Ratings Within the brief article, there's a link (.pdf) to the actual page from the magazine. They rated accuracy compared to, among other things, hydrostatic weighing. I ordered a Homedics one based on this. Mimi |

How about hand held...
I have a Omron Body Fat Analyzer HBF-306. It is very accurate and has a lot of options. I bought mine off eBay cheap! I believe Amazon carries them (not sure about this particular model).
I never liked the calipers.

I have a Tanita scale. I just bought it several weeks ago and I think it is a little off too. It has water % and body fat. It was funny because I went to doctor last week and was sick and I weighed 3 pounds more at doctor's office than at home. I know one day I hardly ate any fat at all and the scale said otherwise. So I don't think it is all that accurate. If I had a choice to buy another scale I would still probably buy Tanita brand (heard it was good) but not with extra stuff on it.
