Hanson Scales

Hi

I was just wondering if anybody has experienced any problems with Hanson electronic bathroom scales. I can not get a correct reading from them and have tried different rooms in my house incase its the floor.

I have emailed Hanson to query the problem but wanted to know if anybody else has had the same problem so I can look into buying different scales.

    in what way doesnt it give the right reading? does it say 9 stone when it should say 7? ;-)
  • Lol I know approx how much I weigh, but with these scales they can vary between 1 to 4 stone lighter depend where i put them. I would so love to be lighter but at same time I have just started my diet so need to know my correct weight

    Are you using them on carpet?

    My previous set of electronic bathroom scales wouldn't work properly on carpet. The landing carpet was worn out though and had very little pile on it, so I had to go and get weighed on the landing :D
    Here I go again on my own....
