Default Can someone suggest a good quality scale?

My main concern is that it be accurate. I don't necessarily need fancy features, but if you know of a good one that calculates body fat as well, let me know.

Price is a concern as well (I'm cheap, what can I say?)

Our current scale seems to be very inaccurate, or at least inconsistent. You'll step on it and get a reading, and then a few seconds later try again and get a different reading.

I prefer analog scales cause in my experience the inconsistencies aren't as great as digital.

You get what you pay for.

I agree with Josh. Every Doc I have been to has either the floor dial type or the old stand up counter balance. I have a digital with the body fat thingy. Not very consistant. We have counter balances at work, and they Jive much more with my Doc's scales!
