Durable bathroom scale?
Seeking recommendations for a durable and accurate bathroom scale. I’ve blown through two in the last nine years — a digital scale and a traditional scale. Both just suddenly stopped working one day. Grateful for any recommendations! Thanks in advance.

re: battery... ahem. ;)
mine did the exact same thing, just stopped one day for no reason. switched to a renpho and honestly its been fine but i dont trust any digital scale to last more than like 5-7 years at this point, theyre all cheap load cells inside no matter the brand. the analog dial ones from like 20 years ago outlasted everything ive bought since, no battery to die, nothing to glitch out
that's nice, I already have a scale so I'm not interested in purchasing another one. if I did, I would probably get the same one since I like the weight tracking and syncing with their iPhone app.
Thanks. I am not a fan of digital either
Thanks!
Okay. Thanks. Something to look for
Wow. That’s a pretty penny!!!!
Thanks. Kitchen scale is a good idea
Thank you!

The Conair Thinner Model MS-7M is the finest, most durable, most long lasting scale one could ever acquire. Simple, accurate enough, and the original battery has lasted me near 2 decades. You can't buy them. Hell, you can't find an image of them. But truly, if there's a buy it for life scale, this one is it. Go find one. /Previously, on BIFL...
The Seca 761 is the one I plan on getting, when u have saved up the pennies. https://uk.secashop.com/products/flat-scales/seca-761/7617019008
Escali for sure. Get a kitchen scale while you’re at it too.
Looking at the one in my bathroom that original was a scale at my old house, the. Used as a shop scale at old job, and has been my main scale at my current house for the last 5 years or so. Had the thing for almost 10 in total so far. Edit: Forgot to include the model. It’s an etekcity that doesn’t have an accurate 1:1 on amazon any more.
Salter have always been bifl, wouldn't know if they still are because obv I've never had to buy a second set
Love my RENPHO scale!
Any electronic is not really a buy it for life since the battery will eventually degrade. Anyways, my $20 renpho scale with Bluetooth app sync has been working fine for over 6 years now.
