Hello,

The differences in weighing machines are completely normal. You have to use a single machine to monitor your weight.

These differences between machines is due to manufacture errors. It doesn't mean something is wrong with the machine.

Every machine has some correction. It may be showing less weight or more weight.

You have to correct the reading by adding or subtracting the correction amount from the reading.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Yasam Lavanya, General & Family Physician
