Still using an old scale that hasn’t been accurate in over a decade? It’s time for an upgrade. And these days, a brand-new digital scale doesn’t have to cost a fortune. In fact, we found one for way under 20 bucks! The Etekcity Digital Body Weight Bathroom Scale is on sale for just $17, or $3 off at Amazon.

With a sleek profile — it’s almost as thin as a MacBook — the scale features a backlit screen for those late-night weigh-ins. No need to tap it with your foot and wait for it to calibrate: Simply step on it and get immediate results.

It has an auto-off feature to extend battery life and comes with two AAA batteries pre-installed. Made of tempered glass with a roomy 12-by-12-inch platform, it’s a chic addition to the bathroom. Most importantly, reviewers say the scale delivers accurate results.

“Lived up to the hype,” says a five-star reviewer. “I bought this scale after reading all the positive reviews. I was not disappointed. Right out of the box, I found it very accurate! I have always found scales unreliable at my size (240-ish). This scale I feel really closely correlated to my most recent physical. So far, so good, and my wife who is literally less than half my size found the scale accurate as well. So with two separate, very different bodies, my family found this scale to be very accurate...For this price, I don't think you could get a better scale!”
