We gave it the old 5 gallons of water test (a gallon weighs about 8.35 lbs.), to see how well it did, and it measured 43.7, which leaves almost 2 pounds for the container. I took a gallon out and it measured 35.3, which is pretty much in line, considering the assumed 1/10th pound of accuracy. I also weighed myself 5 more times, putting my weight on different parts of the scale, and measured between 278.5 and 281.9. I'm still logging my original 281.5, just to be consistent.
Until we can find something to buy that we can trust, I'll be continuing to use our "Weight Watchers" branded scale.

That scale is crap, but at the very least, assuming one steps on it in the exact same spot consistently, it can at least help you know whether you've lost or gained, even if it doesn't give you your true weight. Stupid scale.
