I have this one. Cheap and very accurate so far(3 years). I never get a different reading as long as it is on a hard level surface.

I use a very similar looking Taylor with a BF analyzer. Got it on sale at the Walgreens down the street, so I could bring it back if it were unreliable. The scale part is very reliable and agrees with the counterbalance one at the gym, but I found the BF analyzer gimmicky and highly variable. I'm sticking to my accumeasure calipers for BF.
