7.26kg huh? I am sceptical. Kitchen scales tend to offer gram precision (a bit less on older ones) and be fairly accurate, but limited to 5kg or so which rules out this enormous vegetable.
Bathroom scales on the other hand, even when they display 0.1kg increments, seem to be fairly poor on accuracy (and reproducibility / consistency), possibly because the strain gauges used must tolerate 140kg Slimming World members flattening them. I wouldn't trust the first decimal place of your result, let alone the second.
Yes, I am the kind of person who methodically loaded different test objects onto his kitchen and bathroom scales after buying them, recorded the results and then re-tested at intervals afterwards, why do you ask?
