Accuracy of BF Scales?

[ddawg]

I went to the store to pick up a scale and a saw a body fat scale for only a little bit more so I decided to get it. It cost me 50 bucks and it a Tanita. input my age, sex, and height and I was wondering +- how accurate it is? It says I'm 10% so what can I expect my actual bf to be

Also, if this reading is even close to being accurate, should I start a bulk diet. I had been eating just above maintenance and doing weights 3x a week and cardio 5x a week in order to try and lose fat and gain muscle. I was doing this b/c I thought I was proly 15-18%bf. So if this is close to accurate should I up my calories more. I've been eating aroud 2800 and I'm 6'1 164 pounds, male, 19. And should I cut back cardio
