MIne both work perfect...on level ground. The electronic one is VERY sensitive to any non level condition either side to side or front to back. The dipstick much less so. Dipstick rules, but gauge is a good check at gas stations or in your garage where level ground is more consistent.

+1 on perryvina's comments. When I change oil in my car I use the dipstick as the "gold standard" and the electrnic sensor registers 1 one bar lower than full when car has sat for a while and all oil has all drained to the sump.
