Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used a simple model from Tanita for over 5 years and was as happy as a man with one clock -- I knew exactly what time it was. The added features of the BC554 were irresistable, but now I had 2 sources of data and they were not in agreement by a significant amount (e.g. 3% body fat difference on a base of 16%).
The weight measurement is as good as ever: precise, accurate and consistent. The best that can be said of the other functions is that they seem to be directionally correct and some are simply 'figures of merit', not measurements at all.
Customer support is surprising. When I asked the inevitable questions via their web site, I received a phone call from them. The answers made sense, but only reinforce my assessment.
It seems that the algorithms are based on a statistical sample using gender, age, height, and 'athleticism'. If your actual profile is close to the sample population, the accuracy is probably pretty good. But as you progress toward 'athletic' and away from the calibration population, accuracy declines.
It seems to me that anyone purchasing this model is serious enough about fitness to fall into this 'no man's land'. The other issue is that I would expect some continuity between the measures for 'standard adult' and 'athletic adult'. But there is a chasm! I measured 19% at 'standard' and 9% at 'athletic'. The first is clearly too high and the second is too low. Maybe a calculated average is closer to an accurate reading, but that is a serious shortcoming in a top-of-the-line product.
So, simpler & cheaper is my recommendation. Accept the idea that you are getting directionally correct numbers that are only accurate if you match the calibration population profile.

HoMedics SC-202 LED Digital Bathroom Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this scale because it was digital and thought the brand Homedics was reliable. When I rcvd it, I followed the instructions, installed the battery, got on scale to set it and then back on to get my weight. Later on that night I got on it again and was 2 lbs less than earlier, my diet was really working I thought. The next morning I weighed myself and was 3 lbs less than that, I know they always say you way less in the morning but that much? That night I weighed in again and was back to my original weight of the day before, I had gained it all back !! I knew the scale was wrong because I weighed my daughter who is 32 lbs and her weight was coming in at up to 37 lbs at times. I even moved the scale around to different areas of the floor to see if mabye it was due to the floor being uneven but it didn't change.
So... the scale is going back and I'm going to order a good old fashion scale with a dial.

HoMedics SC-550 Body Fat Analyzer & Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This scale has given me problems since day one. It was the second scale I bought after I returned a defective one before this purchase. I was so fed up I thought oh well, this will have to do. Basically, you have to get the best 2 out 3 results from the read out and average it out. It measures different numbers almost every time! I thought it was the battery and then I thought it was me having lost weight from a.m. to p.m. daily! But I've stepped on the scale repeatedly and tested it and the results are "right" 50/50....and... since I belong to Weight Watchers, I've noticed that this scale is 5 pounds off. So I always weigh 5 pounds more at Weight Watchers and 7 pounds more at the doctors office. Too much math!!! Body Fat analyzer not that predicatable either. It gives wacky read outs too... I call this product my Scale Suggestion not my Scale.

Tanita BC-1000 Ant+ Wireless Body Composition Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Was skeptical. But i want to be very concious of my health (currently overweight) and wanted data to help guide me as to my real fitness, and be able to track progress against goals. This scale seems to be very accurate compared against manual measurement methods. Except, I do not need to manually do anything, just step on the scale, and the data is sent to the software application (from compeitive edge with ANT). It does everything for you.
This isnt the lazy way, as doing body fat, BMI, bone density, hydration levels, etc would take a long time to do, and you would have to manually enter all of that data to track it. HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone serious about weight management and fitness levels.

Dualit 87004 Bathroom Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just fell in love with the look of this scale. It is really pretty. Plus, it has pound and kilogram, I'm a Japanese who's used to kilogram, so it's great. But it rusts so easily. I put this in our bathroom, after 2 weeks, it started to rust with the moisture. So the pretty look gets ruined. And the scale hand goes off very often, you have to adjust it with a rolling thing at the bottom. (What I mean is, the scale hand doesn't point zero always, you have to adjust it to make it point zero before weighing yourself.) So it's not one of those precise digital scale. If you love retro look and don't mind retro function, go for it. Otherwise, this is not for you. (And of course it's a bit pricey.) I still like this even though it's rusted a bit.

HoMedics SC-505 Body Fat Analyzer And Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this scale at a local store and brought it home. I stepped on it for the first time, and found I was 13 lbs heavier than I had been just that morning! On subsequent tries I could never get it to give me the same weight twice and the variations were not small (sometimes 2 lbs, sometimes 10 or more). My husband tried it an experienced the same problem. It was also hard to set it up and make it work, it wouldn't always weigh you when you stepped on it and would often give an "error" message. All in all, quite possibly the worst scale I have ever tried. I promptly returned it.

Taylor 5596G Body fat-Body Water Scale with Bone and Muscle Mass Features Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had tried several scales before I got my hands on the Taylor 5596G. This scale tells your weight, body fat, body water, bone mineral, muscle mass - and is less than half as much as a competitor! I am just SO impressed with this scale.
First, the basics. This scale is very simple to set up and use. For the first two memory spots, it's even one-touch operation - just hit the toggle up for person 1, down for person 2. Then you stand on the scale, it sends a mild electrical signal through your feet (you can't feel it) and voila! All your stats are shown.
If you haven't used a scale like this before, you really should give it a try. These types of electrical scales are very popular now and work very well. If you're not sure how they work, drop me a line and I can explain it in detail. Suffice it to say in this review that yes they DO work, based on your body's conductiveness.
So OK, taking it as a given that the technology should work well, does it work well here? I am happy to answer that with a resounding YES. The reason I got this scale is that my previous purchase - a competitor's scale at a much higher price - did NOT work accurately. It gave fat percentage numbers which were wildly off. It made me worry that a scale didn't exist that provided fat numbers with water and muscle mass numbers. However my fears were assuaged with this purpose.
I compared the fat numbers of this machine with the five other fat testing devices we have here. This Taylor scale was right on. In test after test it came up with the exact same numbers as the other devices. I am very satisfied with it.
As far as weight goes, pretty much all scales are good at that at this point :) I can put my 3 scales side by side and they all come up with the same numbers within a pound. So that part is fine.
My tests with the other values - water, muscle mass etc - also show that this scale is accurate.
It really is so important to have a scale that shows you your fat and water percentages. Let's say you are 150 pounds and little of that is fat. You could be in super shape. Let's say you are 150 pounds and 99% of that is fat - you could be in awful shape! Your weight alone tells you very little. You need to know how much of that is excess fat, and how much is healthy muscle.
Water is critical because your body needs to be properly hydrated to work properly. Most people do not drink nearly enough water in a given day. If your body dries out, you get sick more frequently, it's harder to lose weight, and harder just to have energy to do things. You need to keep track of your body hydration levels.
I also am really happy that this scale has a muscle mass indicator. Whether you are walking steps, biking, hiking or anything else, building lean muscle is an important part of staying healthy. This isn't so you look like Conan!! It is so your body is limber enough to climb stairs safely, to maintain your balance without falling and breaking bones. Every human needs muscle to be healthy. This scale helps you keep track of yours.
Are there downsides to this scale? Well, the "indicators" of what you are being shown are rather small. It flashes the numbers one after another. So it's not that you look at the readout and see all at once the weight, water %, fat % etc. It cycles through them. But the indicator of what number means what is very tiny, so really you have to remember that fat comes first, water comes next and so on. Yes it's easy to learn after a few tries, but it's annoying that the indicators are so tiny.
Also, it cycles around three times and then vanishes. With most of my other scales you stand on it and the numbers show until you get off. That gives you time to write them down. here you have to write really quickly - because if you miss something after that third try, you're out of luck. That seems to be a bit frustrating and nonsensical to me.
But still, this is by far the best scale I've found - that gives me exactly what I want to know, with accurate numbers, and it's cheaper than others in the same category! What more could I want in life!

Health o Meter HDL820-18 Digital Scale with LCD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm more than satisfied with this scale. I was concerned that I would have to buy a more expensive scale to get good accuracy (see reviews of other digital scales in this price range,) but I've tested it several times over several days, and my weight varies by 2 pounds or less over the course of the day. My first weigh-in of the day is pretty much the same as previous mornings, sadly.
The neutral color (grey) and glass would blend in well with just about any decor, and the LCD screen is easy to read, with 1.5 inch high numbers.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it creaks quite a lot when I step on it, even though I'm nowhere near its 330 pound maximum load. That problem is in my head more than in the scale: I don't think it's going to break, but it sounds like I've got two people standing on it at once--I'm not THAT fat, am I?
An added feature is that when I'm craving, I go into the bathroom and look at it, and know that it isn't going to fall for any of my excuses tomorrow morning. So the last piece of cake still sits in the fridge. The scale has intimidated me into not eating it.
Accurate, easy to read, easy on the eyes, and intimidating--I think it's a good deal.
7/12/2008 update: Two years after I bought this scale, I like it as much as I did when I first got it.
In fact, today I realized my mother needs a scale, and I bought this one for her. I threw in a Sudoku book and got free shipping. And I look like a very thoughtful daughter. ;^)
But I got her this scale because I know that, even with her no longer perfect eyesight, she'll be able to read the numbers. And I know that after two years of daily use, this scale is still accurate.

The Health o Meter HDL820KD-18 Digital Scale with LCD provides the perfect way to track your weight goals, thanks to its fast, accurate measurement capability. Just step on the scale, and in seconds you'll have the information you need for your weight loss or weight maintenance program. Easier to read than old-fashioned dial scales, this scale takes the guesswork out of reading your weight by clearly displaying your information on a large LCD.
Functional, Streamlined Design Simplifies Your Life Unlike old dial scales with tiny, difficult to decipher indexes, the HDL820KD has a 1.3-inch LCD and clear digital numerals that make reading your weight easy.
The scale itself has a slim design with a silver-tone platform and elegant transparent glass accents. Complementing any home decor, the scale is both striking and conveniently sized. It measures 13.4 x 12.7 x 2.7 inches and weighs 4.2 pounds, meaning that unlike bulky, unsightly dial scales, you will never need to store it away. With your scale in view, you will be more likely to measure your progress and reach your weight goals.
This unit runs on one long-life lithium battery (included). Replacing the battery is easy, and a digital readout lets you know when your battery life is low. And for peace of mind, the HDL820KD is covered by a five-year limited warranty.
Precise Measuring Capability for Accurate Results The Health o Meter Digital Scale accurately measures weight in .2-pound increments up to 330 pounds. Such precise measurement makes reaching your weight goals easier, because it means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns and track how your body responds to different foods, habits, and exercise.
When setting weight objectives for yourself, it is important to have an accurate starting point so you can correctly measure your results. Older bathroom scales featuring a spring action can become inaccurate as the mechanism wears out, meaning that your weight may be off by several pounds each time you step on the scale. The HDL820KD eliminates this problem by "zeroing out"--calibrating itself to begin precisely at zero for better accuracy and, ultimately, better weight control.
Before each weighing, use your foot to gently tap on the lower corner of the scale to calibrate. Once the scale has zeroed out, step on--your weight will be displayed in a matter of seconds. Your weight will continue to be visible for a short time until the LCD turns off automatically.
The Importance of Regular Weight Monitoring to a Healthy Lifestyle Research has shown that people who regularly weigh themselves lose more weight and prevent more weight gain than people who weigh themselves infrequently. This is because weighing yourself more often can help you recognize your body's patterns of weight gain and loss and can help you modify your lifestyle before your weight becomes difficult to control.
Regular weight monitoring will help you learn about how your body responds to different foods, eating habits, and exercise. That means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns so you won't get discouraged and halt your weight management progress. Also, frequent weighing will fuel your motivation for reaching your weight goals, keeping you on track and encouraged along the way.
What's in the Box Digital LCD scale, one CR2032 long-life 3-volt lithium battery, and instruction manual.

Emjoi AP30 Body Fat Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This device is an aid to anyone wanting to keep track of their body fat. I got it because I need to lose some serious body fat :D
What I like:
++ You can measure individual sections of your body
++ It's much more accurate that body fat scales
++ It has a "history" so you can access your previous readings
What I don't like:
++ It's a little hard to get used to holding it in the beginning, but you can get the hang of it if you practice!
Overall: I'd say, if you are concerned about your body fat, make the investment.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Emjoi AP30 Body Fat Monitor

Handy for monitoring the progress of dieting and exercise, this device measures body fat by emitting a beam of infrared light. Because muscle absorbs light and fat reflects it, the monitor records the amount of the light reflected back, calculates the percentage of fat in the body part being scrutinized, and instantly displays the result on a LCD screen. It will also recall from its memory a user's previous reading. Programmable by age, height, weight, and gender, the monitor compares a user's results to the standard minimum/maximum range of body fat for others with those factors. It operates on one 9-volt battery (included), weighs just 2.9 ounces, measures 4 by 2 by 1.6 inches, comes in a padded travel/storage case, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred BrackInstantly measures fat percentage of any part of bodyEmits infrared light beam and records amount of light reflected back by fatMonitors progress of dieting and exercising by showing previous readingCompares results with standard based on age, height, weight, genderOperates on one 9-volt battery (included)

It is very small and light weight. It gives very consistent measurements. I was initially concerned about the size and consistency since your feet hang over both ends of the scale when you stand on it. But it works very well.

Tanita HD351 Digital Scale with Memory Function Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a big guy (currently 403lbs) was 421 a few months ago and have been slowly going down each week, this scale is SO accurate, if I get on and off 4-5 times in a row down to the .2 its still solid, then when I go to the healthclub and use their $2000 professional scale it reads the same numbers as the home scale.
Again I am closer to the top limits of this scale (440 top weight) yet it feels solid and doesn't flex or feel "cheap" or like it is going to break or anything.
5 different user buttons along with each of those 5 inputs having the last weight viewable for reference and a large readout and stepon plate (I wear a 14 EEEEE shoe and have no problems) make this scale worth buying at any cost.

Microlife WS100 Digital Body Fat Analyzer Weight Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This scale is truly very disappointing. In comparison to other scales it seems to consistently underestimate my weight. Apart from that, the scale shows me completely different readings, sometimes with gaps as large as 7 pounds, if I measure my weight several times in a row with intervals of a few seconds. In short, I think this scale is pretty much useless.

My Weigh Elite Series Bathroom Body Weight Scale - 400 lb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this scale to replace an older digital scale that broke, and I'm very impressed.
To weigh yourself, you step on the scale, wait about 3-4 seconds for the scale to stabilize, and look at the reading. The weight is easy to read -- large numerals with a backlight. The only drawback of the backlight is that it will increase battery usage. You have a choice of units -- pounds, kilograms, or stones.
The scale itself is very sleek and low profile. It's 11.8 inches (width) x 11.7 inches. Some scales (both digital and analog) make a clunking sound as you step on, but this is totally silent.
Like most digital scales, it has to be placed on a hard surface such as tile or wood.
Some digital scales have a "fake repeatability." That is, if you weigh yourself, and then hold a small weight and step on again, it gives exactly the same value. This scale doesn't have this undesirable feature. If you hold a small weight, it gives an honest result.
I measured the variability of nine readings. The range (max minus min) was 0.4 pounds, and the standard deviation was 0.12 pounds. This is excellent, and much better than my previous scale.
I think that the absolute reading is very close to correct, but I haven't had a chance yet to compare this scale to the one at my doctor's office.
The instructions warn that the glass surface is slippery when wet. It's not a scale you want to use after stepping out of the shower or bath.
Update January 2011:
After 18 months (and one battery change), it's still working perfectly, but I want to add one more point that other reviewers have mentioned. You do need to remain very still after you get on the scale; otherwise the reading may not lock. To make it work, I stand still for about 5 or 6 seconds. Just stand still and look straight ahead; don't look down at the scale until this time has passed. Occasionally the first reading fails. In that case, step off, wait for the display to go off, and get on again. If the first try fails, the second one almost always succeeds. A person with a balance problem, however, would have difficulty getting a good reading.
I've confirmed that this scale displays a weight extremely close to the one at my doctor's office. (There's no guarantee, of course, that other scales of this model will be equally accurate.)

Body Fat Analyzer - Electronic BIA Meter Review

(More customer reviews)I bought this thinking it would be a nice little tool to use every now and again to monitor my body fat level. I am not overweight, and can still see my abdominal muscles; however, I have lost some definition. I know I am not near the 6% I used to be years ago, but a few months ago I manually tested @ 15.1%. I used this and I came in at 30%, which is way higher than I have ever tested. I know I did not add 15% body fat in 3 months. I am returning this tomorrow.

Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a scale the Omron HBF-500 is excellent. It is consistent, in tests with my wife and I (who are more than 100 pounds different in weight) the scale gave the same weight each of 5 times in a row that we stepped on it. So it is consistent. I am a nurse and weighed myself on our calibrated scales and found that this scale weighed me 0.5 pounds heavier than the hospital one, which can be explained by the glass of water I drank when I got home. So it is both consistent and accurate.
So what about the body fat monitor: As to the accuracy of the monitor I cannot speak. However, it is very consistent, much more consistent than the experience that I have had with the handheld-only monitors from Omron. The scale will calculate your percent body fat & your percent skeletal muscle. It will also give you a reading of your visceral body fat, which is a better indicator of your health risk associated with body fat (visceral body fat is the fat which is inside your body surrounding your organs, which subcutaneous fat is the fat that we all see just under our skin). Using these calculations and the user-defined height, weight, and age data that you enter, it will give you your resting metabolic energy needs for the day to give you an idea of how much you should be eating to lose weight in a healthy manner.
The scale has 4 user profiles so that 4 different users can use the scale and track their data. Data can be recalled letting you know what your measurements were yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, and 3 months ago.
The handle fits well inside the front of the scale. I was expecting the scale to be bulkier than it is. It is just a little taller than a normal scale and very attractive. It isn't something that you're going to need to hide between uses. Just put it where any normal bathroom scale would fit.
The scale is a little bit difficult to use if you haven't read the instruction manual. The good news is that the manual is very easy to use and very informative. Plan on 5-10 minutes of reading time when your scale first arrives. You will be glad that you learned all about what your new scale does. After skimming the manual, my wife and I are both able to operate the scale and use all of its functionality.
Price-wise, this seems like an excellent value. The cost of a high-quality scale added to the price of a decent Body-fat monitor (which won't give you the more detailed body composition detail of this hands-and-feet monitor) will be more than the price of this one unit. Also, this unit keeps all of your data in one location. So for the price, this unit was a no-brainer for me when it was time to buy a new scale after my old one stopped being consistent and accurate.
Highly recommended.

The Omron HBF-400 Fat Loss Monitor with Scale is the perfect way to track your weight loss goals, thanks to its fast, accurate measurement of weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index (BMI).

For the Whole Family The HBF-400 supports up to four personal profiles, so each member of your family can track their own measurements independently. Plus, an easy-to-read and large digital display makes it a snap to get the information you need.
Detailed Measurement The weight display measures weight up to 330 pounds in .2-pound increments, while body fat percentage can be measured from 5 to 60 percent in .1 percent increments.

Made for Just about Everyone The HBF-400 is set up to provide measurements for folks of nearly all heights (3'4" to 6' 6-3/4") and nearly all ages (10 to 79 years). Measurements are customized for males and females, as well.
Power and Dimensions The HBF-400 runs on four AA batteries, and you can expect about a year of battery life when the device is used four times a day. The unit measures 12.2 x 11.8 x 2.1 inches (L x W x H). The unit weighs 4.7 pounds.
What's in the Box HBF-400 unit, 4 AA batteries, and instruction manual.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method? Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. Theweakelectrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitoris calculated by a formula thatincludes five factors; electric resistance,height,weight,ageandgender. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin). What is resting metabolism? Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight. What is skeletal muscle? Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.
