 Nice and durable so far January 13, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Nice unit, body fat as with all of these needs to be used as a guide not verbatim, but its easy to read, has lasted a month in my usually steamy bathroom. Did check weight accuracy vs medical scale and it was spot on. Body fat does show a decrease which it should but if you are extremely lean, yet muscular,(read amateur body builder) the percentage will always be higher. Bodybuilders need to use skin calipers or a float tank.
Excellent Scale January 12, 2007

I must have went through 5 scales purchased at department stores over the past five years. The accuracy on those scales were questionable at best. This one is the first and only scale that I found that really lives up to it's description. Leave it to Omron to do it right. A Real Bargain.
Excellent product. Definitely recommended January 12, 2007

This is a superb product. Extremely accurate and flexible. All my friends get on it when they come over and so far it seems to be doing extremely well. Oh... just one thing, dont use it while its on a carpet, put it on solid ground and then watch the wonder!

Kind of detailed to enter everyone. Useful if you have a lot of people in the household needing updates on their weight. Excellent quality.
Great scale at this price! January 9, 2007

I order all kinds of items online and have done so for years. But when it comes to some items, I usually prefer to see it firsthand before ordering. I couldn't do that with this scale, but it turned out better than I'd hoped!
The picture doesn't really show you how well this scale is made. Although the top is primarily plastic, there is so little flex that you'd think the whole thing is metal. The display is high contrast and the digits and icons large making it easy to read even at my height of 6'1". My favorite part of the construction is that the feet "float" slightly allowing the scale to adapt to surfaces that may be a little uneven. That's always been a problem for me on vinyl, tile, or hardwood floors where slight variations occur. Also, the power button on the front (as you walk up to it) toggles the unit on and off. Nice for saving battery life instead of having to rely on an Auto-Off feature (which it will do after 10 minutes of inactivity). The manual states that you'll get about 12 months on one set of batteries (4 x AA) taking four readings a day.
Having memories for 4 people as well as a "guest" reading is great, too. The unit keeps only the last reading, but if you're tracking that information and don't have time to jot it down at a weigh-in, you can always come back later, turn it on, and pull up your profile's most recent data.
The BMI and body fat percentage readouts are simple to understand and a bar graph accompanies the BMI to give you at-a-glance feedback where you're at generally, i.e., Under, Normal, Over, etc. on your BMI. This is based on your providing your gender, height (in 1/4 inch increments) and age.
The manual is well written and in English only. It gives a good overview of how the BMI is calculated and what Omron did to come up with the table references that it uses internally to generate that value.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this scale and highly recommend it for anyone who wants an accurate, repeatable (same readings with little to no variation when taken one after the other) and informative digital scale.
