 Good scale, not good for body fat September 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It performs well as a digital scale and seems to be pretty accurate and consistent. I ditched my cheaper digital scale because I could step on 3 times in a row and get 3 readings varying by 5 lbs in either direction. For the price, this scale is worth it just as a solid digital scale.
As a body fat calculator, however, it's ridiculously inaccurate and inconsistent. If you want body fat (to measure body fat, that is; not that you actually want more body fat), forget this thing. You'll have to pay more for that if you want it to work, I guess.
If you're just looking for a reliable and consistent digital scale, however, I think this one is pretty good.
Excellent Weight Scale - Terrible Fat Monitor September 25, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a weighing scale, this product is excellent. Readings are consistent and accurate. However, as a body fat monitor, it is not great. The body fat readings are way different from the ones done at my gym (using calipers). If you need to monitor body fat in terms of whether you are making progress or not, then buy this scale. But if you are looking for accurate body fat / BMI readings, then this scale is not worth buying.
 Compares well to the doctor's office scales September 21, 2008
We purchased this scale, because we are very closely monitoring our weight as part of a physician-monitored diet program. This scale is proving to be right in line with the scales at the doctor's office -- very accurate.
 Easy to use and to the point. September 21, 2008
Like this review, the Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale is simple to set up, easy to use, and accurate. I use it to monitor my weight and body fat, and don't have to worry about my settings getting changed because Boyfriend set his own profile on the machine - and it only took a few moments.
It's a good scale and monitor. I recommend it.
A sufficient scale September 21, 2008
I've had my scale for a few weeks now, and it works like a charm. It displays weight, body fat %, skeletal muscle %, BMI, and metabolism (amount of calories your body needs in a day). It supports up to 4 users (you have to enter some personal information like age and gender for the body fat %, etc, to work). It supports anonymous users, but for weight measurements only.
All in all, I'm quite happy with it.
