5 out of 5 stars My daily sanity check & motivator!   November 12, 2008
I have lost approximately 70 lbs. in the last 4 months... I'd have an exact figure if only I had not put off purchasing this scale until 2 and a half months ago!

This is the best scale I've ever utilized and provides me daily input as to the reality of my momentum! Prior to this scale I never listened to scales as I started off as a 300 lb. large framed male, my weight could fluctuate as much as 12 lbs. in a day and 3 of the 5 reputable weight charts out there have my end weight falling below my actual lean body mass as I am large framed and am putting on considerable muscle. I'd weigh myself but pay more attention to how I fit into clothing as a motivator.

This scale tells me everyday exactly where I am and where I'm going! Each morning I hop on and log my weight, BF%, SM% and BMI in an Excel spreadsheet, no one measurement matters and as such, no more getting bummed when I see my weight boomerang because of water retention or a skeletal mass increase. Heck, weight has become a secondary motivator to an increase in Skeletal Muscle and decrease in Body Fat percentages. What's more, it allows me enough insight to recognize a potential plateau and break the pattern.

I've read some gripes about the BMI accuracy, I qualified mine weekly with calipers for the first 4 weeks and the deviation was a rounding error, it's very accurate. About the only complaint I have is that the weight differs about 2 lbs. from utilizing the general scale and testing with your profile and handle bar.

This has been a great purchase and allows me to focus on my personal body type and track realistic goals. I recommend it to anyone whose trying to maintain discipline in weight loss, fat loss or muscle gains.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent scale   November 10, 2008
I don't care about the other feratures, I just wanted a great scale and this is it! And it is pleasant to look at as well. Feels sturdy, not plastic. Great scale, worth every penny.


5 out of 5 stars Consistent   November 6, 2008
Consistency. It doesn't matter if a scale is off a pound or two, as long as it is consistent! This scale is consistent and very close to the scale at our clinic. What more can you ask for?

This scale works well to tell you your weight pretty accurately, but the BIA it is inaccurate. It only measures the body fat in your lower body. This is because the current from the electrode goes up one leg and down the other (the path of least resistance). It does not travel though the whole body. I recommend the next model up (the one with the handles) for more accurate reading. BIA devices have a +/- 6% error, but the good thing is that they are consistently wrong, so you can still track your progress if you are trying to lose fat. So, if you are only interested in knowing how much body fat you are losing/gaining (mainly in your lower body), this scale will do just fine. As a woman, having most of my fat in my lower body, this scale is good. Another reason I like this scale is because it is very sturdy compared to the glass scales. The electrode wires are not in any easily damaged location like they are on glass scales.

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con este articulo, dado que comenzamos un regimen en mi familia, es espectacular para controlar si nuestros porcentajes de grasa bajan y los musculos suben, es muuuyy sencillo de usar y como viene con 4 memorias podemos controlar sin inconveniente nuestros progresos.
Lo unico que yo le agregaria es un boton de RESET, para no tener que estar apagandolo y prendiendolo si nos queremos pesar 2 personas seguidas, por lo demas todo bien.
