Decent and easy to use

 

My Taylor scale finally broke down so I was in the market for a new one. I wanted one that monitored any fluctuation in the fat percentage as well as the weight. I ordered the Omron because I like their products. What I like about it: Clear directions,...

affordable and effective

 

Used for monitoring weight, Body Mass (BMI, dreived from weight versus height) and body fat. The fat monitor does not work if you are sweaty, just showered or had a big drink. Requires standing still on the scale for a minute or so while it monitors...

Scale works as advertised

 

Scale works as advertised

Scale is accurate with the weight as well as the body fat calculation. The button is a little awkward to press with your foot and it takes one or two seconds to zero calibrate the scale before you can weight yourself, but it's manageable.

Very good scale- only one minor complaint

Works great but a few quirks

I've had this scale for over a year and it functions well so long as you are not operating it on carpet. Personally, I think that is a fairly big flaw though others may not think so. Also, from reading the features you'd think that it maintains a...

The Best Way To Get The Bad News

If we MUST weigh ourselves, at least it should be as painless as possible. This is a sensible, attractive and easy-to-use scale. Since it measures weight and body fat, it leaves little to the imagination when you've had one too many burritos. But we...

Good start, then broke

 

Good start, then broke

Scale was easy to set up and use, but then it quit working about a month after I purchased it.

As many others pointed out, the body fat measurement is 6-12% higher than handheld device.
