This scale has been wonderful. So many scales when you get off and then immediately reweigh you get a different result. This scale is repeatable! The Body Fat results are very helpful but make sure you weigh at consistent times as I have seen my BF % vary up to 5% throughout the course of the day which I entirely believe as I drink a ton of water!

The display is easy to read and the results are displayed for several seconds (10-15 or so) after you step off. The scale is small and unobtrusive. The manual even includes some helpful information on body fat percentages.

This was an excellent buy even if it is more expensive than a standard scale. Oh, and the batteries are included!

this is a top of the line home scale!!

In a country fixated with lowest price merchandise - Take another look America - Cost is one thing - VALUE - FEATURES - and Benifits are what we all want, and this product has it ALL !!

This Body Fat Monitor is so easy to program, and the benifit of knowing your ACCURATE Body Fat % is key to maintaining a healthy body & life.

The fact that Tanita is the Pioneer of bringing Body Fat Monitors to the world got me interested. The features this product has, Athlete Mode for me, Adult Mode for my wife, and Child mode for the kids, as well as Memory for all 4 of us is a great benifit. In addition, I can see my previous weight and Body Fat % and compare the difference to the current measurment has been "inspirational" while dropping 15 lbs and 4% Body Fat.

This also has a Healthy Range indicator that is easy to read, and a feature called DCI ( Daily Caloric Intake ) which tells how many calories you should take in to maintain your current weight - reduce calorie intake - reduce weight !!

This is a high quality product - and with what you get in the way of features & benifits - Tanita should be charging more than they are for this product !

Well Done Tanita !!

The scale seems off by about 5 lbs showing the weight at about 5lbs less. I don't know if I simply got a lemon, (this looked like a unit that might have been returned by another customer, shipped to me from J&R) Also there seems to be no way to easily erase your memorized last shown weight if you don't want everyone else in your home seeing what it was.

I returned the first scale sent to me by Amazon, and asked for a replacement. The first scale varied at each memory key, and even on the same key by 1/2 pound. The new scale is quite accurate, within .2 pound. I am very pleased with the replaced scale and with the return policy of Amazon.com.

I really love these scales. I like them so much that I bought them as a gift for someone else, who I know will appreciate them because they are so accurate and easy to read. They keep track of your previous weight so you can monitor your progress. These are the best scales I have ever owned.

I really don't care much for the body fat percentage feature. It reminds me of a blood pressure watch I used to have. It varies so much that I'm not sure its really measuring anything. Plus, body fat is something that really doesn't change to any appreciable level daily, you'd need months to get any real percentage changes! I got this product to be a good scale, and it is. The kick buttons are nice initialize the scale, and to see previous weight. If you don't have a big family, you can use two or more (of the five) positions and track your weight loss (or gain) over a longer time.

My last scale from a famous company (which makes a huge number of scales) was bought just over a year ago. For some reason it started weighing everyone 22 pounds less after a couple of weeks. There were no adjustments and settings to change or compensate, it was just automatic. I even called the company and they couldn't give me an answer. Just before I bought the Tanita, I found out. The scale calculated its weights based on inputs from the four legs which were suspended on pins. Early on, the scale must have had the plastic bushing damaged on one of the legs. It probably happened just by dragging the scale to use it on the floor. I found out only after the leg finally fell off. It could not be put on, and I had to trash my expensive scale.

In constast, the Tanita is a well made scale which does not depend on external feet to calculate a weight. I bought this particular version so to get a solid piece of equipment. Most companies cheapen the construction of the lower cost models and they don't hold up. The extra features are nice even if I don't make use of them all. Out of the box it is indeed, a solid, well made instrument, I can believe it will hold up much longer than my last scale.

I've owned this scale for quite some time now, and have been very happy with it. As someone pointed out, the fat % can vary wildly. I am pretty sure that it's actually measuring water content (read that somewhere in the manual I think), and so if you don't have a stable body-water content, then the percentages will be wildly variable. Most people are dehydrated, I've found, so the numbers are wrong. Once I got back to drinking the amount of water I needed (prob 64oz/day), I've found the numbers to be not only stable, but also close to what a professional measurement will get you.

I recieved this as a christmas gift. It is very easy to use, and very accurate. I had visited a professional body fat tester and had the same numbers as the ones this scale gave. Which was a little depressing as far as my self image goes, but it made me trust the scale.

Do not purchase this scale. I opened the box expecting a great deal and found a scratched up and discolored scale. In addition, it did not work. I changed the batteries but the scale would not turn on. My immediate impression was it was used. Save your money.

This scale was a great purchase! I would upgrade it if I could because it's nice to be able to program more than one profile into the unit. It always gives consistant body weight and body fat counts. I would recommend this product.
