This product not only measures weight and body fat, it also tells you your body water %, muscle mass, bone mass, daily caloric intake, metabolic age, visceral fat and rates your physique! The Body Water % is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a percentage of total weight. The muscle mass is the amount of muscle in your body. The Bone Mass is the weight of your bone in your body. The Metabolic Age compares your Basal Metabolic Rate to the average age associated with that level of metabolism. The Visceral Fat is the fat in the abdominal cavity (stomach), surrounding the vital organs. The Physique Rating is a rating of your body type; 1-9. Its sleek, modern design of glass and silver accents is a complement to any bathroom. Monitor your health and fitness with a Tanita Innerscan Body Composition Monitor.

Customer Response

Well worth the money!
This is a great scale. Excellent for tracking progress. Well worth the money!

This Scale is an asset over years to monitor your health status.
I purchased this scale in 2006 prior to surgery that was going to screw titanium screws into my pelvis. Since my investigation of the failure rate on this operation depended on a healthy bone mass, so the threads would not strip and fail, I wanted to have a confidence level regarding my bone mass. Since this scale gave me a normal rating for my bone mass, its information was worth the price of the scale just for my peace of mind. Making an adjustment each year for my age, and following a healthy life style regarding diet and exercise, this scale has done a consistent measure of all the factors the scale provides. It's results have been verified by a "Life Line Screening" Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Osteoporosis test recently and by the success of the 2006 operation. Because of the consistency of results for over three years now, and verification by related medical authority, I consider this scale to be an excellent addition to my own yearly health monitoring.

Cool but Not Durable - Not worth 100+ bucks
We purchsed this item about 18 months ago and while we did like the features and look of the product, the durability was a dissapointment.

After about a year, the product stopped working intermittently.
We tried changing batteries and all that stuff but it would still just stop working for days at a time and come back to life without any rhyme or reason. After going through that for about 6 months (I'm a very patient person) I finally had enough and launched it today.

For 100+ bucks I expect more, and would not purchase this product again.

Too complicated for computer-literate 60+ senior
Instructions are confusing, complicated & come in 2-pamplets (with many languages)so user must use both pamplets to determine how it works. I returned it & will purchase a simplier model with weight & fat % options. Perhaps product is more suitable to a techie, athletic type person.

Great healthy lifestyle tool
I recently began using the Tanita body monitor. It provides a comprehensive set of parameters which help me gauge the progress I'm making in managing my health. Rather than simply telling me my weight, it gives me much more insight into the composition of my weight- bpdy fat %, water weight, body age, etc. I now have a much clearer picture of the results of my diet and exercise. I highly recommend it.
