Customer Response

Not a big fan...
I've had this for over a year now - I have to say - it's not met up to the expectation I had.

From all indications, and I understand the limitations with the technology, the BMI indicator is completely useless if you're above average build.

The scale is extremely sensitive to the slightest gradient from a perfect horizontal, so readings vary considerably if I move the scale even a few inches.

I wish someone had told me these two things before purchasing.

Works as intended
I've had no problems with it. With that said, I don't like is pushing the buttons w/ my toes as it can be a bit tough, but that's probably due to a lack of coordination on my part more-so than the product design. Still, I with they were slightly larger / layed out different, because you don't use the middle, period, so why not expand them towards the bottom of the center "shelf"?

Outside of that, I've owned it for about a month and used it fairly consistently with no technical or physical mishaps. Worth the money.

Better than I expected
I'm a small girl and lift weights which means I need to know if the weight I'm gaining or staying at is muscle or fat. I know that muscle weighs more than fat so it's very important for me to maintain my BMI and fat %. I've always used a Tanita scale which only showed my BMI and not fat %. This scale blows Tanita out of the water and now I can monitor my fitness more closely than ever before. This scale is easy to use and even comes with a chart of what's normal weight for your height. My only complaint is it's a little thick and won't fit under my door like some small scales with less features.

Great product, but shorter than expected life.
I loved this scale for the 2 years I owned it, but the display went on it recently and I had to get rid of it since I couldn't read my weight. The weight readings were pretty accurate though.

Love it
Reluctantly replaced almost 20 year old Tanita body fat monitor scale,, but this one is much better, even.
