 Weighty Wonder July 12, 2007

This is one heckuva scale. It does everything. It looks fabulous and actually stays clean in our bathroom. Other scales are hard to clean, have you noticed? Not this baby! Just wipe and shine! It is notoriously too accurate to please most members of my household! The display is large and easy to read, and placed far enough toward the outer perimeter that those of us that must peer over some unwanted personal girth, can actually read the sad results without falling headfirst into a bath, sink or toilet bowl. Actually, by monitoring my weight carefully with this scale and making notes of the mass ratios, I have been able to take my belt in by two notches (that's quite a reduction folks!) and lose at least fifteen pounds since we got it two months ago.
So, it's not just a beautiful decor item for m'ladies bath, it is also a very useful, beautifully made precision device that works exactly as advertised and should give years of good service. The only detail I would comment on is the tiny ON button that is labled "OFF" (???!) that one must try and push with a toe, before the scale will read your weight.
If you just stand on it, it remains silent, mute, sans display readout.
They could have either made a larger ON button that says "ON" or better yet, like one of the other Tanita models I own or the Taylor that my daughter has, simply stand on it! Small issue, really. We love it!

I have found my measurements with the caliper highly inaccurate (from one reading to the other) this scale removes the guess work and lets me know exactly how I am doing on my plan. The scale is great. A friend picked up a lower end Tanita scale and found it equally useful/high quality. On his scale he has to compute many of the numbers this model comes with. I think either way, if you go with Tanita, you'll be happy. I sure am.
Great product!! June 10, 2007

This scale and body composition monitor is a great buy and a useful tool for anyone who wants to monitor their progress as they improve their fitness. The body fat and muscle mass readings are extremely useful and encouraging, and allow you to see results quickly, even if you don't see immediate results in weight loss or don't need to lose weight and just want to become fitter. I would recommend this scale to anyone!!
 Very Good Scale May 30, 2007

The weight seems to be very accurate. The scale looks great. It has a lot of other measurements/features that are nice. You enter your age, height, gender, and activity level. The activity level is defined in the owner's manaul-- 1 is sedentary, 2 is moderate activity of lower intensity workout and 3 is athlete/active. They define athlete as someone who excerices 10 hours per week and has a resting heart rate of 60 bpm or less. I wish they had a broader spectrum of selection. I would say that I am a 2.75 if it were a continuous scale. The problem is you have to select, in my case, 2 or 3. I select 2 and I get a 18.4% body fat. I select 3 and I am at 11.4%. I think I am much closer to 11.4%-- probaly 13% or so. I suppose I could do some linear interpolation, but that is a pain. It is very important to compare the numbers from the same time of day (I do it after I wake up, relieve myself and drink a glass of water). In the end it is all relative, so if you compare apples to apples you should get solid feedback on your diet/excercise efforts.
