A good scale but there is NOT an athlete mode for Body Fat

As a scale I give this product 5 stars. It gives me accurate and consistent readings every time. I went with a high capacity scale as I've got size 14 feet that dangle over the sides of most commercial scales giving me inaccurate readings. The large surface area of this scale has made that a non-issue and I've been very please with the product in that regard.





As a body fat analyzer this product did not live up to my expectations. I was displeased to find this product does not in fact have an Athlete setting for body fat measurements as is claimed in Amazon's description of the product. As a lifelong weightlifter I have always found body fat analyzers very inaccurate due to my increased muscle mass. I thought this product would be able to provide me with accurate body fat measurements by way of having a setting specifically for athletes. Unfortunately that has not been the case as the scale routinely advises me I have approximately 35% body fat which is in direct conflict with caliper & hydrostatic testing that has put me at around 20% body fat.



I was going to knock my review of the scale down to 3 stars over seemingly false advertising. I decided not to because I reviewed both the instruction manual and Escali's website and found no claims of this product featuring an athlete setting. Therefore the fault may lie with Amazon's listing of the product and not the product itself.





In summary a good scale for large individuals. A subpar bodyfat analyzer for anyone with above average levels of muscle mass.

Directionally Correct but Accurate???

I've used a simple model from Tanita for over 5 years and was as happy as a man with one clock -- I knew exactly what time it was. The added features of the BC554 were irresistable but now I had 2 sources of data and they were not in agreement by a significant amount (e.g. 3% body fat difference on a base of 16%).



The weight measurement is as good as ever: precise accurate and consistent. The best that can be said of the other functions is that they seem to be directionally correct and some are simply 'figures of merit' not measurements at all.



Customer support is surprising. When I asked the inevitable questions via their web site I received a phone call from them. The answers made sense but only reinforce my assessment.



It seems that the algorithms are based on a statistical sample using gender age height and 'athleticism'. If your actual profile is close to the sample population the accuracy is probably pretty good. But as you progress toward 'athletic' and away from the calibration population accuracy declines.



It seems to me that anyone purchasing this model is serious enough about fitness to fall into this 'no man's land'. The other issue is that I would expect some continuity between the measures for 'standard adult' and 'athletic adult'. But there is a chasm! I measured 19% at 'standard' and 9% at 'athletic'. The first is clearly too high and the second is too low. Maybe a calculated average is closer to an accurate reading but that is a serious shortcoming in a top-of-the-line product.



So simpler & cheaper is my recommendation. Accept the idea that you are getting directionally correct numbers that are only accurate if you match the calibration population profile.More detail ...

Fabulous Scale Sleek Stunning with Precision Accuracy

We bought this scale to replace an older Taylor model. This scale is way beyond our expectations. We love the combination of stunning style with high quality digital accuracy. The readings are consistent and accurate every time. The large number display is terrific. You can see the numbers without bending down even in low light situations. We also enjoy the sense-on technology with no more tapping to turn on the scale. You simply step on and get a reading. Would highly recommend to others.More detail ...

Saltier 914 baby scale

I bought this scale to weigh my cats as I have one that is 14 lbs and should be about 8 lbs (adopted her at that weight). I also have 5 others that I want to monitor their weight to keep them healthy. The cats are pretty good at staying on the scale and it registers quickly to get a weight; some of them love to lay in it. It appears to be very accurate as the weight did not fluctuate when I weighed them several times. I have only had it about 2 months and only use it about once a month so cannot attest to its long-term reliability but it seems like a good product to me. Since a half a pound is a big deal to a cat I wanted something to give me ounces and be accurate and it seems to do both.More detail ...

excellent scale

I just got this scale to replace an older digital scale that broke and I'm very impressed.



To weigh yourself you step on the scale wait about 3-4 seconds for the scale to stabilize and look at the reading. The weight is easy to read -- large numerals with a backlight. The only drawback of the backlight is that it will increase battery usage. You have a choice of units -- pounds kilograms or stones.



The scale itself is very sleek and low profile. It's 11.8 inches (width) x 11.7 inches. Some scales (both digital and analog) make a clunking sound as you step on but this is totally silent.



Like most digital scales it has to be placed on a hard surface such as tile or wood.



Some digital scales have a "fake repeatability." That is if you weigh yourself and then hold a small weight and step on again it gives exactly the same value. This scale doesn't have this undesirable feature. If you hold a small weight it gives an honest result.



I measured the variability of nine readings. The range (max minus min) was 0.4 pounds and the standard deviation was 0.12 pounds. This is excellent and much better than my previous scale.



I think that the absolute reading is very close to correct but I haven't had a chance yet to compare this scale to the one at my doctor's office.



The instructions warn that the glass surface is slippery when wet. It's not a scale you want to use after stepping out of the shower or bath.More detail ...

7th Review 7th 5 star rating!! Great Scale

There may only be seven reviews for this scale but there's a reason that all seven of us have rated this product with 5 stars; it is a marvelous machine. You get 5 numbers: weight body fat muscle mass water percentage and bone mineral mass. There is an athletic setting and a regular setting. When I checked body fat (the most examined number) in both athletic and regular mode the range of fat seemed consistent with a range for my height weight and build. Obviously each user will choose the setting that seems most accurate to them (athletic or normal).



The only issue that I have with the scale is in the length of time that information is displayed. Weight is flashed three times and then is solid for about 5 seconds before the scale turns itself off. As well the body percentages cycle three times before they turn off. I would prefer for the numbers to show as long as you are on the scale. I think that the manufacturers designed it that way to preserve battery life.



Nevertheless if you do repeated tests within the same time span you get consistent results (no variations). So the consistency alone is the main reason for getting this scale. I highly recommend this product. Even if you just use it for the scale it's worth it.More detail ...

Great Scale with Bonsuses

As a scale the Omron HBF-500 is excellent. It is consistent in tests with my wife and I (who are more than 100 pounds different in weight) the scale gave the same weight each of 5 times in a row that we stepped on it. So it is consistent. I am a nurse and weighed myself on our calibrated scales and found that this scale weighed me 0.5 pounds heavier than the hospital one which can be explained by the glass of water I drank when I got home. So it is both consistent and accurate.



So what about the body fat monitor: As to the accuracy of the monitor I cannot speak. However it is very consistent much more consistent than the experience that I have had with the handheld-only monitors from Omron. The scale will calculate your percent body fat & your percent skeletal muscle. It will also give you a reading of your visceral body fat which is a better indicator of your health risk associated with body fat (visceral body fat is the fat which is inside your body surrounding your organs which subcutaneous fat is the fat that we all see just under our skin). Using these calculations and the user-defined height weight and age data that you enter it will give you your resting metabolic energy needs for the day to give you an idea of how much you should be eating to lose weight in a healthy manner.



The scale has 4 user profiles so that 4 different users can use the scale and track their data. Data can be recalled letting you know what your measurements were yesterday a week ago a month ago and 3 months ago.



The handle fits well inside the front of the scale. I was expecting the scale to be bulkier than it is. It is just a little taller than a normal scale and very attractive. It isn't something that you're going to need to hide between uses. Just put it where any normal bathroom scale would fit.



The scale is a little bit difficult to use if you haven't read the instruction manual. The good news is that the manual is very easy to use and very informative. Plan on 5-10 minutes of reading time when your scale first arrives. You will be glad that you learned all about what your new scale does. After skimming the manual my wife and I are both able to operate the scale and use all of its functionality.



Price-wise this seems like an excellent value. The cost of a high-quality scale added to the price of a decent Body-fat monitor (which won't give you the more detailed body composition detail of this hands-and-feet monitor) will be more than the price of this one unit. Also this unit keeps all of your data in one location. So for the price this unit was a no-brainer for me when it was time to buy a new scale after my old one stopped being consistent and accurate.



Highly recommended.More detail ...

Not looking back. Customer service really is that good.

After months of frustration looking for a bathroom scale that would be accurate and reliable I am finally happy to say I think that this one fits the bill. I have been on a pretty hardcore weight loss regimen for the last seven months and got sick of dealing with a series of bathroom scales that were inaccurate and inconsistent. It was a huge hit to my morale every time I got on and the weights fluctuated +- 2 to 3 pounds in a few minutes. After a lot of research here are the plusses and minuses I found:



PROS

1. Consistency - Get on the scale get off get back on. Repeat as many times as you want. You are going to get the same weight. No fluctuations or hickups. Biggest single thing I needed in a scale.

2. Accuracy - I actually brought this scale to my Weight Watchers class and compared to what they had (beam scale). Dead on accurate within .2 pounds.

3. Regular batteries - Doesn't take any fancy batteries. Put in the four AAA batteries that came with it and I was off and running.

4. Sturdy platform - Will not tip over. Base is sturdy and low to the ground. Plenty of room to maneuver.

5. Backlit Display - Don't have to hunch over to read this display. Its the biggest I have owned on a scale by far.

6. Easy activation - Just step on this scale. No hitting buttons to turn it on. No tapping. Step on and get a weight!



CONS

So far none. Will update in the future if that changes.



Would buy this scale again and definitely will be giving it as a gift to friends and family in the future.



Update: I contacted their customer service to inquire about the mechanics of the scale (my trainer wanted to make sure I didn't buy a scale that "remembered" my weight). Not only did one of the owners of the company actually pick up the phone but he spent the time to make sure I understood my scale well. They seem to really stand behind these products.More detail ...

Looks Great And Is Cheap!

I got this scale just for the "upscale" look. It's sleek metal with glass. They state that the lithium battery lasts a long time so we'll see. It does take four rotations of the `zeros' to fly by before your weight is shown (to the half pound). It looks great and it's cheap. It's thick glass so if your weight shows more than you expected you can toss this sucker across the room and it won't break!



UPDATE: Almost five years and it is still working on the same battery!More detail ...

Hits the Spot!

Buy this odd-looking yet extremely handy device if you have a hard-to-reach spot that needs constant attention. Especially useful for the back or if you need to apply a good amount of pressure on spots such as the bottom of the foot. Things I like best about it include:



-it's lightweight

-handles positioned so you can keep pressure on a spot while rubbing

-is in the shape of a "hook" so virtually no spot is out of reach



Intended for those who need to regularly massage out tense areas in the muscles it's a very useful tool- and cheaper than therapy! Also recommend Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis if you suffer from chronic back pain.More detail ...
