I'm happy with this purchase... has everything I need, and more. The prior reviews were helpful. I mostly pay attention to the weight aspect but it is helpful to have the other features as well which I simply use as a guide. I know that is pricey just for the main feature but I do feel it is accurate which is of utmost importance - for that I give it a 5. I also give it a 5 for ease of use. I figured it out without pre-reading the instructions. (The only thing I wasn't aware of prior to this purchase is that it sends an "safe" electrical charge through your body... I don't know enough about that to comment.)

The scale is accurate for the most part. What I don't like about it is the mild fluctuations from one day to the next. I don't believe that your body changes that much overnight. The body fat and water percentages seem to be in the ballpark, but I don't have anything to compare them to. Overall, I'm satisfied with the scale and think that it is probably more accurate than most.

I purchased this scale based upon the repeated reviews citing consistent accurate scale readings. Although the variation are not huge, I routinely find 3 different weights registered when done one minute apart right in a row. The body fat and water body figures are even more erratic and seem to follow no pattern as my weight has been dropping.
The scale is easy to read and gives a relatively quick weight reading and (as above noted) this is the only reading really worthwhile to me. If I could buy the same scale cheaper without the body/water info, I would do so.
I cannot say that this is not the best of many bad choices, only that it does not provide the consistent weight results that seemed to be reported here. Perhaps the others are a lot worse. But I wouldn't know.

This product weights me approx 4 #s higher than my Dr's scale and the body fat is also higher by 3%. But the numbers are consistant. I just subtract the 4 #s and feel oh so much better.
If you want the best scale out there then get this one. I've owned 2 of these and on the one it took well over a year for the battery to run out-you can always replace it.
The scale measures weight, body fat, your body's water percentage and gives you the daily caloric intake you need to maintain the weight you're at.. Also has a feature that tells you if you're within healthy weight range. O means healthy, + means over-fat and the - is underweight.
As far as the body fat, the body fat moniter works by sending a low level pulse throught the body and measuring all the content. It's very easy to use and allows multiple people in your family to use and program their own information into the scale specifically for themselves.
All you do is put your height in and age and then step on the scale. It will remember you. There's about four buttons, you just chose one and that's your number. The middle button on the scale is just for weight only, if you would prefer just that instead.
I found this scale to be very helpful and much more accurate and reliable than the typical everday scales. The body water and body fat are a good feature to have and i'd rather know that than just the weight. Also the plus indictators and healthy weight range feature is excellent.
