User Reviews
Have tried several other types and was not pleased with them. This Health O Meter works great and consistant. A bargain for the price. -- Health O Meter Scale
I've been using the scale for a week. Athough I think it lies, it lies consistantly which makes it easier to track my weight loss process. lol. I love the bells and whistles.
It took a minute to figure out how to get the most accurrate reading, but you can.
I was told to weigh always first thing in the morning. With this scale that is not a good idea. Weighting before your've done any activity gives you a really high body fat and hydration reading. It makes since because most muscles in the body are relaxed and have been using body fluids to repair themselves while you sleep. I've notice that when I weigh at the end of the day, after all the exercising is done and meals are well digested, I get the most accurate readings of body fat, hydration, and weight. I say accurate because it matched the results I got at the doctor's office earlier the same day.
I see two draw back with this scale so far.
1. It does not prove the body fat and hydration information unless the person is programed in.
2. It incourges weighing too often by showing the changes in percent of body fat and hydration.
I want to know so I look everyday. lol. -- Bells and Whistles
The scale has a nice design, I like the iluminated color display very much as it ensures good readability.
If you read the manual first it's easy to do the setup. You can set it up to KG or LB with a switch on the backside.
Unfortunately the first value shown is not correct in many cases, it shows 0.3kg less than the real weight. You have to step of and wait until it's switched off and then repeat the measurement. The second measurement is always identical with all followed measurements. As you have the proceedure every time you want to check your weight I rate it with 4 stars only.
The fat measurement is more a gadget as descriped in many other reviews. If you want to use the fat measurement check it after you had your shower, this provides the most reliable value. This is not a problem of this scale, this is caused by the way the measurement is done and is valid for all scales like this. -- Nice design but not reliable
When I bought this scale, I already had another to use in comparing its results.
I was quite surprised that the scale would produce precise results as far as weight is concerned. It reads slightly heavier than both the other scales I used. One of them was a physician's scale.
The body fat analyzer leaves much to be desired. You can step on it once and get an answer that won't line up anywhere close to what you'll get five minutes later. Both numbers are far off. I think the technology is too sensitive to be accurate.
The body water analyzer is decently accurate. I benchmarked it against one at my health club. However, it also suffers from the same lack of precision as the body fat analyzer.
-- Fairly accurate
This is a good weighing machine for the price. I saw reviews saying that its bad and it shows weights that vary within seconds and stuff, But when ever I weigh my self I saw thats accurate to the 10th of a pound. Its how ever very sensitive to the bodyfat%. I think it either too accurate or it doesnt work toowell. For example if you weigh yourself and have a 20% fat at 150lb drink some soda or something hop back on it shows a difference right away with a 32%fat and 150.2lb. If you care too much about the body fat% with this product make sure that you get the reading early inthe morning before breakfast for best results and see that this is pretty constant over a week. The four storage buttons and the set your goal features are good. I have tested to see if it stores these results if the battery dies down and it did.
The only complaint I have with this Machine is the buttons that you use to set the time. Some times they are too sticky (Its not that I put sticky stuff/trash on it) making it tough to work with. -- Good for the Price.
