Omron HBF-500 Body Composition Monitor with Scale

I don't care about the other feratures, I just wanted a great scale and this is it! And it is pleasant to look at as well. Feels sturdy, not plastic. Great scale, worth every penny.

Consistency. It doesn't matter if a scale is off a pound or two, as long as it is consistent! This scale is consistent and very close to the scale at our clinic. What more can you ask for?

This scale works well to tell you your weight pretty accurately, but the BIA it is inaccurate. It only measures the body fat in your lower body. This is because the current from the electrode goes up one leg and down the other (the path of least resistance). It does not travel though the whole body. I recommend the next model up (the one with the handles) for more accurate reading. BIA devices have a +/- 6% error, but the good thing is that they are consistently wrong, so you can still track your progress if you are trying to lose fat. So, if you are only interested in knowing how much body fat you are losing/gaining (mainly in your lower body), this scale will do just fine. As a woman, having most of my fat in my lower body, this scale is good. Another reason I like this scale is because it is very sturdy compared to the glass scales. The electrode wires are not in any easily damaged location like they are on glass scales.

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con este artículo, dado que comenzamos un régimen en mi familia, es espéctacular para controlar si nuestros porcentajes de grasa bajan y los músculos suben, es muuuyy sencillo de usar y como viene con 4 memorias podemos controlar sin inconveniente nuestros progresos.
Lo único que yo le agregaría es un botón de RESET, para no tener que estar apagándolo y prendiendolo si nos queremos pesar 2 personas seguidas, por lo demás todo bien.

I mainly bought it because other reviewers said it was accurate in weight measure. I totally agree. I press by my toe and it turns on, calibrates itself quickly, then I step on, and within a few seconds in flashes the weight. I am totally pleased. I tried the other features and they seem fine, but my main focus is on it being an accurate scale.
