Product Reviews of Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale
Product Review: Absolute Must-have
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to upgrade from a regular, cheap weighing scale. Since then this has been used a lot more in my family than the previous one. Agreed that the numbers are not always perfect but I think that has more to do with what time of the day you take your measurements. I do have the Omron handheld fat monitor and the difference is always a few decimal places, which is ok for me since I prefer the convinience of this all-in-one scale a lot more. Don't think twice, just buy it !Product Review: According to the Omron HBF-500 I am an elite athlete! Because it never worked on me.
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me start of by stating that this will be the first time I ever returned an item to Amazon. Yes, I sometimes get product I am not satisfied with, but I usually give them away. However, not this time, I will not let some poor soul get fooled by this inaccurate piece of ... plastic! I feared that someone might take these readings seriously and become anorexic.
Two trainers (sports medicine and nutritionist majors) measured me at the same time. One measured 16.5% and the other 18%. I bought the Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester and it measured 17.5%, heck even the Navy tape measuring system measured 20.1%. The Omron HBF-500 estimates 29%! I read and reread the instructions and I keep getting 26% - 29%. Yes, I get these results seconds apart. I do not expect it to be perfect, but i expect it to be in the ballpark, 11 points is ridiculous. Am I to believe that I am an "athlete" because it clearly states it does not work on athletes? I am in good shape and I do exercise regularly. However, I do not consider myself to be in the same class as a triathlete or any pro athlete. Does this only work on coach potatoes?
By the way, it can't even get weight measurements right. It varies up to 1.8lbs! So how do I know which is right. I would not mind if it was slightly inaccurate, but I do demand consistency. How else am I to track progress? One last rant. The guy pictured on the box looks as if he is in ok shape. Why does it work for him?
Product Review: Accurate scale....terrible body fat measurement!
Summary: 2 Stars
DO NOT buy this scale if you are trying to accurately measure your body fat percentage! I don't know how this scale has managed to recieve such good reviews, it's is horribly inaccurate at measuring anything other than weight. I am a 24 year old ex-college athlete and I exercise/lift weights 7 days a week, yet somehow, according to this scale, I have 27% body fat. I calculated using other methods (tape and calipers) and both reported 9-11%. I only give the scale two stars because it does accurately measure weight. Save your money, buy a less expensive scale and some calipers for a more accurate method of measuring body fat.Product Review: Accurate weight and consistent
Summary: 5 Stars
The scale provides accurate and consistent weight information. Also provides body fat information. I can not vouch for the accuracy of the body fat analysis but it is consistent.Product Review: Accurate!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this scale to help keep me on track with Weight Watchers.
LOVE it! It's very accurate and never shows varying weights when weighing at different times. It's sensitive enough that if I take off my wedding rings it notices!
Excellent scale at an amazing price - worth every penny!
