Product Reviews of Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale
Product Review: Body fat % is way off but everything else checks in fine
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, I purchased this product about a year ago and am finally getting around to a review. I can honestly say that the body fat % is a good bit off(about 10% higher on the scale) on this omron product. I've actually gotten measured at my university fitness club(by caliper) and also at my local ymca where they have the fancy machines that measure your body fat percentage; the difference between the fitness club and ymca is marginal, but the omron scale calculates my body fat % much higher(10%). I've tried taking the batteries out for a while so it can reset and still no luck. My wife uses the scale as well and she has the same issue I do. The weight and BMI measure fine as far as I can tell. I guess the silver lining about the Omron product is that for me the numbers were consistent so you could measure how you are doing compared to last week etc. I just wouldn't trust the actual body fat % number that pops up on the display.Product Review: Broken from day one.
Summary: 1 Stars
From day 1 this product never worked properly. The batteries underneath the scale kept on losing connectivity to the coils so I constantly had to reset them in. Almost every time I went on the scale I would need to do this since the scale would lose power as I was weighing my self. VERY ANNOYING!!!Product Review: Change User Hard To See
Summary: 2 Stars
I found it difficult to change to new user. With my wife and I using this unit we found it hard to change settings. The main difficulty is reading and understanding the setting buttons. You need to bring the unit close to you in order to view and change the buttons. Cannot not see while standing over it, and letters on buttons too small for my eyes. The display number is very large and readable however. Also, be sure you have paper and pencil in hand if you want to log in your numbers to compare with earlier readings.Product Review: Cheaply made, inaccurate, junk.
Summary: 1 Stars
I was pretty excited to get this in the mail. However the excitement quickly wore off when I realized the scale doesn't work properly. I measured this scale against 3 other scales and they all got near the same number. However after weighing myself 10 times on this scale, I received 10 different answers. Now this was all on the same day as well so there was no way it was me losing/gaining weight. This measured me at 90lbs, thats a laugh, because the other three scales measured me at approx. 160lbs. This thing was poorly designed, the materials it is made out of look like dollar general quality (very loose, plastic). Can't believe I paid money for this, and now I have to make a trip up to the UPS store to return it. This is such a waste of money and time, if I were you I'd go to your local wal-mart or w/e and buy a $15 scale, it will work 10x better and it will hold up. And if you're curious about your fat %, just go to a local gym or the doctor. At least then you'll know for sure.Product Review: Consistent readings
Summary: 4 Stars
It gives consistent readings and is a nice scale.
Again, the readings are consisteng (I don't really care if its very accurate since Im trying to measure any changes) but the error messages make it take a bit too long.
