Hi All,
First things first...I have recently started the Atkins diet, yet again, and thus wanted to get a scale that I had faith in. We went to Target and bought a regular Taylor Digital scale...but I was a bit perturbed by the way that thing behaved. I figured I would try Amazon and get a higher quality scale and give it a shot. Here is my story.
I setup a physical with the DR yesterday evening, the 1st day I decided to start my change in food based lifestyle. I knew the scale would be at home when I got there since I had it shipped via Amazon Prime 2nd day. The DR did the usual and took my weight (without shoes, fully clothed). I came home and without too much of an afterthought I set this scale up (it requires 4 AA batteries NOT INCLUDED). I went ahead and weighed myself without shoes again and voila....the weight was almost identical to the DR's office. I mean its hard on those DR scales to get a ACCURATE read-out...but I had a good idea and this scale was 99.9% dead on. I then proceeded to try the Taylor (which we still have until it gets returned) and my weight was off by 2lbs....off on the lower side. There was no way I lost 2lbs that quickly. HAHA. As a side note...I did place the scales at the same location when weighing myself so that there was no difference in floor/etc....
All that being said... I dont really care about the BMI measurements, YET. That will be something I get more into when my body starts to make changes. However, here is the cool part, this scale will remember up to 6 users in its memory. Basically you go through a simple setup and tell it about a users age, weight, height, and male/female. While it may not allow day to day tracking of weight loss, it does keep track of your weight and BMI on a daily basis.
The build quality of the SCALE is nice...it also looks great in stainless steel and looks like a professional unit. If you are wondering..it is probably about 2 inches in height from the ground. The LCD is large enough to see clearly and guides you through your weigh in. When I say it guides you, I mean that when you turn it on and get to your user settings it blinks to 0 and then you simply watch the lcd display until it has done your weight and BMI.
One of the best features is that it turns it self off when you are done and you simply can hit the power button towards the front lip with your toe to tun it on. You can also use your toes to press the buttons to get it into your USER settings so it can memorize/track your progress.
I think it is a great scale and would highly recommend it. I hope my review gives you some helpful insight into the product.
Product Review: Excellent Weight Scale - Terrible Fat Monitor
Summary: 3 Stars
As a weighing scale, this product is excellent. Readings are consistent and accurate. However, as a body fat monitor, it is not great. The body fat readings are way different from the ones done at my gym (using calipers). If you need to monitor body fat in terms of whether you are making progress or not, then buy this scale. But if you are looking for accurate body fat / BMI readings, then this scale is not worth buying.Product Review: Excellent scale and fat monitor

I read the other reviews and decided to purchase this one from Omron. I took back the one I purchased from Walmart that was more expensive but not as accurate as this one. This was a great purchase and the was price wasn't bad either.Product Review: Fantastic, Accurate Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently had my resting metabolic rate measurement (RMR) in the doctor's office as part of a weight loss plan. The reading for this scale was within 1.5% of the reading taken in the doctor's office! At some point I will compare the body fat percentage meausurement with that of calipers, so I don't have a comparison for this measurement. Nevertheless, the scale was worth the purchase and it was a bargin.
