It's a neat gadget for the price. As someone mentioned above, it does fluctuate, just make sure to use the same grip and holding position and you will get consistent results. I was disappointed that the height stops at 6'6" though. It ranges from a height of 3'4" to 6'6" and weight range is 23 lb to 440.5 lb.Product Review: Good Product

I purchased the monitor for our work fitness center. Everyone seems to enjoy tracking their progress with the device. It's easy to use and seems to be fairly accurate. It's a good deal for the price.Product Review: Good as expected

I bought this product knowing it was not going to be too accurate. For the most accurate results I followed the instructions; tested typically right when I woke up or right before I went to bed. However the problem with this product is that its accuracy is VERY poor once you are under 15% bodyfat. The readings I have gotten have been anywhere from 3 to 5 percent apart from each other, despite testing at the same time, under the same condition. It is an OK product to check progress, but don't purchase it thinking the results are end all accurate, they just aren't. I suggest you get the old fashioned caliper test done by your doctor or personal trainer for a more accurate results and then compare to the results from this machine.Product Review: Good but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this item after reading the reviews. It seemed like a lot of people just weren't following the directions properly so I ordered. I follow the directions to the letter and have had positive but somewhat mixed results. Disclaimer: I am tall 6'6'' and muscular (although not as lean as I could be). The absolute level of body fat seems 5 or 6 % points high to me, although its possible it is correct. Directionaly it is correct. Meaning, when I lose fat (based on looking in the mirror) the body fat % goes down. The BMI monitor is where I have issues. This also has to do with the way BMI is calculated in general but it says I am "Very High" or well over the efficient ratio, when that is just not the case. Overall it is a good way to monitor progress regarding fat loss but maybe not THE most accurate way for absolute %. I will give credit in that there aren't many ways to do this accurately, especially at home.
