Product Reviews of Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor, Black
Product Review: Easy & Ready to go out of package
Summary: 5 Stars
It comes with batteries, so it's ready to go out of the package. Took my a min to set up. Didn't even need to read the directions. But, if you need to they are short and simple.
Take first thing in the morning for the best accuracy. Take at the same time of day for consistency.
Hold your hands out straight. Fast reading.
Product Review: Easy and Accurate
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little skeptical when I bought this, but I wanted a more accurate method of analyzing my overall body fat. I've been gaining weight, but not loosing any midsection fat - this tool lets me know I'm putting on muscle - not just fat pounds. I've decided to incorporate more cardio because of this tool and now I'm seeing the results I wanted - I lost 2 inches so far.
I've found it very easy to use - didn't even need the intstruction manual to get going - but I would reccommend reviewing for tips on usage like some of the other reveiwers have mentioned. And always chart yourself to keep track of your progress.
Product Review: Easy and convenient to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Very easy and convenient to use. Like the fact that you can program your info into it. My husband and I use it. Much more convenient than setting up an appointment at a gym to get my bodyfat tested by someone different all of the time. Great product for the money.Product Review: Easy electronic fat measurement
Summary: 3 Stars
It is easy to setup; takes in a number of variables and uses them to output a value after the measurement.
Getting these variables right has a big impact on the fat % that comes out. I wonder about this. If I enter a different weight or gender, the scan gives me a different fat %. I guess I expected it to not need other inputs besides just the reading itself. Other factors affect the number too: time of day; if you've visited the toilet; the way you hold it; and proximity to your last feeding (should be 2 hours since last feeding). So it has to be done at the same time of day.
If used in a consistent way, and as instructed - the directions that come with it are great - I believe one could get an accurate sense of where their fat % is headed. Like weighing yourself, it's one of those things best measured on a weekly or monthly basis instead of daily.
I was curious if I would be able to "feel" it taking a reading. You can't. But don't use if you have a pacemaker, it says. So it must be pushing some small current.
I have not tried using calipers, but that would be my next thing to try if I explore this again.
Product Review: Easy to Use, Consistent
Summary: 5 Stars
This device is easy to use and it seems very consistent. I might see a 1-2% variation in body fat percentage at the most, making it much more reliable than other forms of measuring body fat.
