Product Reviews of Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor
Product Review: Great tool for evaluating weight loss
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great tool to complete your set of evaluation. I'm loosing weight and helping other to do it in a healthy way. Monitoring the body fat is great!Product Review: Works for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I know zip about body-fat monitors, but having just started the P90X program and needing something to monitor my current and (hopefully much lower) future BMIs and body-fat percentages, this unit works just fine for me.
It's simple (takes maybe 45 seconds to set up) and quick (10 seconds to do a reading) -- plus my BMI is dropping, so I'm happy.
And honestly, if a one- or two-percentage-point variance was a sticking point for me (as it is for others who posted here) I'd have bought something that cost more than 25 bucks.
Product Review: Glorified calculator
Summary: 1 Stars
The Omron HBF is a one trick wonder. It's a glorified calculator, and if you know the math, you can do the equation yourself. It would make you believe that you must grip the handles while it checks the BMI of your body, but you could put in any sex/age/height/build/and weight, and it will pop out with the number from the equation, and nothing based on you.
If you can't find the equation, or don't want to do it, it's an investment, otherwise, use a regular calculator and save your money.
Product Review: Too Erratic
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used this device for several weeks and depending on the time of day and the amount of water that you've drunk it will fluctuate up to 10%. Also the number's that seem realistic are 3 to 4 percent off what other fat moniters say. Good idea but spend a little more and get a better one or get a skinfold test one.Product Review: Too much fluctuation
Summary: 2 Stars
They use this at my gym and I thought for the price, I'd get it to have at home to monitor fat loss instead of just the number on the scale.
I tried a few times (testing one after another until I got two of the same readings) and didn't change any settings and the fat percent varied up to 1.5% different each time and never got the same reading twice (after trying about 4-5 times). For $28.00, I would want something that doesn't vary that much.
I'm sending it back and will just use my tape measure and the scale to monitor myself.
