Product Reviews of Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale

Product Review: Weight only - forget about body fat & BMI
Summary: 1 Stars

I have had this scale for 7 months. It seems to do a good job of showing my weight. However, it rarely gives anything other than error codes for body fat % and body mass index. I follow all the instructions for set up and use. The only time I get anything other than ERR2 or ERR4 for body fat % or BMI is if I use the scale immediately after stepping out of the shower. I've tried dampening my feet and all the other suggestions but nothing else works.

When it does show a body fat %, the number is not even close to being accurate. I have calculated my body fat % using other methods and the Omron doubles the result.

I could have gotten a digital scale for weight only for a lot less.

Product Review: It does not have Kgs
Summary: 2 Stars

Although it looks like a solid scale (it is made by Omron, so it should be), it does not have the option for Kgs. Amazon displays this item together with HBF 500 so a lot of comments are addressed towards HBF 500. Thus it was really confusing finding information about the weight units. Also, I think you had to keep pushing the button to turn it on/off, although it could be touch sensitive but i never tried it. I returned it back and bought an Escali scale.

Product Review: Scale with Detail measurements
Summary: 5 Stars

Want more than just weight measurements? Want more details so as to let you know more of what is and what is not without having to pay loads of time and money elsewhere AND be able to have it memo for more than one? This is just what this offers and delivers and does NOT take medical or science training to use or decipher. A great bonus, is it is stylish as well !
