Product Reviews of Omron HBF-514C Full Body Composition Sensing Monitor and Scale
Product Review: Great as a scale, not for body fat analysis.
Summary: 3 Stars
The scale function is great. However, the body fat analyzer is way off. I am cut and lean with visible abs, and it is saying I am at 16%. By contrast the Omron HBF-306C (made by the same company) reads me at 9.6% which is definitely far more accurate. I say pass on this scale, buy a regular scale and an Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor for the body fat analysis.Product Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found this to be consistent and accurate. The key to accurate weight is not using it on carpet the floor has to be hard. And the body fat and skeletal muscle percentages give consistent readings. They may not be perfect but the consistency will let you track your progress. I don't know how the body age is calculated Ihave a really low body fat% and extremely high skeletal muscle % my bmi is just right yet it says I'm older than I am.Product Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
My Mom and I both tried out this scale and it works great. We are both fitness geeks and even though Mom is 60, she has the body of a 40 year old because of yoga, strength training, biking etc. The scale gave fairly accurate readings based on the exercise level she's at. (Muscle, body fat, etc.)
The scale told me I was underweight even though I really don't think I look it. I'm a runner so I have almost no body fat (19.5% for body fat, and 1% for stomach body fat). It also told me my body age was 18, ha! Probably because I'm very thin and my muscle percentage is super high (33.4%). Pretty good for a 34 year old! Anyway, I love the scale.
The only negative thing I dont like about it is it gives you about 3 seconds to shift your weight on the scale before it takes a weight measurement. That is sorta annoying to me.
Product Review: Great product...not made for Athletes.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd give this product a 4.5 out of 5 actually.
Extremely easy set up & use.
But...the product is NOT designed for athletes or individuals with a higher than average % of skeletal muscle. If you are in this category, just understand that your "Body Age" measurement will be significantly thrown off. So just ignore that measurement. I'm 37 with a body fat of ~12% and skeletal muscle of near 43%...and therefore get a reading on here of body age of 55. :-)
It IS a great scale, BMI, & overall body composition measuring tool though. Just understand how some of the algorithms work.
Product Review: Great scale buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This scale is a great buy. The extra 10-20 dollars is worth it for such a good scale with measurements the other scales don't have.
