Product Reviews of Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series
Product Review: Best Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this in June, 2006 and have had no issues with this product other than changing the battery one time. I am purchasing a second one since our son moved and asked if he could take the old one. We use it to monitor body fat and weight. It is extremely accurate compared with the monitoring machines we use at the gym. The cost of the fat analysis at the gym was $15 per person. We can get the numbers from the privacy of our home and save time and money. This is a good product and is durable. We keep it stored in the box in the closet when not in use so as to not have it exposed to the humidity on a daily basis in the bathroom.Product Review: Best Scale

I like this scale. I use it in KG mode to match my medical needs and my wife uses it in LBS for her monitoring.Product Review: Best in Category
Summary: 5 Stars
Most accurate of the body composition monitoring scales I have tried-
Especially good if you are in pretty good shape to begin with. Only drawback is the kids can break it if they're not careful.
Product Review: Best scale out there (Oct 2005)
Summary: 4 Stars
This scale has so many functions. It is really cool. As for consistant readings, I get almost the same readings day after day. But if I change how much I eat or exercise more I can see the change.
This scale is almost the same as the Tanita top of the line. Except this one lets you view the readings you want, rather then wait for the scale to cycle through the readings. This scale will also cycle through the readins, but you can stop them and go to any reading or let it cycle then go back to any reading you want. Also this has nice big preset number buttons. Which is important since you may be hitting them first thing in the morning when you are not awake yet. This scale also remember more readign from the last time. It has BMR instead of the daily calories reading.
I find this scale is very close to another much cheaper Tanita scale in weight and body fat. Of course the cheaper scale doesn't have all the extra readings. My wife finds the metabolic age reading to motivate her. She likes thinking she is younger then she is. (What ever helps...) I like the muscle mass wieght reading along with weight and body fat%.
The scale looks really good being half glass. The glass is strong and won't break unless you tried hammering it, etc. It is easy to use and does a reading in about 10-15 seconds. It takes more time if you are moving around as it waits for a reasonably steady weight reading.
I wish it had the daily calorie reading and it was more accurate. It would be nice if the body fat could show accuratly that I had burned off half an ounce of fat... But no scale today can do that, or any other method while you are alive. So I will live with the best that is out today, October 2005.
Thumbs up.
Product Review: Body Composition Monitor

Quite Happy with the scale, but it is true you need to take the readings at the same time everyday or week. YOu can be out by 3% if not. I find it very useful for Ironman training as you can monitor the changes in your body during training.
