Product Reviews of Tanita BF679W Duo Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water
Product Review: A very durable scale that is accurate for the most part
Summary: 3 Stars
The Tanita Duo Scale Plus Fat Monitor is considered a very durable scale that is accurate for the most part, with some reported exceptions usually involving external factors. If you are planning to count calories, or monitor heart rate and body fat during your intense workout sessions, then a Tanita monitor is certainly nothing less than a safe buy. Jody BissoonProduct Review: Very accurate (too accurate!)
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a stickler for details...you almost have to be to buy a scale that's accurate to the 1/10 of a pound. If you don't actually want an honest answer about your weight, don't buy this, but if you want the God's honest truth than this is for you. I'm not entirely convinced that the body fat and water weight calculations are 100% correct, there's a lot of variables and the average consumer has no way to test the validity of it, but as far as weight measurements go this scale is marvelous.Product Review: Tanita scale
Summary: 5 Stars
The scale purchase came as ordered and I am very pleased with it. It seems to be very accurate and reliable. Product Review: Be wary about using your Tanita in a bathroom.
Summary: 1 Stars
Be wary of Tanita and their warranty claims. The product itself was decent, and fairly accurate, however Tanita is not a company that prides itself in customer service and product support. I used my scale in a normal bathroom environment, and after just 3 months you could see evaporation underneath the screen. I don't know if a gasket had a crack in it, or what the issue might have been, but the unit couldn't withstand the normal humidity of a bathroom. In fact, the unit was a good 20 feet from any active water, like a shower and tub.
I shipped the unit in, and without even so much as a courtesy call, the "customer service manager" returned my unit with a note that my warranty claim was refused, even though I had spoken to someone before about the issue, and said it would be replaced no problem. The customer service manager was nice enough, but said that even though it was well within the boundaries of his discretion, he was going to refuse the claim, because they refuse all like claims regarding evaporation. He even admitted that it happens fairly often.
Stay away.
His recommendation? Buy another Tanita, and not place it in the bathroom. Right.
Product Review: Weight measurement right on....body fat % is a joke......
Summary: 2 Stars
The weight measurement is extremely accurate. I would go with a simple weight measurement scale or keep seaching for body fat % scales if you want accurate results. My scale consistantly says that my body fat % is between 30% and 40%. It requires you to plug in your height and wight...I am a 5'8'' female weighing about 145 lbs... so basically there is absolutely no possible way for my body fat percent to be in the 30s or the 40s. Its measurements are not even close to reasonable. I knew it was wrong, but the numbers still scared me, so I had a fitness assessment at my gym and they measured my body fat with the calibers (much more accurate method) and it was 18%...huge difference and I will stick to that!
