Product Reviews of Taylor 5596G Body fat-Body Water Scale with Bone and Muscle Mass Features
Product Review: No longer happy with this scale
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first got this scale, I was impressed with it's accuracy. However, that accuracy has lasted less than 2 months. I weigh myself everyday (I know you're only supposed to weigh yourself once a week), but my point is that it said I weighed 10 lbs less than I did the day before. I stood on the scale 3 times in a row and got 3 extremely different answers. This has continued to happen. And it's not just a fraction of a pound either. It varies greatly each time. I tried replacing the battery and that didn't help. Basically, I now have a useless thing to stand on that displays random numbers no where near my actual statistics. Product Review: No instructions in box

What can you say, but watch the numbers for your age and see how puffy you can be and the changes daily.
Product Review: Here's the skinny on Taylor's 5596G
Summary: 4 Stars
I never want to rely on body weight alone to assess my health. Scale weight alone will not tell you your body composition. The Taylor 5596G is easy to use, somewhat consistent, and offers lots of information. The primary reason I purchased this scale was to help monitor the effectiveness of my diet. I want to see the body fat decrease without loss of lean body mass. Though my diet isn't perfect neither is this scale. After weighing in 5 times in a row my body weight was the same each time. All other numbers varied but by only 1 - 3%. Short of having a hydrostatic weigh-in done I think that this scale is the next best thing.
Affordability is a 5. Accuracy is a 4. Ease of use is a 4.5.
Product Review: Pretty good product
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't attest to its accuracy in terms of what it can measure since I do not have any other way to compare the results I have read off of it besides weight.
But I can though say that the interface is a lot more easier to read and use than another scale that my room mate has gotten. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get my room mate's scale to measure body fat percentage while this one was considerably straight forward.
When using it, if you do not press any of the buttons on the scale and simply step on it, it measures your weight. I though feel that it is a considerable gripe that it doesn't measure body fat percentage shortly after measuring for weight. Interestingly though, in order to get body fat percentage or the other measures it has available you have to go through set-up all over again but you don't have to re-enter the data. Just press the next button till you hear a beep and its ready to measure.
I don't regret the purchase especially considering the price point in which I had received at the time of purchase.
