Product Reviews of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
Product Review: Great Purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
You couldn't ask more for your money. The readings are great and its the perfect size so easily stored as well. The plastic trim and handle doesn't seem to be the most durable thing in the world, but with care it hasn't failed me yet. I definately recommend this product.Product Review: Great Scale!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this scale about 6 weeks ago and just love it! It is very accurate as the other reviews state. You can stand on it several times and even on different surfaces and get the exact same reading. It is very impressive looking and sturdy. Highly recommend it for the price on Amazon. The manufacturer should include more info on bone mass as stated in another review and also go into more depth explaining other measurements but overall it is OUTSTANDING!!Product Review: Great at first, then gets worse
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first received this scale, it worked great and I was super excited! Then shortly after, the scale began to become inaccurate, not only in the body fat percentage, but also the weight! The scale would add anywhere between 5 and 10 pounds without even stepping on it! I have had this scale for 4 months now and have not been able to get it back to being accurate yet. If anyone has any tips or is having the same problem, some insight would be greatly appreciated.Product Review: Great company to buy from!

I won't restate all the obvious facts that are listed. I would just like to say that Taylor has the best WARRANTY. They stand behind their products. I had another scale before this one, approximately 5 YEARS after i got it the scale started acting up, i called them and they checked a couple things and then immediately sent me a new scale. They stand behind their products forever ..... hard to go wrong with a company like this ... especially given all the options and the value you get with their scales.Product Review: Great for BMI readings for muscley individuals and as a regular scale too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this scale for a couple of months and love using it to calculate my true BMI. I've also read that the method it uses for calculating is highly accurate (second to a $400 procedure involving an MRI type machine). Because I've lifted weights for many years of my life, I understand I'm going to be heavier due to the dense muscle, and the BMI output provides me with an accurate reading over the typical BMI calculation which simply uses height and weight. I've watched my BMI and weight go down in concert with one another and it is truly encouraging!
I also have a Wii Fit and it uses the simple calculation to figure out my BMI. This would be truly disconcerting if I trusted the Wii Fit's figure because I understand that muscle weighs a lot more than fat. The Wii Fit shows my BMI at over 29% and says "that's overweight" plumping my poor Mii into a larger body frame, all while she twists about looking at her larger proportions. I only shake my head because I know my REAL scale shows it at less than 23%.
You can also save the settings for up to four people so useful for a family, although the manual states it is not accurate for individuals under 10 years old.
If you want your true BMI reading and a great looking scale, this is the one for you!
**Update July 8, 2010
For quite some time, I've been dealing with the occasional "Err" message when I've gone to weigh myself. And now, I can't get on the scale without it saying "Lo". Sometimes, it will flash my weight for a second before it reads "Lo" - and sometimes, the scale will show that I've lost 3 or 4 pounds out of nowhere and I start to panic that I'm dropping weight way too fast. Then it will correct itself and its back to normal weight again.
I've been EXTREMELY frustrated with these messages and think that maybe "lo" means low batteries so now I'm on the hunt to replace them. I haven't reduced the star rating because its possible the batteries simply need to be replaced. We'll see!
