Tanita BC-533 Innerscan Body Analyzer with Glass Platform for Accurate Body Composition Readings

Indiana User: I purchased this scale because I was primarily interested in the bone mass measurement. I also have an Omron Body Composition and Scale (available here on Amazon). The Omron has scale plates you stand on and also a hand grip. The Tanita only has the usual foot scale. My review will compare the two. First, both are sensitive to hydration level. I think the Tanita, however, is more sensitive. Now that I've used it for a few weeks, I can pretty much predict my muscle mass and body fat percentage just by the hydration level. As hydration goes up, muscle mass goes up and body fat percentage goes down. This is true for the Omron but it seems to a lesser extent. Overall, for muscle mass and fat percentage, the two scales are pretty close in their measures over time. The Tanita does consistently indicate about 2-3% higher value for fat than the Omron. For weight, the Tanita has me consistently about one pound lighter than the Omron. For both scales, visceral fat percentage stays consistent with no variance. Bone mass also stays very consistent on the Tanita. There might be a slight increase of .2% given hydration level but, overall, it stays very consistent (e.g., out of 40 measurements,...

ElizabethElizabeth: No había escrito mi calificación hasta no haberla usado. Tengo como 7 meses de uso.
Llegó muy rápido y en condiciones que protegen mucho a la báscula. Es fácil de usar y puedes guardar tus datos de hasta 4 perfiles, para cambiar datos es también fácil.
Yo la compre para consultas nutricionales y llevar un seguimiento más exacto (aparte de la antropometría). Me es práctica y funcional, muy precisa a comparación de mi báscula anterior (Omron malisima en mi experiencia). La Tanita trae instructivo y material impreso de lectura de composición corporal para seguimiento de mediciones. Tiene para libras y kilogramos.

MUY RECOMENDADA!

Amazon Customer: I'm quite happy with my new Tanita! It arrived quickly and was easy to set up and understand. Looks sharp in my gym and is VERY consistent. After reading reviews, I decided to not even try the batteries that came with it and just put in my own new batteries.

Alien Life Form: I used to have an Omron handheld bodyfat measuring device, but since I got my Innerscan scale, it's collecting dust.

As long as you step on this scale at a consistent time and under the very same conditions, you will get a great picture of where your bodyfat and weight are heading. The rest of the features are just the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned, as I don't really use them that much. It's interesting to find out your bone density, water percentage, etc but by no means are these measurements necessary if you're just looking for overall health and fitness. I'm not obsessive about anything other than weight and bodyfat level to be honest.

The scale is extremely easy to use and it requires minimal set-up time and effort. Once you enter your data the first time, you can just use it daily with the press of a button (a couple more presses if you intend to look at all the measurements). The feature where it gives you only weight is great if you're a stickler for saving battery power and a few seconds, but if you aren't, you can just use the full featured mode and have the added benefit of the scale remembering two (if I'm not mistaken) of the previous...

A Long-time Prime Person: This provides a lot of information, much more than just weight, and is very consistant. We have used this every day for over 15 years and it seems to function very well. I read other reviews from other websites on this, like thecompetitiveedge.com. Do some research. I weigh my dog on it (by holding him then weighing myself and subtracting, getting the difference, and the same with my luggage), too (you can select just 'weight' with your toe). Great memory (age, height, and fitness settings, too) and holds several people's information and has a guest setting. You can also choose adult or child. Do not use if pregnant or plan to be at the time of use as an un-feel-able amount of DC goes through your legs (not the belly or above the waist). It is about the size of a typical bathroom scale. I cannot vouch for its fat 'accuracy' but it seems right or at least close enough to compare. The scale seems very accurate. Though it will weigh someone up to 330 lbs., one may need the larger scale if they cannot see the readout. I changed the batteries once in 8 years (it has auto off, but it has never failed or indicated I needed to nor does it become inaccurate over time. The glass seems...
