Tanita UM-081 Digital Scale with Body Fat & Body Water Monitoring

sandra m.: Love this brand. My first one lasted literally 12 years at least before taking a crap. Some newer model is even better, Once I figured out how to use it. Instructions are a little sketchy. Had to rely on a YouTube video.

Lorraine Moore: The Tanita UM-081 Scale was easy to set up and is accurate with the scales used by my doctor's office. I has a Tanita scale that I bought in the 1990's and it worked very well. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good scale.

Loves To Read: This is my 3rd Tanita scale -- one is still at our cottage and one was destroyed in a flood. They are simply the best.

Amazon Customer: This is replacement for the same brand which was approximately 15 years old and finally died. Easy to use and I think accurate.

coach amanda: My previous Tanita scale died after 9 years. This is the most comparable model available. It works well enough and it's simple to use. However it doesn't feel as robust and I wonder if it will last as long as my last one

PattyT: Tanita makes great scales. My last one broke after several years (around 12 actually) when it was dropped onto a hard floor from a fairly high level. It had been dropped many times in the past but this last time did it in. I was crushed. I wanted another Tanita but didn't know which to get as the one I previously owned was no longer for sale. I did a ton of research trying to find the scale that seemed to be the most consistent and that held up well. I came to the conclusion that the UM-081 was that scale.

It came well packaged with easy to follow instructions. It took me a just few minutes to set it up. I just had to input my gender, height and age, I believe, The scale is activated by tapping a small button and then tapping a second one to access your profile. If you want, you can just tap a bar along the bottom and get a "guest reading" which will only give you the weight but not the body fat or water statistics.

I weighed myself and the results were the same as my old Tanita's which was incredibly accurate and consistent. The body fat was also the same within a few tenths. The water composition seemed to be on point. However, the one negative to this scale is...
