Omron HBF-500 Body Composition Monitor with Scale

Product is very accurate. Shipped fast. Really like it. It's easy to use and gives accurate measurements. Will buy again.

The scale does exactly what it says it does and seems not only accurate but consistent. I can even weigh my toddler on it and it matches the doctor's scale pretty accurately. I have even used it for mailing books etc to calculate postage. Can't beat that for the price.

It performs well as a digital scale and seems to be pretty accurate and consistent. I ditched my cheaper digital scale because I could step on 3 times in a row and get 3 readings varying by 5 lbs in either direction. For the price, this scale is worth it just as a solid digital scale.

As a body fat calculator, however, it's ridiculously inaccurate and inconsistent. If you want body fat (to measure body fat, that is; not that you actually want more body fat), forget this thing. You'll have to pay more for that if you want it to work, I guess.

If you're just looking for a reliable and consistent digital scale, however, I think this one is pretty good.

As a weighing scale, this product is excellent. Readings are consistent and accurate. However, as a body fat monitor, it is not great. The body fat readings are way different from the ones done at my gym (using calipers). If you need to monitor body fat in terms of whether you are making progress or not, then buy this scale. But if you are looking for accurate body fat / BMI readings, then this scale is not worth buying.

We purchased this scale, because we are very closely monitoring our weight as part of a physician-monitored diet program. This scale is proving to be right in line with the scales at the doctor's office -- very accurate.
