5 out of 5 stars It's not all about your weight!!!   August 14, 2008
I have always been conscious of my weight but after getting this "scale", I am more focused on whether I am hydrated enough and my body fat composition . Both my husband and I highly recommend this "scale".




1 out of 5 stars Not Acceptable Performace - Highly Variable Results   July 28, 2008
This was not a useful product in any sense, as the results varied by 30% depending upon what time it was used during the day. Even the scale was about as accurate as my $40 electronic scale from Bed, Bath and Beyond. Do not waste your time and money on this product.


4 out of 5 stars Great Scale   June 25, 2008
Scale is great, but it is a bit pricey. Does as advertised, and customer support is outstanding.


1 out of 5 stars Be wary about using your Tanita in a bathroom.   May 22, 2008

Be wary of Tanita and their warranty claims. The product itself was decent, and fairly accurate, however Tanita is not a company that prides itself in customer service and product support. I used my scale in a normal bathroom environment, and after just 3 months you could see evaporation underneath the screen. I don't know if a gasket had a crack in it, or what the issue might have been, but the unit couldn't withstand the normal humidity of a bathroom. In fact, the unit was a good 20 feet from any active water, like a shower and tub.

I shipped the unit in, and without even so much as a courtesy call, the "customer service manager" returned my unit with a note that my warranty claim was refused, even though I had spoken to someone before about the issue, and said it would be replaced no problem. The customer service manager was nice enough, but said that even though it was well within the boundaries of his discretion, he was going to refuse the claim, because they refuse all like claims regarding evaporation. He even admitted that it happens fairly often.

Stay away.

His recommendation? Buy another Tanita, and not place it in the bathroom. Right.

Most accurate of the body composition monitoring scales I have tried-
Especially good if you are in pretty good shape to begin with. Only drawback is the kids can break it if they're not careful.
