Upon the reading of some reviews about this item, claiming that it had a lot of features, I was really excited to see what this scale could do. When I recieved this item, I was dissapointed to find that it didn't have all of the features that it claimed it did.
These are the only things that the scale does:
Weight: Whenever I weigh myself on this scale, it seems like it gives me a different weight every time, but this is only due to the fact that this scale is really sensitive (in a good way), and that I do it at differnt conditions (which the manual tells you not to). If I start weighing myself the way it says in the manual, I bet that the results will be consistent. As far as acuracy goes, this scale is deffinately accurate; this morning I put two of my mom's 8 pound dumbells on the scale and it said 16.0 lbs which means that it is accurate!
BIA: This feature tells you your body fat percentage by sending a small, harmless electric current through your feet. So far, it seems like this feature is the farthest from accurate. Considering that I haven't taken the readings under the same conditions every time, I am going to give the scale the benifit of the doubt and say that the innacurate readings are my fault.
Body Water: This feature will not work if you are under 18! This feature is a nice tool to have, but I am sad that it isn't able to work for me (I'm 16)!
Muscle Mass: This feature will not work if you are under 18! This is also a very nice thing to have, but once again I am dissapointed that it doesn't work on me!
Daily Calorie Intake: This feature will not work if you are under 18! If I am not mistaken, I think that this feature tells you how many calories you need to eat in a day to maintain your current weight. I am also sad that I can't use this feature!
Overall I am very pleased with this scale: it was cheap, and it is very accurate!
I would deffinately recommend it!Get more detail about Tanita BC550 InnerScan Body Composition Monitor.
