This product is amazing. "You get what you pay for" is a commonly used phrase, but with this product that is not the case. You actually get less than what you pay for. I connected the two metal contacts with a paper clip and guess what? Me and the paper clip have the exact same body fat percentage! And somehow, my sissors have the same body fat percentage as me and the paper clip! WOWZERS!

I purchased this product thinking, "why not? It is cheap." Well boy was I right. The reading seems to be more a function of the info that you give it rather than any sort of body reading. My mom and I have the exact same readout (despite VERY different body types) as long as we enter the same info into the unit. This product was a severe letdown.

I'm so disappointed with this product. I just had a fat analyzer done at a local gym and i bought this to see my progress at home. It isnt accurate at all! In fact it says that i have 10 percent more body fat than the expensive one at the gym. Even worse, it only works if you tell it that you are a man--and i am a woman. This was a total waste of money. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to get a good quality product.

You get what you pay for, I should have know this, and this is a perfect example. I'm 210 lbs and only 5'9, so of course it think I am obese fat levels. But of course I'm a weight lifter and my body fat is at about 16 percent. This device. this device just goes by theinfo you enter into it, I doubt the thumb sensors are even hooked up to anything. It does include an alarm clock, so I guess its worth seven bucks.

I am confident that my body fat % is between 10% and 17%. It may even be a bit lower. This device tells me that I'm around 30%. It had a bad interface, a poor feel, and doesn't seem well thought out.

Hard to say how accurate this is, but it is consistent. It isnt like some scales I have had that vary by as much as 3 or 4% during the course of a day. However, the accuracy is a big question. Would be nice to compare it to a caliper test and other products for that. Everyone who uses it seems to get a very high reading. Or, maybe we are all just severly overweight. Anyway, for as inexpensive as it is, you can at least judge accurately if your body fat is decreasing or increasing if nothing else.

I purchased this so called "body fat analyzer" to track my progress and cant believe how cheated out of 6 dollars i felt. im 5'9 170 lift 5-6 times a week and do cardio about 3 times and i have B.F% of 28 according to this piece of crap dont waste your money on this pos.

It doesn't work. At my height and weight, my bmi is around 22, this says I am 38% body fat...

It appears that this just has a little algorithm that calculates your "Body Fat" based upon the sex/height/weight you enter. I took this apart and the thumb sensors are, indeed, plastic. How is an electrical current supposed to pass through your body via plastic? What we have is a general body fat calculator based upon the information that is input and a basic alarm clock.

This machine has never once been able to provide me with my BMI, or any BMI in general. My spouse who is skin and bone, was told they were 45% BMI.... this was a complete waste of money. Even if it was only $6.
