4.0 out of 5 stars Great for tracking; not so great for the very muscular August 19, 2008

By S. Turner

This product has a lot of neat (if not entirely useful) features that are fun to play with. It tracks weight, body fat, muscle, visceral fat and what age it thinks your body is (as opposed to pure biological age). Additionally, it stores the highest value for each of those items over time, so you can see how you are trending; which is exceptionally useful.

The reason I took a star away from a perfect score, is a small detail about the body fat calculations. Typical BIA devices generally modify the calculation for how much body fat you have, based on if you meet the guidelines they typically call "athlete" (meaning that you exercise more than 5 hours a week at a fairly intense level). This BIA device does NOT provide that functionality. If you fit the category of a regular intense exerciser and are female, you will find that it estimates a body fat percentage up to 5% more on this device than other BIA devices which have the athlete calculation (such as the Omron hand held BIA or the Tanita scale BIA).

3.0 out of 5 stars Great if young and ok shape, very bad is old and bad shape May 2, 2009

Go with the 510 if you don't want resting metabolism (or estimated age). Go with the 500 if you want resting metabolism (and NOT estimated age). Go with the 516 if you want resting metabolism AND estimated body age. HOWEVER, IN MY EXPERIENCE I would caution you that I have both 510 and 516 and learned in comparing the two scales that the 516 does NOT give ANY parameters besides weight (like percent body fat) if your ESTIMATED body age is greater than 80 (probably is over 80 if you actually are over 60 and out of shape or actually over 40 and really out of shape). Tried my mom (62) on both and the HBF-516 kept giving error code "ERR 4", parameters out of range or something like that. BUT the HBF-510 didn't error out and gave her percent body fat and other things (except estimated body age and resting metabolism of course). I tried both scales myself immediately after her and the 510 and 516 worked just fine and yielded all expected variables for each model, go figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accuracy Important February 17, 2009

By A. Holladay

This scale is very accurate. It's important to read the instructions--it will pay off to do so--but once you've read the directions, it's very easy to use. It's lightweight. The functions help you monitor your body composition and make adjustments in your diet to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat by monitoring your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and helps you determine the number of calories your body requires to maintain a healthy weight. The visceral fat measurement is a bonus to help you determine your risk of serious health issues.
