Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This device might look like a scale, but it presents a broader snapshot of personal health by not only determining weight, but estimating body fat as well. It does this by sending a safe, imperceptible, low-level electrical pulse (50 kHz) through the body. (Healthcare professionals use similar electrical-pulse devices to estimate body fat by what is known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, or BIA.) The device operates on four AA batteries (included), and its digital screen displays body-fat readings in 0.5 percent increments and weight in either 1/2-pound or 0.2 kg increments, up to 300 pounds or 136 kg.
The TBAF-541 stores data (gender and height) for four users, and has two modes: adult (over 18, with low to moderate physical activity) and child. (Other models have an athlete mode for highly active people.) Toe-tap a button to call up your data, and then step on the device. Within seconds, it displays your weight, followed by an estimate of body-fat percentage. Both will repeat before the device turns off automatically. (There's also a weight-only button.) Durable and easy to maintain, the device measures 12 by 11-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

A good scale at a good price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tanita BF-541 Body Fat Monitor and Scale (Health and Beauty)
My wife and I really enjoy our new Tanita scale. Programming the profile information for each individual (up to 4 -- sex, height and child/adult) is quick and easy. The unit is sturdy yet comfortable to stand on and it is easy to use your toe to choose which profile is to be used (and there's a similar button for a "weight only" mode.)We are 100% satisfied with our scale and you will be too.
