I really like this scale. I deliberately waited to review it, to make sure it stood up under the abuse of two "not-so-tiny" adults and a couple of kids. The weight measurement is consistent, and if you follow the instructions, the fat measurement is accurate as well. Buy this scale with confidence.

Good scale. I have been happy with it and it has been accurate as far as I can tell. It is nice to have a scale that is accurate to several tenths of a pound. Our old scale flucuated by several pounds depending on how you were standing!

My only complaint is that my husband is sensitive to electrical charges and such (eg cell phones, cordless phones, etc) and the current from the fat measurement makes his feet hurt. It doesn't bother me at all; I just wish we could shut it off if we didn't want that part on.

I love this scale because I can measure my weight very accurately.
However, my body fat is 29% and the scale has never budged from 40%. I think its the whole women and water thing that throws it off. But its a great scale for its price at $$$. Worth buying if
you are monitoring your weight for any reason.

This scale measures body fat much more consintantly than a item I paid $ 150.00 for. It isn't perfect but for its price I think it is very good. I do recommend it.

This weighs our weight just fine, but is off on my fat %. It weighs my husband's % correctly. The problem I have is that I'm dehydrated and it shows my percentage being 5% more than the calipers (gym employee tested) show. So just bear that in mind (the directions give you all that info).

I think this scale is great! The weight measurment is consistant and 0.2lbs increments can be very motivational. I just hate a scale that will give you a reading and then you step off then back on and you get another reading that is different by several pounds - that is NOT the case with this scale! I have also gotten consistant body fat readings as long as I check at the same time each day. Great product!

After losing 25 lbs the body fat monitor has hardly budged at 39%. Other tests show that I'm 26%. That is a huge difference!!! I don't know what the deal is with that. I know some people say that these type of monitors don't work well for women, but if this is the case they should call them "Body Fat Monitor and Scale for MEN". The scale portion of the Tanita, however, works great. Ladies, if you are looking for a body fat monitor, save your money. If [$$] isn't too much to shell out for a very accurate scale, then go for it.

I got this scale the same week I got a personal trainer. That first week the scale and trainer agreed I was 39% fat to lean. Now, pinch tests show me at 29% fat to lean and the scale still says 38%. So, I can't trust it at all. However, the general weight measurement accuracy is excellent.

It kept me motivated when I was trying to lose weight when I was working out, because it told me how much weight in fat that I had. I then knew not only how much fat weight but the rest I either burned off or turned into muscle.

A spiffy scale that is a breeze to set up, works like a charm, and is well-made.
