Product Description

Taylor Model 5582 Wireless Remote Body Fat Analyzer and Scale from Taylor, whose body fat scales are rated the highest from leading consumer magazines, a high tech scale that is convenient to use. Experience an easier body fat scale with no bending over or lifting the scale up off the floor to program. The simple, easy-to-detach wireless remote can be held easily in the hands, making programming and reading your body fat and weight readings effortless. Included is mounting hardware so attaching to the wall is easy, if preferred. The scale also features the latest technology to get an accurate measure of health: BIA (bio-electrical impedance analysis) technology which provides fast and accurate body fat analysis; body water hydration measurement percent to determine if the body is hydrated; daily calorie requirements related to present weight and suggested calorie consumption related to optimal weight; optimal weight display in relation to user gender, age, height, body fat and activity level; and body fat level indicator graph so it is simple to determine the body fat range based on age, gender, and height. The oversized platform fits even the largest feet. Capacity is 330 lbs, weighs in pounds or kilograms, measures body fat and body water to the 0.1%, and includes 6 user memories. Plus, as an added feature, the scale can also be programmed in athlete mode, for those individuals with intense workout schedules. Normal mode may over estimate the amount of body fat for elite athletes, and athlete mode changes the calculation to allow for the additional muscle mass. (Also includes a scale only mode) Requires 1 - 9 volt and 4 AAA batteries, not included. 5 year warranty.

No more squinting down past your fat belly/thighs and between your toes to decipher the unpleasant verdict. The removable display can be handheld or mounted anywhere you can easily read the bad news. One of the best uses of wireless I've seen. Great weight, body fat, body water, and calorie data. It adusts for age, m/f, and level of activity from couch potato to athlete. Better yet, you don't have to get down on your knees to program or adjust it. It's ideal for old fat people like me with bad eyesight.

I can walk the wireless display from my bathroom to my home office and enter the data into my PC's training log. Very slick.

The only drawback I can find is that you need wet feet for an analysis. The best reading is given right after a shower.

Finally, if you like the neck pain and squinting you can keep the display attached to to scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be an exceptional product, July 2, 2006

I checked the scale for accuracy in weighing and found it to be within 2oz of perfect at 300lbs. That's close enough for my needs for sure! At first I was getting eratic readings for the body fat and water measurments, but then I read the manual(about 6 pages long, no biggie) and saw where it said your feet need to be slightly moist. After that nugget of info, I started weighing after showering in the mornings and found the body fat and water readings to be very consistent, and accurate too, at least when compared to the readings I get from the super expensive device used at my gym which tracks the Taylors results perfectly. I'm very pleased with the unit and feel it is a great value. Also love the detachable readout device. Very cool.
