This review is from: Tanita BF-593 Family Glass Scale plus Body Fat Monitor (Health and Beauty)

Assuming this device really measures all of that, and it may or not, then it's very interesting. But as a simple scale it does not function well. You cannot just step on and weigh yourself. Complicated procedures are required just to do that!

One thing I often use a bathroom scale for is to quickly weigh a package for shipping by weighing myself holding it, then not holding it, and remembering the difference. On a normal scale this takes seconds. On this, it requires eyewear and patience.
