Customer Reviews of MyoTape Body Tape Measure
Customer Review: Great concept, poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars
I know it is just a measuring tape, but when you are losing weight, you really want/need an accurate body measurement. With most measuring tapes accuracy is fully dependent upon the user, but not so with this little gem. Unfortunately it seems to have preset intervals at which the scroll mechanism will stop - about every inch or so. So getting an accurate measurement is very difficult. This is such a great design - if more money was put into the production it would be a very handy little item. I definitely would not purchase again.Customer Review: I don't like it
Summary: 1 Stars
This tape is fine for measuring around items, like measuring your waist, biceps, etc. But it stinks for making simple linear measurements, like for example, if you were trying to measure your inseam. You have to "dock" the end of the tape back into the frame to take a measurement. The frame adds approx. 2" to the measurement, and thus the tape starts at 1 3/4". So for a linear measurement, you have to try to start at 2", and subract 1" from the measurement observed. I don't like it -- an old fashioned cloth tape is better.Customer Review: Measures accurately
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a tape measure that was accurate and I could keep it in place while I was measuring. This does the job for a really reasonable price. I do find that one has to be careful once the tab is placed in the holder not to push it or it could come out. Also, once you have measured something, you need to be careful not to tug on the tape or let it slide back which will change the measure. All in all this is a really good product that is easy to use, not flimsy, and made for a person to measure themselves without help.Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I've now owned two of these and both are now in the trash. They break easily. The one I had prior broke something internally and would no longer retract. The one that broke this morning broke off the plastic piece at the end of the tape measure - which occurred when it retracted. I will not buy another. Great idea, and works good when it doesn't break itself (I in no way abused either one of these tape measures). But, I've never had one last for more than 4 months of usage.
Buyer beware.
Customer Review: Wow...what a pleasant surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost didn't buy this device because I thought "my wife has a fabric tape measure an that's all I need", but I was all jazzed up about getting in to great shape and in a moment of weakness bought the MyoTape...and I LOVE it.
The very best thing about it that I love is the fact that it's spring loaded and you don't have to guess about how tight to pull a regular fabric tape measure. This does it for you automatically. It's repeatable, easy, and accurate. Well, well, WELL worth the price. GET IT!
