Customer Reviews of Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor, Black
Customer Review: Thought I would like this product
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought one of these because most of the reviews showed them as being more accurate than the ones that come on scales. maybe....
since i am losing quite a bit of weight, i check this the first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night. not only can it deviate a bit using it back to back, but it can change as much as 2% from morning to eve, and visa versa. that is not my idea of an accurate device.
even when i just compare mornings to morning, there is way too much variance.
other than that, the product is well thought out and easy to use. better than nothing, since body fat percentage is as important, if not more so, than what the scale says. just wish it was a bit more consistent.
Customer Review: Great basic body fat monitor, easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
As others have said, this is a great body fat ratio monitor, particularly for the money. It has the instructions right on it, which is very helpful if you haven't used it in awhile, and can't remember the procedure to get the reading--no trying to find the manual that you probably threw away or is buried in some drawer somewhere. I had a body fat ratio monitor built into a weight scale, and was very disappointed with the lack of accuracy, despite the brand and the cost. This one seems to be much more accurate. It's very lightweight, so it's easy to store and travel with. I've had mine for a few months, and bought it after doing some research. I'm very happy with it for a small, inexpensive way to track my body muscle/fat ratio.Customer Review: Omron HBF-306C fat loss monitor helps me loose fat
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting one of these fat loss monitors for a couple of years. I looked around at other monitors that were cheaper, but they looked cheaply made and I thought they wouldn't last nor be accurate. The Omron fat loss monitor has a solid feel and helped me loose 23 pounds in the last 30 days. Keep in mind I have been working out 4 hours a day, every day on my new airclimber. The best features is the numbers are easy to read, and it easy to setup for other friends and family members. You have to make sure you hold it straight out to get an accurate reading. You might get errors if you test it on someone over 80 years old. The order shipped even with the free shipping option. I received my pkg in perfect condition in 7 days.Customer Review: Good as expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product knowing it was not going to be too accurate. For the most accurate results I followed the instructions; tested typically right when I woke up or right before I went to bed. However the problem with this product is that its accuracy is VERY poor once you are under 15% bodyfat. The readings I have gotten have been anywhere from 3 to 5 percent apart from each other, despite testing at the same time, under the same condition. It is an OK product to check progress, but don't purchase it thinking the results are end all accurate, they just aren't. I suggest you get the old fashioned caliper test done by your doctor or personal trainer for a more accurate results and then compare to the results from this machine.Customer Review: Very good monitor
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very cool gadget, you can measure your body fat in just seconds. Make sure you do it at the same time every day. Read the manual, you'll find very useful information on there.
Pros:
1. Average size
2. Big numbers
3. Easy to use
4. Metric and US
5. Memory of your profile for easier monitoring
6. Accurate readings (0 to 1% margin of error)
Cons:
1. BMI is useless (this is not a number you should take into consideration, I'm 6'1", I weight 194 pounds, and have 13% body fat, and the BMI indicator says I'm overweight... I'm not overweight)
2. It doesn't have memory for your readings
3. It doesn't have time or date for readings
