Customer Reviews of Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale
Customer Review: Stylish, but not as functional as I'd hoped
Summary: 3 Stars
This scale looks beautiful, and I think the weight measurement is accurate, but I bought it for the body fat monitor, and that is way off. They do admit in the instruction booklet that the monitor won't be accurate for "athletes or people with a high percentage of muscle", but I wish I'd known that before buying. I'm no Olympian, but I work out regularly, and had had my body fat measured on previous occasions as being 21-22%. This scale measures it consistently as 32-33%. I'm assuming the discrepancy is because of my muscle mass, not because the scale itself is malfunctioning, but I'll admit to being lazy enough not to want to return it and find out -- if the next one did the same thing, I would have wasted my time. Anyway, nice features otherwise, and at least I can tell if I'm going up or down! :o)Customer Review: Very pleased with this purchase

Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale
I did extensive research before I selected the Omron scale. While the glass topped scales are a bit classier looking, I was going for accuracy, not beauty. I've had this product for about a month and so far am very pleased with it.
I recently was weighed at the Dr's office, then weighed myself immediately after returning to my home. There was only a .2 difference which is very minimal.
The Omron HBF-400 is very easy to set up, turns off and on at a touch of the toe and turns off automatically if you forget and shows the same weight if I weight myself several times in a row.
I can certainly recommend this product.
Customer Review: Okay.

I don't consider this scale to be a good value. For this price, it should always register the same weight. I like that it is easy to read my weight, but I hate that I can step on the scale 3 different times and get 3 different weights. It's SO annoying! I find myself averaging the weights - it usually can't decide between 3...so I'll step on like 6 times...resulting in 3 different weights...which I'll average. It's annoying. I have to believe there's a less expensive scale out there that is consistent. Also, the body fat function is rubbish. If you're an athlete, don't even think about buying this scale for that purpose. I'd find a different scale full stop. It does actually get really close to the scale at my gym...but the weight changing thing gets on my last precision-loving nerve.Customer Review: does what it says

Not really sure how to review this one, as it's just a scale/body fat monitor.
It's really simple to use. You power it on, wait for it to start and then press the user button to choose which user you are. This scale gives the option to have up to 4 people keep track of their weight and body mass index.
In order for the scale to work you must be barefoot (preferably naked given your clothes add weight). It seems to give an accurate reading, more accurate than the standard dial kind of scale, and is much easier to read.
Just make sure you know your height prior to inputting your information as you need to have an accurate height input in order to get an accurate body mass index reading.
Worth the money if you want to watch your weight.
Customer Review: Very Accurate...WellI ask my Doctor.

I will say when I got to my Doctors office that morning I was within a half pound on his scale. I like this one because every time you start it calibrates and no matter if you lean forward, backward or to the side you cant fool it. Some scales change as you lean side to side but this one once you stop gets the same weight and I have tried to trick it by leaning just for the fun of it. Also if you get on and then get back on and back on again its always the same. Not sure how accurate the fat checker is on it but nothing is as good as the tongs pinching your skin. I do wish it had memory to keep progress but Im not complaining because I new it didn't when I bought it. I just bought a Omron BP checker and took it to Doctor to be checked...all I will say is from now one I will buy Omron.
