Customer Reviews of Tanita 2001T-FW Ultimate Body Fat Monitor and Scale, Translucent Frosty White
Customer Review: Measure body fat percentage at a low price.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great scale that is ready to use right out of the box. Just turn it on, using the toe button located on the bottom right side, and step on. Within seconds you have your weight displayed very accurately within a half pound. The trump card feature of this scale is its ability to measure you body fat percentage (using bioelectrical impedance analysis). Just enter some basic info about yourself (adult/child, male/female, and height) and 5-4-3-2-1 (yes, the scale really counts down) you have your body fat percentage. The manual has a chart listing acceptable body fat levels so you can keep track of where your at.
The scale cant measure body fat for everyone. Very small children and very fit (athletes) individuals will give false body fat readings (however, weight is always measured accurately).
The only major flaw with the scale is that you have to manually input your age, gender and height every time you want to measure body fat. A memory feature should have been added to save your information, as it can become very annoying to re-enter your information again and again. A memory feature is available on Tanitas higher end model scales
The digital display is fairly easy to read (some scales have larger readouts).
Overall it is a nice, compact scale that is fast and accurate.
Customer Review: Very good product but lacks a few things
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using it for almost a year now. Over all I like it a lot. Here is what I think is good or bad in it:
Pros:
1. Measuring Weight (that's what its supposed to do and should be good at... right!). If you are planning to loose weight you can watch your weight go down over days in 1/2 lb steps.
2. Doesn't loose its calibration (some other weight scales require calibration).
3. You can measure body fat (not very accurate though)
4. Its gentle on batteries so they last for a long time.
Cons:
1. Body fat measurement is very inaccurate even if you fall with in the specified weight and height limits. They can be completely off if you use this scale after taking a shower.
2. You can't store the weight or body fat trends (yeep keep a log book handy if you want to record your weight).
3. Body fat measurement could be some what difficult to set up. Controls could have been easier than how they are.
Overall a very good product.
Customer Review: Great Body Fat Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this scale all the time. It is the best scale I have ever bought. I have no complaints about it. I have even tested it many times, weighing myself, waiting a bit, and then weighing myself again to see if it returns the same weight each time. It does! I have never had it give me two different weights or two different body fat percentages.
The one downfall like everyone has said is there is no memory feature. But after a while, you memorize what you have to put in, and I can do it with my big toe in about 10 seconds.
For the price that you pay for this scale (and the quality of the scale), you can easily forget about the memory feature. I absolutely love this scale and I would recommend it to everyone out there.
Customer Review: Great Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
This scale is awesome, especially for the price. I love how it shows if you have gained or lost even a half a pound. It has legs so it can sit on carpet. It looks cool and high tech. I think the body fat isn't exact, but it gives you something to go by so you know if it's going up or down. I wish it kept my info for the body fat measurement, but it only takes a second anyways. It's simple and that's exactly what I wanted.Customer Review: Great Scale!
Summary: 4 Stars
This scale is very accurate. It's nice to be able to know what you weigh and what your're body fat is. Although, it's not as accurate with body fat % for people that have very low body fat. All-in-all, it's a great scale that I would recommend. It's very easy to use. The only draw back is that you pretty much have to put in all your information every time you want to find out your body fat %.
