Customer Reviews of Tanita BF681W Family Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water
Customer Review: Fantastic for everything BUT testing body fat percentage
Summary: 4 Stars
These scales are absolutely fantastic when it comes to monitoring your weight. You can set up to four profiles, enter your target weight and it will track your progress and show you from day to day how far up or down you are with regard to your goal. Unlike many other scales which give you a variance depending on where you stand, it doesn't matter where you stand on these scales, it will give you the exact same weight reading.
The body fat testing is another thing. It is far from accurate. My body fat percentage is around 24%, give or take a percentage. But with these scales, one day it will show me to have a 35% body fat, another day 42% body fat - it's very far off.
Having said the body fat inaccuracy, I highly recommend these scales for weight measurement.
Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
We are very happy with this scale. It works well for a family of four and has a very convenient guest setting as well. It seems very accurate and is pretty easy to use once you have set everything up. I like that it has an "athlete" setting for me and settings for the rest of the family for regular levels of activity. Body fat and hydration levels are less useful than I thought they might be when buying this product. In order for it to work well for the hydration and body fat readings, you need to measure yourself at the same time every day and you get good trending but you can't simply walk up to it at any time and get accurate and consistent readings on those items. Overall, it is great as a scale and to help you measure trends on body fat and hydration.Customer Review: A useful health tool
Summary: 4 Stars
This scale has been most helpful to me as it does give a reading for weight, fat % and water %. While not precise, it is accurate, so it measures trends well. Since I have a knee replacement, it can't do a perfect job of telling me the exact numbers (except for weight), but does tell be if I am losing fat or muscle and that helps me get off the couch and back to the gym! It can also give me a clue about taking diuretics for swelling. It would have a perfect score from me if it were more precise in it's weight measurement.Customer Review: great scale, good value
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to use and appears very accurate, lightweight, doesn't take up a lot of space, provides weight, body fat, and water weight. No matter how many times I step on it I get the same weight. Allows for 4 people to keep track of their last settings. Also has an easy button to get just weight. 5 buttons at the end of the scale are easily pushed with your toe to get one of the four individualized settings or the weight only setting.Customer Review: Definitely recommend!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this scale. It is easy to program for up to 4 people, remembers your information, and gives numbers relative to things like activity level of each individual. It is easy to read and gives weight AND body fat level. Seems to be reliable so far. This scale also is easy and large to step on. We don't always like the numbers we see but it definitely tells us what we need to know!
