Customer Reviews of Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale

Customer Review: Accurate Scale. Not to measure bodyfat!
Summary: 2 Stars

At first glance this scale looks fairly sophisticated. Looks can be deceiving. I'm fairly certain that the body fat sensor don't do anything at all. Why does a body fat measuring device need to know if you are an athlete or what your height is? If is truly measuring resistance through your body this info should be irrelevant! What it is actually doing is calculating your BMI. That is completely useless if you want to know your bodyfat percentage! Don't believe me? Change your height! Your body fat will go down if you say you are taller and will go up if you say you are shorter! In exact accordance with a BMI chart! Utterly useless!!!

I rated this a two because the scale works very well. People having trouble with the scale must be using their unit on carpet! That or their's is defective.

The Taylor 5571P PrecisionTech Body Fat Analyzer Scale measures body fat and body water with 0.5-percent accuracy. Designed with pink and white accents that show support for fighting breast cancer, this scale is built with four memories to store the whole family's personal data. The scale uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) to measure body fat and body water percentage. By using relatively simple technology, this scale measures electrical resistance (body cell mass is a good conductor, while fat tissue is a bad conductor) and capacitive resistance (created at the cell membranes of the cell mass). Then, the collected data is used to calculate the BIA.

So what does all this have to do with weight loss? Based on the data collected by this scale, deficiencies such as catabolism (the unwanted breakdown of lean muscle mass) can be documented, which is important to track during weight loss. When you reduce bodyweight, fat tissue should be reduced, not muscle mass. Thus, tracking your BIA is especially important when you diet because it shows "real" weight loss progress, so you're not just dropping pounds, but also burning away unwanted fat.

This scale does more than help you fight your weight loss, it also helps fight breast cancer. Breast cancer touches almost everyone -- family, friends, or co-workers -- and Taylor wants to help fund the fight. With the purchase of this scale, Taylor will donate one dollar to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Increased body fat has been linked in studies to an increased risk of breast cancer. Using the 5571P will help you monitor your overall body health, and, by focusing on body fat, body water, and weight levels, you can keep close tabs on your health and make changes to minimize your risks of breast cancer.

In addition to body fat and body water analysis, this scale also features a scale-only mode for basic weight measurements. It is accurate to 330 pounds, features an instant on, auto zero, auto off, and low battery indicator. All functions are powered by a single nine-volt battery (not included).
