 very accurate July 24, 2008

The scale works great, the body fat is as repeatable as can be expected from a scale. But the scale BEEPS and you cant mute it. To take a complete measurement it beeps when you turn it on, beeps when it is ready for you to step on the scale, beeps when it gets weight, beeps twice when it gets bodyfat and twice more when it gets water. SEVEN beeps. Not terribly loud but piercing. I am an early riser and like to weigh first thing in the morning, but the glares I got from my spouse after being awoken by the beeps may require me returning the product. He is a heavy sleeper and often sleeps through his alarm, but this scale in the bathroom with a closed door woke him up.
Accurate, a must-own if you're trying to lose fat June 20, 2008
I use the caliper method along with this, and the results are always approximately equal. This scale won't give you your exact bodyfat, but the number it gives you is pretty accurate, which you can tell just based on looking in the mirror and going on the net and looking at what different bodyfat percentages look like, and more importantly it will tell you if your bodyfat percentage is going up or down. When I'm dieting and exercising properly, the number goes down by small increments each time. When I'm stuffing myself and not going to the gym enough, the number goes up. The negative reviews are from people who probably didn't follow the procedure correctly.
The weighing scale is extremely accurate, and you should take that measurement in the morning after you've used the bathroom and before you have eaten. The body fat measurement should be taken later in the day, and you shouldn't be full or food or water.
One tip: don't use the athlete setting unless you are an actual athlete, because it'll give you far too flattering a reading. If you are an active person who goes to the gym three times a week and does weight training and cardio, that does not make you an athlete. If you play sports for a few hours five times a week, then you can probably use the athlete setting.
Tanita Duo Scale June 2, 2008
I haven't used all of the functions but the product seems to work fine. I definitely have to put it in the exact same spot to get the same reading if I want to step off of it and step on it again. But it also might be broken: from day to day, it might read that I'm gaining weight!
so far, so good May 23, 2008

1st scale with body fat monitor I have tried so nothing to compare it to. Seems pretty accurate, or at least consistently inaccurate, which is all that matters to me. I like it.
