Kind of detailed to enter everyone. Useful if you have a lot of people in the household needing updates on their weight. Excellent quality.
Great scale at this price! January 9, 2007

I order all kinds of items online and have done so for years. But when it comes to some items, I usually prefer to see it firsthand before ordering. I couldn't do that with this scale, but it turned out better than I'd hoped!
The picture doesn't really show you how well this scale is made. Although the top is primarily plastic, there is so little flex that you'd think the whole thing is metal. The display is high contrast and the digits and icons large making it easy to read even at my height of 6'1". My favorite part of the construction is that the feet "float" slightly allowing the scale to adapt to surfaces that may be a little uneven. That's always been a problem for me on vinyl, tile, or hardwood floors where slight variations occur. Also, the power button on the front (as you walk up to it) toggles the unit on and off. Nice for saving battery life instead of having to rely on an Auto-Off feature (which it will do after 10 minutes of inactivity). The manual states that you'll get about 12 months on one set of batteries (4 x AA) taking four readings a day.
Having memories for 4 people as well as a "guest" reading is great, too. The unit keeps only the last reading, but if you're tracking that information and don't have time to jot it down at a weigh-in, you can always come back later, turn it on, and pull up your profile's most recent data.
The BMI and body fat percentage readouts are simple to understand and a bar graph accompanies the BMI to give you at-a-glance feedback where you're at generally, i.e., Under, Normal, Over, etc. on your BMI. This is based on your providing your gender, height (in 1/4 inch increments) and age.
The manual is well written and in English only. It gives a good overview of how the BMI is calculated and what Omron did to come up with the table references that it uses internally to generate that value.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this scale and highly recommend it for anyone who wants an accurate, repeatable (same readings with little to no variation when taken one after the other) and informative digital scale.
Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor / Scale January 5, 2007

Basically I like the scale. I am pleased with the consistency with the weight part of the scale. I do not believe the body fat monitor. I typically weigh myself at the same time w/ similar clothing - and on one day I get one "body fat" and on another day it will increase or decrease by 50% (i.e. one day it was 21.9 and two days later it was 32.9 ---yet my weight didn't change much).
The body fat option on the scale was not my main reason for the purchase, therefore I am still satisfied with this scale.
It displays weight only in lb January 4, 2007

It displays weight only in lb and not in Kgs.
There is no option to set this. Biggest disadvantage for users like me.

After buying a scale from Amazon which didn't work and I had to return. I was skeptic about this. But it works great and very easy to use. I have never used such an excellent product.
