| I have been a user of Tanita products for about ten years now, buying my first Tanita bodyfat monitor in late 2000. I was looking into buying one for a friend that was trying to get back in shape and decided to buy two, even though my (now ten years old) unit was fine, mostly because the new units have hydration and my wife was interested in that feature, and they are so inexpensive i thought it worth a shot. I am super pleased with the new monitor and can't believe they can sell it for around $30. The unit is programmable for only two people rather than four as my older unit was, but frankly two was all we needed. I don't think anyone will be displeased with this purchase, even at $60 or $80 dollars i would be happy with the product, at $30 i think everyone who is watching their fitness should have one! |

| We purchased this scale after extensive research. We found it to be a great benefit to any lifestyle plan.I love this scale and all the data it gives. For my purposes, I pay particular attention to the fat%, water% and muscle mass% and, depending on the differences in those numbers, I can adjust my workouts to focus on lowering the fat% and increasing muscle mass% while maintaining weight--valuable info that one cannot get with just a weight scale. I do notice that it consistently weighs 1/ 2 lb. lower than my Weight Watcher scale--I use both scales. At least the weight difference is consistent. I would highly recommend this scale to anyone who is interested in a more wholistic perspective of what's going on with their body while monitoring weight and workout effects. |

| If it is possible to love a scale then I love this one. It is the first scale I have ever had that weighs me the same amount no matter how many times I step on it consecutively. My old scale, I would get on three times and take the average. It weighs me the same as my doctors scale. Finally I have found a scale that I don't feel like throwing out the window. If the price wasn't so high, I would purchase a second one for the downstairs bathroom. |

| I am 70 lbs. overweight and of course you tend to not look at your weight because you are embarrassed. Because of this scale and all that it does we weigh our selves daily and try now to see even the slightest.5 weight loss because of the accuracy of this scale. And the friends and relatives who come over enjoy this Composition monitor because of all it does NOT just the weight scale. Money well spent. |

| I researched carefully before I bought this scale in the bright days of mid summer. The solar powered feature was very appealing. Environmentally friendly! No more batteries! I didn't realize until I read the instructions that the scale will only operate properly under very specific lighting conditions; conditions so specific that they include a diagram. Which, interestingly enough, shows a) a bright electric lamp (Yay! No more batteries! b) with a minimum wattage c) positioned no further than x distance from the scale. That's if you want to power it up. Anything less than that and the scale doesn't function properly, if it functions at all. Even in summer, on most mornings I have had to switch on the overhead light for a while before I can step on the scale and get a reading. I am not optimistic about weighing in during the long, dark mornings of the coming winter. |

| What I like:
Cool black glass look.
Large surface so it is comfy to stand on.
Fast shipping (I got it the day after I ordered it, but I am in the same state).
What I don't like:
The reading is very sensitive to weight distribution. I can make the reading change by more than a pound by shifting my weight from my toes to my heels.
Once the reading locks in, it flashes for 30 seconds, so you need to wait if you want to take another reading.
Bottom line:
Nice scale but not any better than my other scale that was less than half the price. I won't buy it again. |

| Tanita service is so awful it has prompted me to write my first Amazon review. Like "Texan Hubris," I too had a bad experience with customer service. I own a BF-681W, the previous version of this product, purchased in August of 2006. I didn't use it frequently, and so the original provided batteries corroded slightly and the contacts in the scale for battery power eventually got ruined. I know, my bad.
However, the batteries are contained within a plastic piece that pops out of the back of the metal scale. With a soldering iron, I could have it replaced in two minutes. The problem? Not only did the 800 number included with my original documentation no longer work (it was a recording for someone who wanted to talk to me locally--you know, the adult kind), but the people I did get ahold of using the long-distance number found on the company website had little to offer. Apparently, they don't sell spare parts for any of their consumer scales. So this expensive scale is rendered useless by a $2 part that should be easy to replace.
I might be able to hack out a fix and keep using the scale. I would be very wary of buying any scale from this company. It was nice when it worked, but any little problem and they won't back their product. I WILL NOT buy another scale from them; be careful if you choose to do so. |

| I'm mostly concerned with the weight aspect. Does everything I need. Use the other info as a guide. Very helpful. Worth the $. Far better and reliable than the average scale and when you figure rate used versus cost - you'll get your monies worth easily over time. Your health is important enough and there is nothing more frustrating than using an unreliable scale. This is reliable for me. |

| Love this scale....it's actually a raised dial scale, and it's huge. the image does no justice, the actual scale is very well made and it's fairly accurate. I had 2 digital scales died on my within 2-3 years. So I decided to go analog this time and I'm happy. comes with a 10 year warranty...that's impressive. |

| I had the same scale for at least 5 years and loved it. That's why I bought the same for my Dad, who is on diet right now.I recently finished a successful weight loss campaign in which I reached my target weight 75 pounds lighter than when I began. Woohoo! Let's all feel great! However, now is when the real work begins. That weight has to stay off.
My weight loss program had included standing on my doctor's Tanita scale at each appointment while weight, water retention, fat loss, and muscle mass were calibrated. One of the basic parts of my new life of maintenance meant that this responsibility was now passed on to me, but he only bathroom scale I owned gave me an approximate reading of gross weight with no breakdown. Such a Stone Age tool was no longer viable. I ordered my own Tanita through Amazon at a very affordable price and immediately began benefitting by accurate weight calibration plus the absolutely necessary readings of fat and water percentage.
Shortly after I began my own readings with my Tanita, I went on a major vacation in which exercize and eating were two featured activities. I came home and stepped on my Tanita, and to my horror saw I had gained five pounds! (I mean, how surprising was that?) After I calmed down I noticed, thanks to the other readings with which the Tanita scale follows up, I had LOST fat mass, GAINED muscle mass, and was retaining some water, probably due to sodium intake. I breathed a sigh of relief and am thankful for the absolutely necessary knowledge my new Tanita Scale gives me. My opinion is that it is an irreplaceable tool for maintaining proper weight and good health. |

| I purchased this because of the great reviews about Tanita branded scales. However, the only time I got a consistent reading was the first time I stepped on the scale and it gave me the same weight twice. But the next problem was that the weight was incorrect! I tried it out for a couple of weeks but I never did receive the correct weight or the same reading after stepping on and off the scale. So unless you like being frustrated with your products, I would suggest finding another scale.
Note: I would recommend an Eatsmart scale, which I have been pretty pleased with. |

| The problem with reading reviews online is that "some" of the reviews are more than likely from the seller or an employee from the company. The problem with some of the reviews that are written by legitimate customers is that they are leaving their reviews immediately after their purchase, when the item they bought is working perfectly fine.
When I first purchased this scale I thought it was the greatest purchase I have even made. I am a workout fanatic and have been on a strict workout regime for the past 25 plus years. I have to admit that when I bought this scale I was amazed that I would be able to track my weight, as well as my body fat, muscle composition, BMR, metabolic age, etc. I just couldn't believe that a scale so affordable could do all the things this scale claims it can. Well, it did everything it claimed it could do and I test it out, just for curiosity sake. I stopped working out for a couple weeks but still ate healthy, and the scale noticed the difference. My weight didn't increase but I went up in the correct areas for someone who did exactly what I did, stopped working out. I believe this scale works, but the problem is that it does NOT work correctly for that long.
I have had this scale for a few years now and for the past year and a half it has been used ONLY as a traditional scale, only being able to read how much I weigh and nothing else. All the other features stopped working. I have no idea what my body fat is, my metabolic age or any of the other features that intrigued me to purchase this scale. So, long story short, I paid $130 for a sale that does the same thing as a $10 scale from Walmart can do.
"IF" you disregard my review and go forward with your purchase I encourage you to get a warranty and keep your receipt. This scale WILL stop working on your, just as it did to me, and you will be stuck with the most expensive "weight scale" in your area.

| This scale does not measure body fat accurately, period! What a waste of my time and money. I am a personal trainer and have access to $2000 body fat analyzer and state of the art skin fold calipers. This... whatever you want to call it... is junk.
I am 44 years of age, highly athletic, and measure anywhere from 9%-10% body fat depending on who does the testing and what device is used. Today, after purchasing this... whatever you want to call it... I magically turned obese, weighing in at 26% body fat.
Male, Female, athletic, standard, mode 1-3, doesn't make a bit of difference... this scale gets it wrong. Total junk.

| Tanita- known worldwide for our quality, reliability and accuracy. From the leaders in body composition comes a whole new level in measuring your Competitive Edge- Tanita's BC-558 Segmental Body Composition Monitor. Why segmental? Simply put, segmental gives you more information than standard body composition monitors.

The BC-558 is especially useful for anyone who is monitoring the balance of left and right side of body or trying to build or rehabilitate a particular part of one's body.
The BC-558 uses innovative retractable handgrip electrodes, along with standard feet electrodes. These eight bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) electrodes allow the BC-558 to go well beyond standard body composition; giving you a segmental review of what you are made of.
In seconds, this at-home health monitor can display a complete body composition profile, including weight, body fat % (total and segmental), body water %, muscle mass (total and segmental), bone mass, BMR, visceral fat, metabolic age and physique rating.
