Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This scale/bodyfat tester is of great quality. I have also been very impressed with the overall accuracy. Both my wife and I are trainers and are pretty nutty about tracking our weight and bodyfat. The numbers are fairly consistant over time and compare well with other impedence testers and caliper body fat tests.
The overall body scan is also helpful, giving bone mass, percentage of water, muscle weight, and metabolic age. It says that I have a metabolic age of 12 though I am 37 years old -- so of course I'm going to like this thing!

If you wait until you feel thirsty, your body is already suffering from the effects of mild dehydration. You continually lose water during the day through sweat, urine and breathing. The amount varies due to several reasons, including your physical activity level, illness, medications, poor nutrition, or even climatic conditions. Monitoring your body water percentage allows you to quickly compensate if your levels are low, allowing your body to function more efficiently. Having the right amount of water in your body will not only make you feel healthier, but you'll also reduce your risk of developing serious health problems in the longer term.High body fat levels can reduce your endurance and have been linked to heart disease cancer and diabetes. Tanita's body composition analyzers monitor your body fat and body water levels with Bioelectric Impedance Analysis, or BIA, the same advanced technology used by doctors. Foot pads send a low-level electrical signal. Then BIA measures the resistance to this signal as it travels through the body. With the Tanita BC553 up to four unique users can benefit. Simply supply your gender, age, height and weight into the memory, step on the scale, and the monitor does the rest. The results are analyzed according to each user's information, and the result -- displayed in the monitor's easy-to-read 2.25-inch LCD screen -- is the one of the most comprehensive at-home readings you can get.Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BC553 is intended for use by persons up to 300 pounds and is backed by Tanita's 10-year warranty. Note: Pregnant women should not use this monitor, and if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device, you should not use the body fat reading feature.
