Customer Reviews of Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series
Customer Review: Rock solid, great features
Summary: 5 Stars
NOTE: I bought this almost two years ago (see Amazon verified purchase link)
I had a Tanita I bought in 2000 and I loved it. It seemed to last forever until my housekeeper drowned it. I tried to buy a cheap replacement (the name escapes me, see my other reviews) and TOTALLY regretted it. I paid the extra money for this after reading the reviews and based on my previous experience with the brand.
Almost two years later I'm 100% satisfied with this scale. it's attractive, functional and sturdy. I haven't done the research to see what options are out now - maybe there is something newer/better. But this works perfectly for me and I expect it will continue to do so until my new housekeeper has a brain fart.
I highly recommend this model and the brand.
Customer Review: Great Customer Service and Warranty
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this scale 5 years ago and recently had an error message come up. I emailed Tanita and the regional representative contacted me by email. He had me check with new batteries and clean the contacts. Then he cross-referenced my model and lot numbers and said that my scale was still under warranty and if it met the warranty criteria would be replaced. Tanita has a 10 year warranty on this scale and my scale was 5 years old. He gave me an RMA# to submit with my receipt (which is required and I conveniently downloaded from Amazon from a purchase made 5 years ago!!) and about 10 days later I had my replacement scale!! Fantastic Customer Service from Tanita! Thank you Tanita!!! Thank you Amazon!!Customer Review: Tanita BC554 Ironman Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Well Worth the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
A question of accuracy! This scale is the very first I have ever used to actually agree with the measurements taken when I visit the doctor. Even my doctor was impressed with everything this baby could do.
Use. You must weigh yourself in your bare feet, otherwise the internal scanner will not work properly. Once it does, look out! Perhaps one of the most important items it tells you is how many calories it takes to maintain your body "AS IS". This then becomes the figure to beat to lose weight. There's one more thing I get a real kick out of... and that is when it tells me I have a metabolism of a person less than my age.
Customer Review: Best Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this in June, 2006 and have had no issues with this product other than changing the battery one time. I am purchasing a second one since our son moved and asked if he could take the old one. We use it to monitor body fat and weight. It is extremely accurate compared with the monitoring machines we use at the gym. The cost of the fat analysis at the gym was $15 per person. We can get the numbers from the privacy of our home and save time and money. This is a good product and is durable. We keep it stored in the box in the closet when not in use so as to not have it exposed to the humidity on a daily basis in the bathroom.
