Customer Reviews of Tanita BF679 DUO Body Fat Monitor Scale w/ Adult & Child Modes BF679Customer Review: Very accurate for checking weight. Pretty good for fat %. Summary: 5 Stars
In the process of owning this scale (Tanita BF679), I have lost about 30 pounds. My old scale (not digital) was inaccurate. It would show a different weight everytime I got on. Also, it wasn't even close to my gym's accurate scale. This Tanita is as accurate as my gym's scale. I weigh myself everyday.
Overall, I am very happy with the accurateness of the scale. The fat monitor is accurate. I would estimate that it is within 2% of actual. If you want a fat monitor that is within 1% of accuracy, go with the Tanita BF 578 ($99). This was recommended by Men's Health magazine and they said that it was within 1% of their water dunk tank results. Water dunk tanks are the most accurate measurement for fat. Water dunk tanks disregard the water in your body. In comparison, the Tanita and all other body fat monitors use electricity and water in your body to calculate fat. Therefore, if you drink lots of water before getting on the scale, you will get a lower fat percentage. That's why the instructions call for you to weigh yourself for fat 3 hours after waking up and after having a meal. (For consistency).
Keep in mind that it will cost more than twice as much to get that extra 1% accuracy with the Tanita BF 578 ($99). I don't need super exact fat percentages, just a trend. I've lost about 7.6% body fat.
The battery (included) has lasted four months without problems. This is the best scale I have owned and would buy another in a heartbeat.
I would definitely recommend this product, Tanita BF679, to any dieter needing an accurate way to check their weight.

Description of Tanita BF679 DUO Body Fat Monitor Scale w/ Adult & Child Modes BF679Tanita's two-person Duo Scale plus body fat monitors store two sets of pre-programmed personal data for fast, simple operation. The Duo model are designed specifically for two people who want to stay in control of weight and body fat management. This Tanita scale and body fat monitor helps you get a more accurate picture of your overall health by going above and beyond standard scale functionality. Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), the monitor calculates body fat percentage by sending a safe, low-level electrical signal up through the feet. The 2-1/4-inch, dual-line LED monitor shows both weight and body fat percentage readings at once, so you can track and understand fluctuations in your body. The scale also shows where your readings fall in relation to a healthy range. Designed to adjust for age, gender, and height, the scale stores profiles and previous readings for up to two users. There's also a "guest" option and a weight-only setting. It has a 300-pound capacity and delivers readings in 0.2-pound and 0.5% increments. Suitable for ages 7-99 and body types ranging from the inactive to the moderately active, it is not appropriate for athletic, pregnant, or pacemaker-wearing individuals. A moderate amount of initial programming is required; thereafter, operation is as easy as tapping a few buttons with your toes. The unit runs on four AA batteries and measures 11-3/4 by 12 by 1-1/2 inches. --Emily Bedard
