Customer Reviews of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale

Customer Review: Great for BMI readings for muscley individuals and as a regular scale too!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've had this scale for a couple of months and love using it to calculate my true BMI. I've also read that the method it uses for calculating is highly accurate (second to a $400 procedure involving an MRI type machine). Because I've lifted weights for many years of my life, I understand I'm going to be heavier due to the dense muscle, and the BMI output provides me with an accurate reading over the typical BMI calculation which simply uses height and weight. I've watched my BMI and weight go down in concert with one another and it is truly encouraging!

I also have a Wii Fit and it uses the simple calculation to figure out my BMI. This would be truly disconcerting if I trusted the Wii Fit's figure because I understand that muscle weighs a lot more than fat. The Wii Fit shows my BMI at over 29% and says "that's overweight" plumping my poor Mii into a larger body frame, all while she twists about looking at her larger proportions. I only shake my head because I know my REAL scale shows it at less than 23%.

You can also save the settings for up to four people so useful for a family, although the manual states it is not accurate for individuals under 10 years old.

If you want your true BMI reading and a great looking scale, this is the one for you!

**Update July 8, 2010

For quite some time, I've been dealing with the occasional "Err" message when I've gone to weigh myself. And now, I can't get on the scale without it saying "Lo". Sometimes, it will flash my weight for a second before it reads "Lo" - and sometimes, the scale will show that I've lost 3 or 4 pounds out of nowhere and I start to panic that I'm dropping weight way too fast. Then it will correct itself and its back to normal weight again.

I've been EXTREMELY frustrated with these messages and think that maybe "lo" means low batteries so now I'm on the hunt to replace them. I haven't reduced the star rating because its possible the batteries simply need to be replaced. We'll see!
