Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale Review
I originally ordered a Tanita scale and it stopped working within two weeks. (Amazon, of course, took it back with no problems.) I was so glad when the Omron scale arrived. It costs less than the Tanita but the quality is much higher. The numbers on it are very large and easy to read. Also, it is much easier to place your feet properly than on the Tanita. I can’t wait to try all the features. By the way, I weighed myself over and over and my weight only varied .2 lbs. as promised. Great deal for the money!!!
I compared this body fat monitor to similar ones from Tanita. You are definately getting more for your money here. It stores up to 4 users where the Tanita models only store 2 and compares function for function elsewhere at a lower price point. Not to mention that this scale just feels like better quality when you pick it up. I bought one with one of the Omron Pedometers to take advantage of the instant rebate on Amazon. (I haven’t seen an event on Tanita on Amazon for a while.) The pedometer was the #1 rated in CR. They are both top notch products.
If you are willing to spend a few minutes with the manual, and are interested in healthy weight loss, then this is a great product. This scale will measure body fat and skeletal muscle. This is important because unhealthy weight loss can be accomplished at the expence of muscle and often leads to quick regain of the weight with more fat than you originally started with. The scale does not give 100% accurate measure of body fat or skeletal muscle BUT the readings are consistant if you do them at the start of each day. This means you can see if you are loosing fat (yeah!)or muscle (boo!) over time. Don’t trust any one measurement as it will vary based on fluid intake and other factors. It is better to get an average over several days to see your present level. I am tracking my progress carefully and though I am loosing weight slower, I am actually loosing fat at the same time I am gaining muscle. If I had a regular scale I might assume I wasn’t loosing much weight at all and restricted my calories too much or over exercised. Oh yeah, the scale works great also.
We purchased this scale upon the recommendation of a nurse educator, who heard about it at a conference. We tested it 40 times with the same person and found the results were always very consistent if we followed the manufacturers instructions. We then used it to screen over 150 people at a community education event with great success and confident results. The only negative thing for us was that the reference ranges of the scale for body fat, etc. only apply to those up to the age of 79, (b/c the normal physiology of older persons changes after 80) and we had a couple of very small and light framed individuals the scale wouldn’t “read” – other than their weight. The manufacturer clearly explained all of this in the manual, so it wasn’t a problem, per se, but in a public setting, understandably, some 80+ year olds and a few underweight folks felt left out. It would be nice if Omron came up with a similar product applicable those 80+ too, esp since those in the 85+ category are the fastest growing segment of the population!
