| This is the second Health-O-Meter scale we've had and both have proven to be reliable and easy to set up. This one was purchased because of the BMI function which was not included in the previous purchase. Both of these scales are to be highly recommended. |

| I am very pleased with the quality and features for this scale. It was very easy to setup my own tracking program. The price was also a added feature that made my decision to buy easy. |

I was looking for a scale to replace my old clunker that had rusted away.
I wanted one with the ability to measure body fat.
This scale not only measures body fat but also fluid content as well.
Best, it has a memory to hold up to 12 measurements for each of the four users which you can review at the touch of a button and it can keep track of up to four different individuals. Of course if you are the only one using the scale you can program all four buttons for yourself and then save up to 48 measurements for yourself.
You can also use it without storing measurements so any number of people can use it.
For the four people you do want to keep track of the programming is simple. Choose one of the four buttons on the front of the scale and hold it down along with the "Select" button. Then enter how tall the person is, male or female and what that person's goal weight is, if you want to. It isn't required. That is it. You are ready to go.
To weigh yourself, touch the button you assigned to yourself. The scale turns on, zeros itself out and you then stand on the scale barefooted so that it can measure the fat and fluid contents of your body. Wait about 30 seconds and it will display your current weight, then your weight and fat/fluid percentages then how much you gained or lost since the last time you stored your weight. Step off of the scale and touch the Select button with your toe to store your current measurements and you are done.
To review your progress, touch the assigned button for yourself and then the up or down buttons to page through the stored measurements for yourself. Each stored measurement consists of three screens of data. For each saved weight, the first screen contains the weight and the date that weight was taken and the amount of weight change from that weighing to the previous one. The second screen contains the total weight you have lost since you began weighing yourself until the date you are reviewing, what your starting weight was and the percentage of body fat your last measurement was. The third screen contains the same information as the second except instead of body fat it displays your hydration percentage.
So you have a complete record for each time you took your weight and saved it and so you can see how you are progressing and whether your loss is from loss of body fat or fluid. Many people see that they lose 2-3 pounds and think they have lost weight when actually they have only lost excess fluid that may have been retained from using too much salt or eating salty snacks.
With this scale you can see if your weight loss is real body weight or just fluid.

Fatter than I thought... :(

| I think this scale is pretty good. It seems to take weights accurately. I like knowing when I'm dehydrated. On the other hand my body fat fluctuates >3% a day, so I think it's more of an estimated body fat than a hard and fast number. |
Still not too sure about this...

Health-O-Meter scale: I guess it's okay, for the price. I've had it about three weeks, and here's my impression so far.
Pros:
- It is pretty consistent. I weigh myself three or four times in a row, and the measurements are within 1.5 pounds - about a half a percent - so that's pretty good, measurement-wise.
- It is a good size to stand comfortably on. I don't feel like I'm falling off the sides of it.
- Big, clear display. Easy to read.
Cons:
- It powers off WAY too quickly. Don't step off the scale and expect to be able to see the reading, because it will be gone.
- It takes too long to start up. I know, it's only a few seconds, but... every time? I'm used to an analog, non-power scale, so any delay is a change.
- I don't know about the body fat and hydration readings. Is it really possible that I'm only 38% hydrated?
- Not sure how sturdy it is. One of my kids did something to it (I don't know what, exactly), and now the glass over the display screen is out of place, kind of pushed in and to the side. I don't know how it happened, so I can't say if this is reasonable, but I think not -- a scale should be tough beyond what a four-year-old is likely to do. Anyway, it IS still working.
All things considered, I can't give this scale a hearty endorsement, but it isn't terrible, either. Maybe in a year I'll remember to come and update this review. |
