"Scale"
This is a great scale reads everything key in your body. Great price also

"Tanita BC553 Ironman InnerScan Scale"
Great product. Holds info. for up to 4 people. I purchased the scale for my husband who is a triathlete who wanted to keep track of his hydratio level, body fat, etc. The scale does it all, and it's easy to use. Also works as a regular scale and is acurate to .5lbs. I even use it for packages to be sent over Christmas! Overall, a good product for the money!

"Great if you understand how to use it..."
I bought this scale about 6 months ago with high hopes and lots of curiosity. I've learned that it doesn't work quite the way I THOUGHT it was going to work, but I have found it to be a very useful and motivating tool when I put it in perspective. For starters, I have discovered that I must weigh myself at the same time each day, as all measurements will be greatly affected depending on what time of day it is (ie: by lunch I've eaten 2 meals, therefore I'm more hydrated and weigh more vs. when I first wake up...). I take all measurements each morning since, well, I'm a pretty "regular" guy and I figure this is probably the best time of day to get the most accurate day-over-day results. Even with this in mind, I've learned that this body composition scale is best used as a "trend" viewing tool, over the course of weeks and months, although I definitely use it as a motivating tool while trying to lose weight and improve overall body composition (ie: lean muscle vs. fat percentages). I do highly recommend this product, assuming the potential buyer understands what they're getting.

"Nice features but varied results"
I enjoy the vast array of features on this product. I understand that my body weight and water composition would change significantly over the course of the day. However, body fat, muscle mass, and bone mass shouldn't vary much over the day. This product seems VERY sensitive to hydration levels. My body fat as reported by this scale has varied from 20-30% (absolute) in a single day! I know that body fat didn't turn into muscle that fast. That is significant considering that it "displays" body fat to 0.1%. They recommend using the scale before dinner (I guess your body would be a proper hydration but without extra weight in your tummy). Schedule your GI right, and you can be a bit lighter, but be careful when you workout, as that can impact your hydration, and thus the readings from this unit.

"Accurate and Easy to use"
The Tanita BC553 Ironman is much easier to read than other scales. It also has more useful information than our old Tanita scale. Based upon other information (body fat measurement and caloric estimations), this body composition monitor seems quite accurate. We like it so much, we gave it as gifts to several friends.
