Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series

This BC-554 Ironman scale is great and repeats well. It has high weight sensitivity at ± 0.2 lb and repeats. I now wish I had bought the even better and more expensive BC-568 that has hand and foot electrodes, for even better fat, muscle, and bone measurements. I use the weight measurement daily and the record the full set of values once per month. As expected, I actually Gained weight for the first month of diet and fairly intense exercise even though I lost fat, because of increased muscle mass. I like the "Metabolic Age" value on the BC-554. It says I was 93 years old before I started exercising and losing weight, lol! Now I am down to 73 years MA (actual age = 68), so I can track my overall physical fitness improvement.

El producto llegó a tiempo, la caja de la bascula un poco maltratada, pero con instructivos completos. Bastante funcional

Muy buena, con muchas opciones que ayudan a mejorar su eficiencia

I purchased this over 10 years ago, and it's still going strong. As a scale, it's 100% reliable and accurate. The whole family uses it, and it's used multiple times each day. Batteries seem to last forever, as in years. It beeps when its done measuring your weight if you use it as just a scale. This is handy for measuring how much your luggage or boxes weigh when you can't see the read-out (of course, it's not a legal scale for measuring weights for selling or shipping things). The low profile, big numbers, and glass surface make it attractive. It stopped working in its first few months, and it was promptly replaced under warranty by the manufacturer without any hassle. In the decade since it was replaced, it has performed flawlessly. It does not work on soft surfaces like carpets or rugs - it needs to rest on a hard surface. That's its only quirk.The body scan is only meaningful to track changes - I wouldn't trust it for actual measurements of body fat, hydration, BMR, biological age, etc. But you can see how those measurements change from day to day and over the years - and that is meaningful. More importantly, the scale is consistent so long as you use it under the same conditions. For example, it's sensitive to foot moisture (makes sense, skin conductivity), so before and after a shower will give slightly different results. I would purchase this again in a heartbeat, and hope Tanita has a comparable scale come the day this scale ever fails.

Estoy arrepentida debi invertir un poco más y comprar un modelo mejor de Tanita.Me pesé en la báscula de mi Nutrióloga y en esta mía al mismo tiempo y salieron datos muy diferentes. Ambas son Tanita
