Omron BF212 Digital Scale and Body Composition Monitor with Body Fat Measurement, calculates Your Body Mass Index BMI, Extra Small for Easy Storage

Excellent. It's accurate and fits in a "normal" bathroom!We measured its accuracy with weights when it arrived and it's correct to 0.1 of a pound (what gave me a shock was just how inaccurate our old analogue scales where which led me to believe I was 1.75 STONE lighter than I actualy was!!!!!!).If like us you have a normal/standard sized bathroom (not some vast savannah as per bathroom adverts), then this machine fits in well, at 11.25inches wide, 8.25inches deep and 0.5inch tall, it's slightly smaller than the standard offerings. Some reviewers' have said you can't read the display when your stood on it. True, so, just push the on button, stand on it for 3/4 seconds, step off, and read the display which automaticaly stays on for a further 30 seconds after you've stepped off.For the techy geeks it also remembers the readings for 4 people and calculates your Body Mass Index!. We don't bother with all that, we just press "on", stand on it, and let it turn it self off. Smooth strong glass, very easy to clean and no sharp edges anywhere, highly recommend!!(P.s. it's measuring my weight loss VERY accurately indeed!!!!!)

The scale is quite small in size which is quite neat and just about right.1. It takes 4 AAA batteries -not button type like most others which makes use of rechargeable batteries possible.2. You can turn the unit on by touching the power button with your bare foot but switching it off is another matter and not an easy one so you best forget it and let it turn itself off (3 minutes).3. To use functions other than measuring weight you need to navigate the menu using left / right arrow buttons in order to select a user first. There is no way to avoid this unnecessary action, even if you have only one user registered on the machine. Considering that you place the scale on the floor (something that the designers missed!) it is not as convenient to use, as one would expect

Very good product - records weight, BMI and body fat composition as advertised and easy to use even without reading instructions.There are however two small problems with this product:1) If you have big feet then this is probably not for you. I am a UK size 4 and I find that my toes extend just over the glass at the front. I'm not sure how much of an issue this would be in terms of how well the product works, but I would assume you wouldn't be able to get a good reading for body fat composition if your feet weren't making good contact with the metal contact points.2) The scales give a drastically different reading depending on how soft a service you use them on. My weight differs by about 3 kg depending on whether I rest the scales on our (thin) bathroom carpet or the solid wooden floor in the hall, with the wooden floor giving a higher reading. (Apologies to anyone reading this who has been using this product on a carpet!)Other than that, we are very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone with small feet!

Great Scales, compact but robust. Stylish looking. Very accurate (I use on tiled floor). Show weight in KG or Stones/Lbs, BMI, Body Fat (but not hydration) which I miss from my old WW scales. Only blip, but not a big issue, is that if you want to change from kg to st/lbs or visa versa, you need to remove the batteries and re-programme scales.

It is reliable, simple and good quality. It is quite small in size however it works well actually.

I have now had the scales for just under a week and I am really loving them (apart from how they tell me I'm fat). I wanted a simple scales which also measures body fat %. I very nearly bought the much more expensive Omron scales but I am very glad that I didn't. This scales was only £24.99 which to me at the time felt a little cheap at the time but I decided to give it ago as the product description said that they also measure skeletal muscle. I would like to point out that these do not measure this. The scales measure: weight, body fat % and bmi. This is why I had to drop a star for the wrong product description. However for the price, the other features work really well and it feels very sturdy and well made. As the product states, it is small and compact which is perfect for me having only size 4 feet but my partner who tried it has size 9 feet, the body fat didn't work properly due to his feet not fitting on the electrodes properly. All in all, if you are small like me and want all the features of an expensive set of scales but don't want to pay the high price, get these ones.

Inaccurate or just faulty. I bought these BMI monitor scales as an upgrade from the traditional dial type scales but they vary by about 2 stones, which is a huge problem and as the ability to give accurate readings is the fundamental point of having them. I do not use scales very often, so was confused by the massive change in weight in a single month then tested them in a 10 minute period and I lost and gained well over a stone every time I stood on them. I'm not sure if this fault is limited to my own scales or indicative of this product in general.As I don't use scales regularly, I didn't spot they were faulty otherwise I would have returned them within the first week of purchase. I have had them 3 months and I am really disappointed with them.The scales are a stylish design and feel sturdy. They are slender, making them easy to store as they can slide under a low cabinet or even fit in a draw. The scales are glass with metal feet pads to take personal readings. The touchscreen display is simple to use, you can program 4 people into it and get your BMI, fat and muscle readings and you can switch between lbs and kgs, depending on your preference.I can't recommend them because they are faulty but they do look good ... however this scale is ultimately useless unless they work!!! They will have to be taken to the recycle centre/dump.
