BodyPedia8-Electrode Smart Scale for Body Weight, Digital Bathroom Weighing Scale Analyzes 43 Metrics (BMI/Muscle/Fat), Body Composition Monitor, Bluetooth Home User Health Equipment Sync Apps

I ordered this scale as an accessory to working on a weight loss program and medication to help me be accountable for keeping the fat and muscle ratios down. It was vital to me to not lose muscle and this scale was the perfect item for that as well as many many other measures.It was exciting to find something similar to the larger more expensive Bodypedia report that is at the local gym (Crunch). This report was as accurate as the larger machine.You are also able to see the history of the report and see where your progress or decline has been.

Update: While Amazon will not honor a defective item return, I reached out to customer service at Bodypedia and they are replacing the scale. They've asked that I update my review to reflect the helpful customer service and backing of the product and based on that, I am upping my stars given.Bought this scale March 4, 2025. It is April 27, 2025 and thing no longer works as described. Yesterday the app was disconnected from the scale for no known reason, to the point that I had to sign back in and add a new scale. Also, one of the handles will not retract. It is past the return/refund window at Amazon so I am stuck with something that broke in under 2 months.

When this scale works, it provides valuable information about your body composition. The key here is, “when it works!”!First off, the app is totally unreliable. Over half the time, it fails to connect to the scale. I have tried every trick in the book, including rebooting my phone, deleting and rescanning the Bluetooth entry, and uninstalling/reinstalling the Bodypedia app from scratch. All to no avail. Sometimes it works, and other times it does not.I also found that when it does work, and my rather petite wife tries to use it, it measures her weight accurately but fails to complete the body composition measurements. It takes her several attempts to get a reading, and often she just gives up out of frustration.I should also note that I am using a Samsung Android phone. After doing a rather extensive Google search, looking for a solution to the reliability issues I have experienced, it seems that the app may operate more reliably on an Apple phone. I’m not sure if this is the case, but it’s worth considering.I have found customer service to be less than helpful. You have an option of email, or a chat bot. In both cases, it took them over a day to respond and the answers were not helpful.

This scale is incredible. I was so used to using my regular dumb scale and my smart watch to keep track of body composition and weight. This scale however is a night and day difference in comparison. It not only helps track data points, the data you gain is incredible. Not only does it calculate what your smart watch will do (BMI, Fat/Muscle weight etc) it goes to the mineral content, protein content, water content. IT TELLS YOU YOUR BODY DIAMETER SIZES...arms, waist..legs...and so far has been pretty accurate. All of this is tracked on your app. If you are fit conscious, this will help you determine if you are favoring one side over the other, if you need more water intake, or even if you need to hit cardio more than weights...lower the carbs or up the protein. I've been fascinated with this ever since I purchased it. By the way, each person can download the app and use the scale independently (ie, your spouse will not see that you fell off the wagon again). This scale is amazing and at a great price in comparison to others. one note: make sure your hands are not dry. Dry hands/feet will not conduct electricity through the handles.

Very accurate and easy to use

The scale looks great. It provides a lot of information.The measurements are not super precise: when you measure two days in a row, right after you wake up and go to the bathroom, and there's no big difference in your diet/activities, it sometimes says you gained/lost almost 1kg of fat/muscles overnight.However, the measurements do seem reliable: after a few months of diet and exercise, my fat graph is going down and my muscle graph is going up.The app could be improved -- it sometimes just won't start or won't connect to the scale, and you have to close and restart the app for it to work.Besides bugs, here are some ways the app could be improved:1) Provide a simple graph where weight, muscle, and fat are shown together (like the one Inbody provides) so that you can assess the shape of the graph (C as a bad shape and D as a great shape, etc).2) In the monthly chart, adjust the y-axis scale so that you can actually see the change. Right now, the y-axis is from 0 to just above my highest weight/PBF/SMM. Because of the big range, I can hardly see the trends with my eyes. Instead of 0, it should be a number just below my lowest weight/PBF/SMM.3) Again in the monthly chart, I'd prefer Body Fat Mass in kg/lb instead of PBF in % because BPF is not independent of muscle mass.

This scale is very accurate.I am a Personal Trainer, and I bring the scale with me to clients. We also tested the scale for accuracy next to the professional Inbody 570 (which cost $12000). The BodyPedia showed the same results as the Inbody 570 with a margin of 0.2 accuracy. Very impressive for a body composition scale with a price under $200.You can have your own profile on the app and add "friends" to it.I sometimes have connection problems between the app on my Pixel 8 Pro phone and the scale. I always eventually get the connection, but I'm not sure if it is the app, my phone, or the scale.
