Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan Body Composition Monitor
| Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan Body Composition Monitor |
With the Tanita BC533 up to four unique users can benefit. Simply supply your gender, age, height and weight into the memory, step on the scale, and the monitor does the rest. The results are analyzed according to each user's information, and the result -- displayed in the monitor's 2.25-inch LCD screen -- is the one of the most comprehensive at-home readings you can get. This monitor, which is about the same size as a typical bathroom scale, is ideal for anyone who is serious about monitoring their health and fitness. Knowing your body fat percentage -- the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight -- is essential if you want to create a diet and exercise plan that helps reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Body water percentage is the total amount of fluid in your body expressed as a percentage of your total weight. Maintaining a healthy body water percentage ensures that your body functions efficiently. The metabolic age level is related to your body's metabolic rate and helps you maintain the daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when resting or sleeping to function effectively. Even though your total body weight might not change drastically over time, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing. Keeping tabs on them can help you stay at a lower risk of certain diseases. And knowing your levels of visceral fat -- the fat in the abdominal cavity and surrounding the vital organs -- can help you keep heart disease and high blood pressure at bay, and may delay the onset of type two diabetes. In short, this monitor gives you essential information and greater control as you work to stay healthy and live a more active, vital life. Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BC533 is intended for use by persons up to 330 pounds and is backed by Tanita's 10-year warranty. Note: Pregnant women should not use this monitor, and if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device, you should not use the body fat reading feature. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Well worth the money!This is a great scale. Excellent for tracking progress. Well worth the money! Rating: - This Scale is an asset over years to monitor your health status.I purchased this scale in 2006 prior to surgery that was going to screw titanium screws into my pelvis. Since my investigation of the failure rate on this operation depended on a healthy bone mass, so the threads would not strip and fail, I wanted to have a confidence level regarding my bone mass. Since this scale gave me a normal rating for my bone mass, its information was worth the price of the scale just for my peace of mind. Making an adjustment each year for my age, and following a healthy life style regarding diet and exercise, this scale has done a consistent measure of all the factors the scale provides. It's results have been verified by a "Life Line Screening" Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Osteoporosis test recently and by the success of the 2006 operation. Because of the consistency of results for over three years now, and verification by related medical authority, I consider this scale to be an excellent addition to my own yearly health monitoring. Rating:  - Cool but Not Durable - Not worth 100+ bucksWe purchsed this item about 18 months ago and while we did like the features and look of the product, the durability was a dissapointment. After about a year, the product stopped working intermittently. We tried changing batteries and all that stuff but it would still just stop working for days at a time and come back to life without any rhyme or reason. After going through that for about 6 months (I'm a very patient person) I finally had enough and launched it today. For 100+ bucks I expect more, and would not purchase this product again. Rating:  - Too complicated for computer-literate 60+ seniorInstructions are confusing, complicated & come in 2-pamplets (with many languages)so user must use both pamplets to determine how it works. I returned it & will purchase a simplier model with weight & fat % options. Perhaps product is more suitable to a techie, athletic type person. Rating: - Great healthy lifestyle toolI recently began using the Tanita body monitor. It provides a comprehensive set of parameters which help me gauge the progress I'm making in managing my health. Rather than simply telling me my weight, it gives me much more insight into the composition of my weight- bpdy fat %, water weight, body age, etc. I now have a much clearer picture of the results of my diet and exercise. I highly recommend it.
