Buy one - you won't regret it. Review by Dr. Whe Warrilow

I have used an older model for about 5 years with high levels of satisfaction. However, I always wondered about what my torso/trunk bodyfat levels were like, and the only other option was a handheld bodyfat analyzer or the very expensive Bodystat system. I got this scale for Xmas, and have been delighted with it. On the downside, it is very light and feels less substantial/robust than our old scale. That is my only criticism; otherwise it is quick, gives very detailed information about bodyfat/muscle mass per limb/ estimated calorie requirement / bone mass and physique type (skinny and undermuscled all the way to low bodyfat and muscular). I find it enormously motivating to hop onto this each morning and know whether or not I can eat "ad lbitum" or lightly, as measured against my desired body composition. A brilliant fitness tool for keeping you alert to desirable and undesirable trends. buy one - you won't regret it. (Posted on 30/07/2010)

This is absolutely amazing! Review by Jack Hobartson

This is absolutely amazing! And if you read my other reviews you'll see I'm not easily impressed. This machine doesn't just tell you your weight or body fat percentage. It analyses those readings in different parts of your body. It tells you your body water percentage, visceral fat rating (useful for general health indication) basal metabolism telling you what age you are metabolically, muscle mass, physique rating, and plots that information in graph form over days, months and even years. And lots more too!

It looks and feels very good quality too and is made in Japan - definitely a good sign. I really can't get over how amazing this machine is, so I'll just say it again: It's amazing!

NB. You must use it on a hard surface, not on a carpet. (Posted on 30/07/2010)

Nearly 50% of men are medically 'overweight' and an additional 17% are 'obese'. This new body composition monitor measures body fat in specific areas, and its retractable hand-grips means it can be used to measure those awkward places. (Posted on 30/07/2010)

Suited to serious exercisers and body builders. Review by Daily Mail

Gives so much information and a more accurate indication of fat stored on the trunk. Picked up that user was right-handed, as she had lower body fat on this side. She also told me she had an injury to her left knee, which was reflected in higher body fat on that side. Suited to serious exercisers and body builders. Consistent and accurate.
