5 out of 5 stars Body Fat Analyzer   November 10, 2009
Jesse L. Mcgowan (Norman Oklahoma USA)
Used the Omron Body Fat Analyzer then had the calipers done at the gym. The numbers were the same. It is much easier and less time consuming than the calipers. The company this came from was prompt and would get my business again anytime.


1 out of 5 stars Inaccurate in the extreme   November 5, 2009

Never gives the same reading twice, readings vary by 2% from day to day. Worthless, and they've got some nerve for advertising it as being accurate.

Easy to program and easy to use. No memory of previous readings but holds settings from reading to reading.


5 out of 5 stars Consistent Results   July 12, 2009
Lance Umansky (Florida, USA)
When used as directed, the product has given very consistent results. The users not getting consistency are either not holding their arms outstretched in front of them to the same level each time, not using it the same time of the day each day (probably best first thing after awakening for consistency), not gripping it the same each time, just not being consistent themselves in how they use the device. I have taken back to back to back readings, all within 0.3%. The reading increases with successive readings, I believe because the terminals are becoming warm by the grip. But that is not a big deal, one reading is all you need. There is an algorithm to determine if you should be in athletic mode or normal, so whoever has said that didn't read the instructions.

Anyhow, I was actually surprised at this unit's consistency. Also, I guessed my fat level to be a certain %, and the unit gave me close to that guess (I'm a personal trainer, so I have a basis for the guess). When I didn't think I was losing body fat, the numbers stayed the same day by day. When I could tell I was losing fat, the numbers dropped. I am in the 14-15% range now, so not low yet. As such, I can not comment on how it will be at very low body fat % (others that are very lean on here have commented on inaccuracies for them). But at over 10 %, which almost all of us are, it seems to be a good tool.

If you're considering this device, get it.



5 out of 5 stars Satisfied Omron Customer. Surprised actually.   May 29, 2009
COD4 Addict (Orange County, CA)
OK so I was laughing when I bought this and really didn't think it would work. BUT to my surprise, it's fairly accurate!

I went to the gym and had them do their analysis and the results were almost identical!!!

The Omron was 1% off from what the Trainer at the gym told me.

I use this everyday now and chart it to watch my BMI and Body Fat %

I've had this thing now for more than a year and it works great.

I only wish I was loosing more BF% but that's my bad! LOL

Anyway, if you are looking to watch your BMI and Body Fat % and measure it daily or even weekly, this little Analyzer is great for keeping track.
