Summary: Works as advertised, but questionable durability
Comment: If you're looking to purchase the Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan Body Composition Monitor you're probably someone who takes fitness seriously, or you're trying to make an effort to take it seriously. My wife and I purchased this scale 3 years ago to help us with our New Year's resolutions - that should tell you which group we fit into. :)

By now, you've probably read all the specs, so I won't tell you what you already know. But it is important to know how well it works. Shortly after making the purchase I went to a local facility and had hydrostatic body fat testing. The results were very close to what the Tanita had indicated - within 1%. This was perfect confirmation that the scale was well worth the high price tag.

*** TIP *** At times the Tanita would give us inconsistent results. After some time and deduction my wife and I concluded that it was much more accurate just after getting out of the shower. As if the moisture in our feet somehow facilitated the measurement. I don't purport to have any scientific evidence to support this, but I can tell you, without question, it was far more accurate that stepping on with dry feet.

The only downside, albeit a HUGE one, was the durability of the unit. About a year after we purchased it, it became very unstable. It would only power on half of the time. We'd replace the batteries and it still would not work. Eventually I noticed that the battery contacts were rusting. A little cleaning worked temporarily, but after time they completely corroded, rendering the scale lifeless. For the price, I would expect that this scale would have better protection against the moisture that is common in any household bathroom.

CONCLUSION: Buy the scale, but don't keep it in the bathroom.

Summary: Starts out Good
Comment: This product appeared to be a solid, after a year of use the scale never changes my body fat. I work out daily, step class, spinning class, kettle bell classes, my Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan Body Composition Monitor read "never changes remains 35%,not accurate,I have had myself evalated at a gym because this scale is not on target after so many uses.
I would skip this item and spend the $5.00 at a gym for an accurate read.
For an active person who is 150 pounds and 5'8 , no way the scale should indicate 35% body fat.

Summary: I'm HOW FAT?
Comment: If you're brave enough to confront your body composition vitals on a regular basis then this is the scale for you. Easy operation, multiple users (including a guest function), and tons of actionable data about your body composition make this unit a must have for anyone wanting to track fitness goals. I've had the scale 2 years now and looks new and works great!

Summary: Tanita scale
Comment: Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan body composition monitor is a wonderful product. It not only gives your weight, but tells you visceral fat % and much more. Very important for those who are diabetic.
