Just got the scale 2 weeks ago and have been using it everyday since. I am an active SEASONAL cyclist (ie when weather is good... winter messes me up big time with weight gain, etc), and my son is a young elite pro athlete. A cheap scale we had reported me at 28% fat and my son at 18% fat though we set the parameters as requested. My son was professionally determined to be at 7% fat so I knew the scale was crap. After researching a variety of scales at a variety of prices I decided on the Ozeri at amazon because of the nature of the technology and seemed a good deal. The scale reports me at around 198 lbs, 20% fat, 51% hydration, 37% muscle and 5 lbs bone(!!) and I'm 52 years old and not worthy of the athlete setting in my opinion. I had my son step on it after setting the proper information and using the athlete setting for him. It reported 194 lbs, 8% fat, 51% hydration, 64 lbs muscle and 8.9 lbs bone at age 19. His numbers were more than reasonably close to the professionally determined numbers. Mine made sense including the 5 lbs bone as I'm thin boned compared to him and apparently recent studies have shown that cyclists have significantly low bone density compared to loaded sport athletes to the point it has become a concern! I had my bone density measured independently by another method and the values were very close to what this scale reported. The end result is that I've started a weight lifting program to target bone density as well as fat% and this scale will provide me with accurate trends. I trust this scale to, at the very least give me true indications of trends and be within 10% of actual values. Not too bad at all for the price I paid.

I needed a bathroom scale that tracked weight and body fat because I'm starting P90X. I chose this bathroom scale because of the good reviews it had and so far I'm happy with the product. It was easy to use the first time with regards to setting up a profile. The only problem I had was selecting the gender - perhaps the backlight does not work on mine - but it's successfully set-up now using trial and error to get a body fat percentage that I know is close to mine. I like that this product also gives information for muscles, water and bone. The weighing scale also tracks who is using the scale based on the weight; the instructions say it may not work properly if two people have similar weights but since I'm the only person who'll use it, it's not a problem for me. I've also found this weighing scale to be extremely accurate. It doesn't matter where I put it on my uneven floor, it always gives the same results! I've never had that before.

In short, I'd recommend these weighing scales, particularly if you need extra information other than just your weight.

Needing a scale I thought I would invest thirty minutes when I was near a Big Box Store and purchase one... thinking $25. But at that price I soon realized it wasn't possible to find a unit that had the precision and reliability I wanted. After comparing from home specifications and prices within a range of makes and models.... the Ozeri was chosen.
In use now for a couple of weeks I can confirm that I am impressed with the features and quality.Purchased directly from the manufacturer through the Amazon site,the shipping was professional and efficient.I also appreciate that Ozeri encouraged this review by offering a kitchen scale when doing so.I can use a good quality kitchen scale.

Initially, I was searching for a bathroom scale that had at minimum body fat measurement capabilities but when I came across the Ozeri Touch 440 on Amazon that measured not only body fat but hydration, muscle mass and bone mass I was intrigued. The glowing customer reviews and $60.00 price reduction clinched the deal.
The Ozeri Touch 440 was shipped directly to my home from Ozeri and arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. Upon removing the scale from its' packaging the first thing I noticed was that this scale had some weight itself and appeared extremely well constructed with thick tempered glass on top, brushed stainless sensor pads and a sleek thin modern look. Really, this unit looks great, much better than the pictures portrayed!
I quickly leafed through the instructions, found the profile setup part (you can set up to 8 people with their own profiles) and thought really, that easy. All you have to do is enter your gender, fitness level (normal or athletic) and age then step on the scale and the Ozeri Touch 440 does the rest. The touch 440 then displays the information on a clear, bright blue display with corresponding icons for body fat, hydration, muscle and bone mass and will even display the information for about 10 seconds after you have stepped off the scale, very slick!
So, to sum it up, a great looking product with cool technology, is easy to use and seems to be overbuilt. I gave it five stars because I just can't find fault with it!

Beautiful, sleek design, takes up very little space. However, I'm a little disappointed with the actual weighing, since the number fluctuates from one time to the next. I got on the scale ten minutes apart and there was a slight difference(no intake of food/beverage or change of clothing during this time).I did this several times, ten minutes apart, and still, there was a difference. When you're trying to lose weight, this can be hard on one's motivation.
Measures for body fat, hydration, muscle mass and bone mass will be better appreciated once I'm on a workout program with a trainer.

We were using a spring based bathroom scale for the longest time but we were getting a bit perturbed at the measurement variations - each time you stepped on and off the scale or even shifted side to side there would be a 2-3 # difference in the readings and the scale "0" setting was also (apparently) changing day to day. On noticing the high review score for this scale we decided to try it out and we couldn't be happier with the results. Reading repeatability appears to be much better - less than 1# plus/minus. Also there doesn't appear to be any variation depending on the way you are standing on the scale. The knowledge that the readings are more accurate helps in day to day weight tracking and weight loss. Haven't had a chance to try out the body fat or hydration features yet. All in all, we are very happy with this product so far.

After trying body calipers and formulas to try and calculate body fat percentage I decided to get this scale. I thought I would be disappointed at first as electrical impedance is thought of to not be very accurate. I have to say after trying this scale for a while I have noticed very accurate trends which help greatly to tell me if I need to adjust my food intake, results are very close to measuring yourself and calculating using formulas. As well the weight is very accurate (within a pound to the tanita scale at the gym), and helps me greatly in determining if I am succeeding in my goals. Not only I love this scale but the whole family does, the 8 person profile is a nice touch and if your weight is close to someone else it will ask which profile you want to use. I highly recommend checking out this scale as you will not be disappointed at all, it is a very good buy for the money.

I was in the market for a scale. I have lost 40 pounds and it is important for me to make sure the weight doesn't creep back slowly. I tried several scales (in the stores) and each one was off the mark. I don't mean by a pound or two...some were as much as 10 pounds heavier or lighter. (I'll take the lighter, thank you)
After reading all of the reviews about the Ozeri, I decided to cross my fingers and order it.
It is great.
The read out is clear. And it is pretty darned accurate. I weighed myself at the gym (they have a doctor's scale) and the Ozeri is only 1 pound off. I think that is pretty good. And it is consistent. So, I can trust it.

I only got it for the accuracy, I don't care too much about all the other features. But it is fun to check it from time to time. Whether that is accurate or not, I don't know as I have nothing to compare it too.

I would encourage you to buy it.

Now, back to the gym.....

I am writing this review after a few days of owning the product. I have been looking for something to use along with my fitbit to track my fat and muscle percentage. Given the excellent reviews that this product has on both the Canadian (50 reviews with an average of 5 stars) and US amazon (205 reviews with a 4 star average) sites at the time of writing and the very reasonable price, I thought that I'd give it a go. So far I have not been disappointed and the favorable reviews seem to be well deserved.

Delivery: The item was Delivered within a few days, much earlier than the estimate provided by amazon. It was well packaged and seller kept me informed as to the progress of my order (overall the customer service was excellent so far).

Appearance: Design is very stylish. Many of the body fat scales that I have seen have not only been twice the price of this, but they have looked less than half as nice. They tend to look cheap. The LCD display and lights are very attractive with the black body, with a nice blue glow. The scale is quite slim and it feels like a well made product in the hands. It is very easy to store it under my shelving unit in the bathroom.

Setup & Manual: The Setup and manual are incredibly easy and fast to follow and having smart user profiles is a nice touch. The manual has some nice information in terms of guidelines for healthy measurements.

Use & Performance: I have used it once or twice a day and compared the results to one of the precise slide scale type scales that they have in my gym. The accuracy of this scale seems pretty much spot on. The fat, muscle and water measurements are exactly what I was looking for as BMI is notoriously unreliable. I have a higher than average muscle mass for my height and many scales that use the BMI scale always reports me as being hugely overweight. With this you can really get a better feel for your fat burn and muscle build changes. The scale seems to be much more accurate than my previous scales (one was a body fat analyzer one from a big brand and another a a cheap dial style). This one appears to have much less variation and be more consistent. The process of collecting the composition information is relatively fast (just a few seconds). There is also a nice amount of time for which the results are displayed allowing you to step off and record them.

Conclusion: So far it has been much better than my previous scales (one of which was much more expensive). Excellent value for money. Good reviews all seem well deserved. I would highly recommend.

I purchased the Ozeri Touch Digital Bath Scale 3 weeks ago from Amazon, and these scales are truly impressive. Deadly accurate. I weigh my self at the gym every other day and these scales are dead on. My husband and I both have our own separate profiles set up and he loves the way they work and look. Thin and not bulky, sturdy and durable. I'm buying two more as gifts for family.I'd highly recommend these scales.
