Easy to use and operate
A great motivator. If you hit a plateau , and not losing weight, you can see that you are gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat, so it keeps you working towards your personal goal. It takes a few practise runs, to get the hang of it. Well worth the money, and after shopping around, Wal-Mart had the best price of them all, by a country mile.
I use this in my chiropractic practice mainly because I want my patients to know what their body fat is and how much they are above or below the recommended norms. This monitor is so easy to use, and the information is right there on the screen for patients to see. They love it and I love the ease of use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
The only thing I think should be added is body water % reading and it would be perfect for home use. Like all calibrated electronics you can't drop it or jump on it, so keep your kids off it.
i have two clinics , each one had that professional scale for more than 2 years , i never complain from any of them along all the past periode till now . really i love them more than any other equipments in my beloved clinics . really you are so good omron . thank you [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I bought this for my personal training studio. It is easy to use and although bioimpedence isn't the most accurate measure of body fat, it is a good comparison tool. I like that it is very lightweight, portable and Omron seems to have a good reputation, which this product lives up to.
I broke the line in obese class 2 and decided i needed to make a permanent change. After I lost the first 25 pounds I bought the HBF516B and it really motivated me to keep at it. I could see the muscle staying on as the body fat came off, visceral fat at ~14% was a bit scary. But: Just when I reached a "normal" BMI of 25, the error 4 kept happening due both to >45% muscle and < 5% body fat - despite visceral fat at ~9%. My big goal was to be able to measure losing the visceral fat. The scale took me to "just normal" but 3 months after I bought it, lost its ability to help me go farther. I've lost 75 pounds, losing 10 of them after the "Err 4" started. I'd really like to know how much visceral fat is left. (2" less in the belly losing the last 10, but am I done?)

My wife bought me this a few days ago. It seems pretty accurate. My only complaint is the memory or lack of daily recordings. While the instructions are vague it initially seems the scale would record daily readings. Mine does not. So if you want to track daily you better write the readings down because it's hit or miss if it will record. It definitely did not record any of my readings from this morning. My numbers this morning SHOULD be the low for each stat but all the memory stats show lows from two days ago. So I guess as long as you write everything down it's pretty good. For the price, I'm not certain it's worth it. Perhaps providing better instructions and or description on specifically what it will and will not do would help people make a better decision and not be disappointed to find out after the fact.
I exercise every day by lifting weights and doing cardio. When I measure my BF percentage in the Athlete mode on the old Omron HBF-306. My BF is 18.5%... This new device says I'm 28%!! That's a huge difference. Not sure why Omron didn't include the athlete mode in this fancy model. Disappointed.
I started out @ 155 and 44.7% skeletal muscle, 6.7% body fat, and Visceral fat of 4. I did some weight training etc ate a lot more and gained weight to ~160 lbs all in about 6 days. Now I am getting err 4. Either I went over 50% limit for muscle, under 5% for body fat or under 1 for visceral fat. It shows error 4 for all the values not just the 1 that is out of range. I cant even know what happened. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
