TANITA BC-730 Smart Scales for Body Weight and Fat – Digital Bathroom Scales, Body Fat Scales with LCD Display, Compact Weight Scale, Green

If you buy this, you may open up the box and think you're being shortchanged. Reason for this is that it's very small and one would perhaps expect something more substantial. Don't let this put you off though! My previous Tanita scales I thought performed wonderfully but the main issue for me is my bathroom tiles aren't huge so the feet of those scales had to rest on more than one tile. This wouldn't be a problem if the tiles were 100% level but this isn't always the case and certainly not with mine. Don't get me wrong, the tiles look fantastic but there's always some very slight deviation. This means that when the scales were moved, I'd weigh a bit more or a bit less. Odd that because just shifting the scales with my foot shouldn't really burn calories or make me put on muscle that quickly!! The deviation could be up to 0.6lbs so to makes things more consistent, I made a couple of light marks on the tiles so that the scales were in the same place (or thereabouts) each time. Still though, any tiny deviation from this would give me a different reading. This is where these scales 'step in'. They are small enough to sit on a single tile in my bathroom. Also it doesn't seem to matter which tile they're on - i get very consistent results each time. A fantastic feature is that you can set presets and based on those, the scales will recognise who you are - up to 5 person memory which is absolutely fantastic and great for all the family. It means you don't have to press any of the buttons with your toe - just stand on them with your heels on the bottom pads and it will automagically know who you are - you may not think this is useful but the scales use calculations based on your height, age and weight to calculate. Don't worry about your toes hanging over the front - this is not important and quite normal unless you have extremely tiny feet or are a child. There are a plethora of results that the scales give you; body water, body fat etc and the only problem I have with these scales is that the reading, even at my short height, hard to read so you have to step off the scales to get a closer look. To be honest, I use them mainly to just check my weight but occasionally take a closer look to see where I am in terms of body fat. The readings it gives are accurate enough but do not rely on them as definitive figures as they are, in my view, mainly an indication of progress. Excellent set of scales. I don't think you'll be disappointed for the price. If i had to buy another set of scales, as long as these last, I'd buy the same again. Tanita have been in the weighing game for a very long time and know what they're doing. Sure there may be the odd lemon out there but I tend to go with this brand with other household scales. Another drawback is that they're so quick to register your weight, it's tempting to step on them every time you visit the bathroom but that's more of an obsession of mine than a problem with the scales!! You get to realise though what kind of thing shift your weight up such as eating a starchy meal and drinking a lot of fluid increasing your weight due to water retention. Very happy with them :)

Best scale have ever seen so good. Thank you Japanese engineers:)

Perfect compact scales. Very easy to set up and use. They are very practical stylish and easily stored. The are a lot smaller than our original Tanita scales which we had for over 20 years but are a great improvement. (Note your toes will hang over the edge of the scales but this does not impede the measurements or accuracy ) They are very lightweight and can be easily taken on holiday

These are great for ONE PERSON. But if you have multiple people using them it is difficult to select the correct user when you step on the scales. I am user #1 and they work perfect for me every time, but for my brother, user #3, we cannot work out how to make the scales understand that it is him standing on the scales. He must be similar enough weight to user #4 that the scales get them confused. The readings are then wildly inaccurate because of the 5foot vs 6foot height difference and the 30 year age gap between users #3 + #4. His size 10 feet are also too long and dangle off the end of the scales (which apparently is fine according to the instructions). I wanted to buy these because I loved that they DON’T connect to your phone via an app, but the 4 buttons on the scales make no sense, even after a family argument with the instruction manual. My brother now refuses to use them, but they work fine for my dad and I.

Perfect for those running a nutrition club

Excellent bit of kit to keep track of weight and BMI. Not just a weighing scale, it's a sophisticated aid to wellbeing.

So inaccurate gives totally false body fat readings ended up losing to much weight to lower the readings turns out they’re just poor quality and very off your actual weight.

Super

Compact and light weight. Accurate and consistent weight measurement. I'm happy I bought these. Love the colour too. It took me a while to work out how to set up profiles for users. You have to input your information and then weigh yourself to save the data. It only has memory going back to your last weigh-in . Reading the body scan results is not easy as they flash through and then disappear if you're not quick to stop them.

Great using everyday

Fick den efter 4 dagar, fungerar utmärkt. Dock skulle jag helst se en bruksanvisning på Svenska, Då skulle det vara lättare att förstå och komma igång.

Good love it
