How accurate are the Tanita body fat monitor scales? Every time I step on the damn thing the BF % is something different (up to 3%difference in the AM as opposed to PM). Do I have a reject or what?     | ||

I HAVE ONE, AND HAVE BEEN USEING IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE PRETTY ACCURATE. YOU JUST NEED TO MEASURE YOUR BODYFAT AT THE SAMR TIME EVERY DAY. I DO IT RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED. AND ITS BEEN WITHIN 1% EVERYDAY FOR 2 WEEKS. | ||

Man I just posted this topic.. Hhahahah Mine is accurate. I love it. Make sure your feet are clean and dry. I usually do mine after shower, dry off. I do mine naked. The manual says this is best way. As clothing may interfer. | ||

I'm not a big fan of it myself. Ithink it is ok for some people, but my BF% is pretty low (8%) and the damn thing would say anywhere from 15%-21%. ------------------ | ||

That's because of being de-hydrated in morning, by night you have had lots of water. I have found mine to be only 1% differnce in morning or night. I think some people just don't know how to read manuals. The Scale was reviewed in quite a few Muscle Mags, Fitness Mags, and were rated highly. | ||
