bought at sports academy. i wieghed 242 Ibs. when i started my body fat was 24.6 lost 52Ibs and now my body fat is 22.0 %. and i have cut abs. and bfi has stayed near the same the whole time. the novelty toy goes off a national average of height and weight. you set at the front and just spits out numbers like a cheap caculator. if i put in there my weight is 130Ibs. it gives you a 11% body fat. junk

 Not very accurate May 4, 2010

I purchased this item last year to aid in my weight loss goals. Of course, I wasn't pleased with the readout I was getting since I was overweight. I recently got serious about losing weight and have lost 23 lbs. I only have 10 more pounds to go. The Omron tells me that my body fat is the same as when I started. In fact, some of the readings I get are higher than when I started. I have followed the directions to a tee and am still getting different readings every time I use it. In addition, my BMI has remained unchanged. I think the Omron is easy to use and is somewhat accurate, but obviously not as accurate as I had hoped. I think the only way to get a real idea of your body fat and BMI is at the doctor's office or at a gym where they have a water tank.

I was so excited to get this fat analyzer thinking that it would give me accurate information for me and my body size. I input the data regarding my height, weight and age just as it asked, I held on to the handles and it gave me a reading. I agreed with the reading because I know just about where my BMI is for my size. Then I decided to input my ideal height, weight and age as guest #9, just for grins and giggles. So I put these figures in and held on to the handles. I was thinking that it would error out, or something, because surely the "electrical current" would find me out to be a liar. It didn't. It gave me an ideal BMI and body fat percentage for the data I inputted. This machine is nothing more than a calculator. Don't waste your money. I saw a BMI/fat analyzer at my local grocery store for $7.99. I bet it's the same thing as this one, only without handles.

The key to getting consistent results with this device is to measure under the same hydration conditions. My suggestion: wake up, urinate, and then weigh and body fat analyze yourself using this device. While it's true that this is your most dehydrated state of the day (thus resulting in your lowest possible body fat percentage) at least this way you can track your progress consistently. My body fat percentage goes up like 3% after I've rehydrated myself in the morning (I drink a lot of water).
While I can't testify to its exact accuracy, it definitely gets the trend correct. As I've lost fat (as measured by looking in the mirror, weighing myself and strength gains/maintenance in the gym during weight lifting), the analyzer shows a decrease in % body fat. The device also picked up periods when I've lost muscle (as measured by loss of strength in the gym during weight lifting). It feels pretty accurate at picking up small real changes.
I have a set of calipers, and I find them to be kinda useless because I'm not trained in using them and you can only reach some sites of measurement. The Omron device is much more useful to me than the calipers.
