Simple, easy to use and consistent... so far
By Bret
This product was a bit review-light when I bought it, and I chose it largely because Soehnle came out well on other reviews and no-one had yet said anything bad about it! I wanted something that would be accurate and reliable without paying for extras like a remote display or wi-fi connectivity. I am commenting after using it for a few weeks, so I have no views on long-term issues.It is very simple and intuitive to use, and should be fine for any bathroom where no more than 8 people are obsessed about their weight. The display isn't huge but it isn't tiny either and the figures are good and black. I can just about read it at a squint without my glasses in reasonable light, and very easily with my glasses on. If you step off the moment weight comes up, the display stays on long enough to stoop down and read it but the fat measurement screen won't come up. If you step off once the fat measurement has come up it will go on scrolling through the remaining 4 screens at normal speed before switching off. It only scrolls though the 6 screens once per weighing so you need a reasonable memory for figures or a handy pencil. However, if you repeat the measurement straight away you generally get the same figures, or very near them (see below).Repeated measurements show very slight deviations in weight (a couple of tenths of a pound) and slight deviations around fat %, water %, and muscle %. But they ARE slight. You get a very good idea of the measured percentages to the nearest half per cent (of body weight) for fat, one percent for water and muscle. However, accuracy is more questionable. Weight seems fine as far as I can judge, but body fat does vary puzzlingly over a week or so, and I susopect the differences are more about hydration than fat. The hydration rating itself seems a bit low for me, and I think the muscle mass rating is useless - it varies the most of the lot (several percent of body weight over a few days). Daily Calorie requirement often comes up low first time but if I then step back on the scales a couple of minutes later it goes up to a figure I would expect, and then stays with that for further repeat weighings.A solid floor is really essential, and I think the very slight weight deviations were due to small changes in positioning. I can't get any sort of reading on a reasonably thick carpet.Although the booklet suggests that taking a bath can change readings noticeably, it doesn't seem to make much difference when I do so.Despite its much-vaunted and genuine thinnness, the plate is a little bit bigger than bathroom scales I am used to - about 35 cm wide and 34 cm deep - so it may not fit into the usual alcove.I liked being able to chose between kilogrammes, pounds, and stones and pounds, but the button that makes the changes is a fiddly one on the back, so it would probably help if all 8 users went to school in the same country and decade. Pound measurements are precise to 0.2 of a pound.The blurb claims that the sixth screen makes "detailed action requirements", but as there are only 4 symbols which mean things like, "drink more", and "change your diet", I think that is stretching the notion of "detailed" too far. This is a tiny quibble. One thing that would have been more useful on the 6th screen is a BMI measurement.I'm obviously wondering how accurate this is in scientific terms, about long-term consistency, reliability in general, and also battery consumption (since it uses Lithium button batteries when other units take AAs) but so far, very good.

Perfect

Perfect quality for a great price. Works fine, not troubles at all. Comparing to another one Soehle (different model) battery usage just amazing. Recommend for everyone who spends some time at gym :)
