There is more to healthy dieting than weight loss alone. Body fat percentage measurements are also important indicators of good health. View larger.

this monitor analyzes a full range of body measurements, including weight, body fat percentage, body water percentage, metabolic age, physique rating, visceral fat, muscle mass, and bone mass. It's a mouthful of measurements, but what it means is that with the Tanita BC533, you now have the unprecedented ability to monitor your body and the effects of your diet and fitness routines, comfortably and affordably in the convenience of your own home.

With the Tanita BC533 up to four unique users can benefit. Simply supply your gender, age, height and weight into the memory, step on the scale, and the monitor does the rest. The results are analyzed according to each user's information, and the result -- displayed in the monitor's 2.25-inch LCD screen -- is the one of the most comprehensive at-home readings you can get.

This monitor, which is about the same size as a typical bathroom scale, is ideal for anyone who is serious about monitoring their health and fitness. Knowing your body fat percentage -- the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight -- is essential if you want to create a diet and exercise plan that helps reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Body water percentage is the total amount of fluid in your body expressed as a percentage of your total weight. Maintaining a healthy body water percentage ensures that your body functions efficiently. The metabolic age level is related to your body's metabolic rate and helps you maintain the daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when resting or sleeping to function effectively. Even though your total body weight might not change drastically over time, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing. Keeping tabs on them can help you stay at a lower risk of certain diseases. And knowing your levels of visceral fat -- the fat in the abdominal cavity and surrounding the vital organs -- can help you keep heart disease and high blood pressure at bay, and may delay the onset of type two diabetes. In short, this monitor gives you essential information and greater control as you work to stay healthy and live a more active, vital life.

Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BC533 is intended for use by persons up to 330 pounds and is backed by Tanita's 10-year warranty.

Note: Pregnant women should not use this monitor, and if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device, you should not use the body fat reading feature.

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

pleased:

I checked this machine against two very exprnsine machines and it came within close range of them. Great for keeping track so you can stay on track.

Very Accurate and Reliable:

I purchased this scale in May and have been extremely satisfied. My old scale could be 2 or 3 pounds different within seconds of getting on and off. This one is EXACTLY the same (as one would expect for weighing twice in a couple of seconds).
At this price, it seems to be a durable scale and is fairly easy to set up if you read the instructions. It also gives great information about how it measures bone mass, fat %, etc.
If you have to weigh every day and it needs to be accurate, then this would... more info

Scale:

The digital scale is vert accurate, the fat composition is a bit off, there is about 4% range, good enough for it's price.

Great scale!:

Very good scale...all the information you'd like to know for fitness and workout results. Easy to use, accurate and stylish. Of course, it helps to see fat and weight melting away...but this unit gives you the whole story, not just a simple weight measurement.
