Product Description
Love the look of glass? Now you can get that clean and elegant look in a glass body fat scale as well. Taylor Precision Products, the leader in the bathroom scale category, features innovation in a body fat scale. Rather than the metal look of most body fat scales, this item features "invisible" body fat electrodes to keep the glass appearance uncluttered. The innovation doesn't stop there....the scale also has many high tech features: it measures body fat and body water to the precise 0.1% using bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA), weight to 400 lbs by 0.2 lb increments, meaures in normal or athlete mode (for those who work out more than 10 hours per week) and measures bone mass and muscle mass. Bone mass estimates the weight of the bones in your body, whereas the muscle mass estimates the weight of all your skeletal muscles in the body. Both of these measurements allow the user to get an overall picture of health for their body. A simple scale only mode (just step on), large 2 line digital display and 10 memories complete the features of this scale. The scale runs on lithium batteries, which are included. All this and a lifetime warranty.

 Great Features, OK Accuracy September 22, 2008
This scale includes the features we're most interested in: weight; muscle mass, body fat and body water %. We had to return the first one we bought since it had some marks from manufacturing on the digital readout panel - Amazon very promptly relaced it. It is important to moisten your feet before using it; otherwise the readouts are not accurate beyond basic weight measurement.
Taylor needs to sync up their marketing and product information with their current products. Their website doesn't organize their scales by features nor do they offer comparison tables or other helpful information. So, it was only by digging that we were able to find out which scale to choose.
At the end of the day, this Taylor 5598 is a good product with really nice features.

This thing works perfectly. I created a very nice spread sheet to track progress graphically and what an incentive builder to see those lines move down.
My only complaint is the time alloted to review information is not much when you're trying to record it.
It is extremly important to have damp feet when you use it. The contact pads require water to make very minute electrical measurements.
I always measure myself immediatly after getting out of the shower and drying off. This way your feet have been soaking in water for a few mintues and are fairly moist. I'll try to make a video to show it's use.
 Not sure product works yet! January 29, 2008

The scale has been hard to calibrate and we are still not sure whether it is actually working or not. May have to seen it back. Hard to figure out!
 Bad for body fat January 2, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was a very disappointing purchase. I bought this scale to be able to measure and track body fat. Two out of 3 users can not receive any body fat numbers - it just displays an error. The third user gets a body fat number but it is obviously incorrect. It displays over 50% body fat...this is rated as an obese person...yet this person is fairly thin. I would not recommend purchase of this scale.
Very good scale September 24, 2007

Nice looking and easy to operate! The LCD screen is large enough to read easily and the measurement is very accurate based on my experience!
