Editorial Review
Proper hydration is essential for life. Maintaining a healthy body water % improves overall health and keeps you feeling energized and operating at peak performance. Tanitas new Scale plus Body Fat monitors with Body Water % calculate body water levels using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA), the same highly accurate method used in all our body fat monitoring products. BIA monitors body water % by sending a safe, low-level electrical signal through the body. Our body water scales are the first of their kind available for in-home use.

Very consistent readings 
2008-09-03
The scale gives very consistent readings and allows for monitoring tendencies. A small drawback is that only the last reading per day is kept in memory.
Be wary about using your Tanita in a bathroom.

Be wary of Tanita and their warranty claims. The product itself was decent, and fairly accurate, however Tanita is not a company that prides itself in customer service and product support. I used my scale in a normal bathroom environment, and after just 3 months you could see evaporation underneath the screen. I don't know if a gasket had a crack in it, or what the issue might have been, but the unit couldn't withstand the normal humidity of a bathroom. In fact, the unit was a good 20 feet from any active water, like a shower and tub.
I shipped the unit in, and without even so much as a courtesy call, the "customer service manager" returned my unit with a note that my warranty claim was refused, even though I had spoken to someone before about the issue, and said it would be replaced no problem. The customer service manager was nice enough, but said that even though it was well within the boundaries of his discretion, he was going to refuse the claim, because they refuse all like claims regarding evaporation. He even admitted that it happens fairly often.
Stay away.
His recommendation? Buy another Tanita, and not place it in the bathroom. Right.
Tanita review 
2007-12-11
I liked the product, very user friendly and accurate, the only thing is that it doesnt have a setting that some monitors have, for three levels of your typical activity, sedentary, moderate, very active, which makes a difference on the fat reading. While the fat reading might not be entirely accurate, I had 3 friends who were of different visibly fat levels, fat, average, very fit and the machine showed corresponding fat levels, so the bottom line is when you do go down in fat, the machine's fat reading goes down too, which is important.
Easy to set up easy to use 2007-06-14
this product does exactly what it says it will do. it is simple to set up, simplet to program for each user, and gives easily trackable recordable information. i would recommend it as a good value for the money.
