Why should I use a Body Composition Monitor?
Maintaining a fit and healthy body is more than just about weight. Here are the benefits for tracking your total body composition with an Omron Full Body Sensor.
 
 
 
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat and other body composition measurements in the privacy of your own home. Within seconds, BI sends an extremely weak signal to measure the inside of your body. Muscle, blood, bone and body tissue have high water content, which means they conduct the BI signal easily. Body fat, however, stores no water, so the BI signal is blocked or impeded from easily traveling throughout the body. The blocked signal (or high impedance) indicates the presence of more body fat.
 
Product Dimensions
The HBF-510W uses (4) AA batteries that last with normal use for about a year. The main unit measures 13 x 12 x 2.2 inches (L x W x H) and weighs 4.7 pounds.

    « When the HBF-306 is not enough! »
    The Omron HBF-306 Body Fat Analyzer is a great little device for determining body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI). No, it's not as accurate as underwater weighing, but incredibly convenient for health fairs and group testing, and in office settings.

    This model, the Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale, provides the same convenience, but with the added bonus of getting an accurate weight reading. Believe it or not (well, believe it), people tend to underestimate their weight when you ask them. They are embarrassed, they don't want to say with friends standing around, they don't know, they lie... it doesn't matter. The Omron HBF-510W takes their weight, enters the weight automatically in the calculations, and spits out the body fat and BMI information.

    It stashes nicely under the desk when you don't need it, and you can use just the weight function when you need a person's weight.

    This is a great device. And when that line gets long, whip out the handheld HBF-306. These are a great pair to have in your office! And the price is right to keep on at home.

    « Low Quality - Broken Upon Second Use! »
    I bought a Model 512 from the same line from [...] in Sep. 09 to be an upgrade from my Tanika fat monitor. I was excited about the functionality.

    Unit did not work on carpet (Tanika did), so after first use I put it in a guest bathroom. Five months later I changed out fresh batteries and it just died - no weight can be registered.

    Called Omron and they wants $8 handling to process the warranty. With shipping it will cost me say $20 to service it, and it only cost me like $40 on woot.

    Extremely poor quality - stay away.

    « Composition measurements don't work for everyone »
    The scale itself is sleek and light, and easy to use. HOWEVER, it's major weakness is that the body composition measurements do not work for everyone! If you have an athletic/toned body, your fat/bmi/etc. measurements will be too low for this scale to calculate, and you'll end up with ERR 4 errors meaning that your values are out of range.

    They really should state this in the product info section... for reference, I'm at 25 year old male, 5'9, 136 lbs.

    « Very Satisfied »
    Received the product on time and in perfect condition. Easy to set up and instructions were very clear on how to use the product. I would highly recommend it to others managing their overall health. I am very pleased to be able to see body composition changes, even when weight remains stable. Very solid product.

    « Seems fine to me »
    Seems good to me. I like how it works. I'm not sure how to vouch for it's accuracy, but it seems like a good unit to me.
