TIPRE Smart Scale for Body Weight 8-Electrode Digital Weight Scale for Body Fat Bathroom Scale with BMI Full Body Composition Analysis with Bluetooth Health Monitor for Weight Loss, 400lb

This TIPRE Eight Electrode Smart Body Fat Scale is as accurate as any other, with them all depending on you understanding a few important details, and making sure you input your data correctly, in the first place. First off, to clear-up some confusion I noted in one of the unfortunately very popular reviews, all scales like this do the same thing (regardless of the price tag) which is send a tiny electrical current (too tiny to feel) through your body, from one electrode to another, reading the resistance. Tissues like fat resist more flow of current, while muscle and water are good conductors and have low resistance. Scales that have multiple frequencies (this TIPRE has both high and low) can also measure the ability of cell membranes to store an electrical charge. That's all any of the eight electrode scales measure, other than your weight, of course, so don't be fooled by reviews complaining that that's all this one does. Of course, it is, (No, it's not magically sending miniature scientists into your body with calipers and chemistry sets to analyze its makeup.) and the rest of the data has to be calculated via algorithms, based on the same data, regardless of which brand of scale you use. If you have a four electrode unit without the handle, the current will go up one leg and down the other (and probably again in reverse) and since there are two electrodes under each foot, the current is probably sent up from one electrode into one leg and back to the other electrode, as another means of determining additional data for the algorithm calculations, which can be enough to tell you most of the general data, though missing the upper body, so you won't see the more specific breakdown of each leg, side of your chest, and your abdomen. To get the more detailed breakdown, you'll want a scale like this TIPRIE model that has the additional four electrodes in the handle (for a total of eight electrodes). That way the current can be sent up one leg all the way up to your shoulder and back down your arm to an electrode in the handle. Determining the path of the current is undoubtedly done by opening and closing the circuit at each electrode in a specific order to take readings up each leg and down each arm on the same side, up each leg and down the arm on the opposite side, up one leg and down the other, up one arm and down the other, up and back on the same arms, and all of those in reverse which gives you a total of ten to twelve resistance readings vs. four with the four electrode unit and then there are also the high and low frequency variations, so there might actually be a couple dozen readings being taken by an eight electrode unit vs. perhaps eight with the four electrode units. Once you have the readings, the algorithms take it from there and their accuracy will depend on you, more than you realize. Of course, consistency on your part is perhaps the most obvious need, such as same time of day, same state of food and water consumed, same attire, same posture, same dryness of feet, etc. (Feet that are either too dry or too moist can cause a bad reading.) The easiest time to be consistent is immediately after you get out of bed. You can empty yourself, disrobe and take your readings then, with minimum discrepancies in your state. You'll want to step on the scale, bend down and grab the handle, stand up tall and hold your arms straight out in front of you, with the handle around waist high or slightly higher, so your arms don't touch your sides, look forward, chin-up, and stand perfectly still for about 15 seconds. Don't look down, while the scale is taking the readings as you will change your posture and it will change your readings. Speaking of changing your readings, another way you have an effect on their accuracy is in the settings you configure in the app. Really there are only two details you might not get right. The first of those is your height. If you're a bit older, I highly recommend getting a current barefoot measurement, as you may well discover that you are a bit shorter than you thought. Though less likely, discovering you are taller is possible also, if you've gone from poor posture to more upright. Perhaps the best way to measure yourself at home is in a door opening. You back-up to one side with your heels, butt, back and back of your head against the casing, and using a tape measure, can measure down from the inner top casing to the highest point of your head, feeling with your fingers to make sure the tape is parallel to the vertical casing, and then lock the tape in place. Making note of that measurement you can then measure from the floor to the top inner casing and subtract your first measurement for a precise height. Another accurate way to measure yourself is using a square or square box on top of your head to make a mark on a vertical surface, being sure that the square object you are using is flush with both the vertical surface and your head. The app will allow you to enter your height in half inch increments, so, if you are 67.25 inches tall, for example, you will have to decide whether to round up, or down. If you want the scale to flatter you, you will want to round up, and if you want it to challenge you, you will want to round down. Although we all like to be flattered, hopefully you will round down for the challenge (while comfortably knowing you are really a bit more fit than the readings indicate). It is highly possible to be so close to a marker that the rounding could make the difference in what body type the app thinks you have. You could be "slightly chubby" and if you round up, it will think you are more fit. If you round down, it will think accurately that you are slightly chubby. Of course, your weight will be a contributing factor to that analysis, as well. Rounding up, means you can weigh a couple pounds more without being called overweight, but if you are overweight, why would you want the scale to tell you otherwise..?? Better to round down on your height, and hear the truth, that you are slightly overweight. The second and only other thing you might get wrong in the app, is not telling it you are active or exercising. Essentially, if you are, you will want to set it to "athlete" mode, or if you are barely active or exercising, you might want to try it both ways and honestly evaluate the difference when your body type is determined. Actually, the manual that comes with the unit is quite good. It's bigger and easy to read, detailed, and they must have had somebody that grew-up in the USA write it, so you won't find some of the dialog ambiguous due to language and sentence structure issues. The app is also good, for ease of use and connectivity. It binds with the scale and each time your phone is within range any new measurements you've taken will be retrieved and recorded. Each aspect calculated has a right pointing arrow you can tap to get a dialog that is specific to you, explaining the numbers and ranking and even suggesting action to take. BTW, if you are under 18, an athlete, weight training, pregnant or breastfeeding, or a weak or sedentary elderly person, don't take the BMI rating too seriously. It's a flawed number in many scenarios, as in those I just described. One more tip is to take two or three readings each morning, or each time you measure, as a failsafe. It takes less than a minute. If the first two measurements agree, there is probably no need for the third, but if they don't agree, the third reading will probably agree with one of the first two. There are ways to get a bad reading, as I've described, but also things like moving the scale, or not having used it for a while, where you are supposed to partially step on the scale to wake it up, and step off to let it shutoff again, then step on it to take your measurements. Again, if you take more than one reading, you won't get fooled. I personally prefer and recommend three back to back readings every morning, or every week, however often you want to keep track. If you are mentally resilient enough, daily measurements will keep you the most honest and on top of which way you are heading, giving you the opportunity to take immediate action while the changes needed are small. BTW, if you do take more than one reading per session, the way to get to them is to tap on "History" at the bottom of the screen in the app, where you will see the graph of your progress in each category you select. At the top right corner you will see a little calendar icon that you can tap to take you to the list of readings for whichever day you select on the calendar. You can select and delete any of the extra readings you don't need, if you like. Otherwise, the graphs will simply be based on that last reading taken each day, which more than likely will be the most accurate one, anyway. So, all said, this is an easy five star rating! It's a great value for the money with the full functionality and accuracy of any other scale of this type. P.S. The manual says to set your units of measure (kg or lb or st:lb, cm or in) in the app, which works fine and is frankly the way to do it because you'll need to do it there, anyway. (Me>Settings>Unit, then checkoff your preferences and tap Confirm) It also states that the setting can be changed right on the scale, itself, under the battery compartment door. Though unnecessary unless you aren't using the app (meaning you'll only be getting weight measurements) if you do want to change it on the scale, don't be fooled by the button appearing to be a slider. It doesn't slide. The setting will change each time you press down on the button.

I’ve been using the TIPRE Smart Scale (8-Electrode Digital) for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with both its accuracy and the level of detail it provides. This is so much more than a basic scale—it gives you a full picture of your body composition, which has been really helpful for tracking my progress beyond just weight. The 8-electrode design is a standout feature. I love that it includes a handle for upper body measurements, which makes the readings feel more comprehensive compared to traditional scales. The data syncs seamlessly with the app, and it’s easy to understand—everything from body fat percentage to muscle mass is clearly displayed and tracked over time. The scale itself feels sturdy and high-quality, and the design is sleek enough to leave out in the bathroom without it being an eyesore. Setup was quick, and connecting to my phone was effortless. What I appreciate most is how motivating it’s been. Seeing changes in multiple metrics—not just the number on the scale—keeps me encouraged and consistent with my goals. Overall, this is a fantastic investment if you’re serious about tracking your health and fitness in a more detailed way. Highly recommend!

Title: Good Smart Scale, Easy to Use Review: Nice smart scale. It is easy to use and gives quick, accurate readings. The design is simple and looks good. Happy with the purchase.

Comes with non rechargeable AA batteries. I use it almost every day. Since May 2025, writing review in Nov 2025. So long as the brand stays in business and has a functional app, you can see the history of each measurement or calculation in the app. Most of the calculations are kind of pointless math, but the technology is everything it claims to be. It’s a scale, and it can measure bioelectrical impedance from both feet and both hands. As you can see, the face of the scale also tells you details, like the bmr, etc. (yes the screen shot is a flex on how much weight I’ve lost since May.)

Soooooooo glad I bought this. Sooooo satisfied with my purchase. It's amazing. The breakdown of give of every part of your health is amazing. The app was easy to install from the QR code that comes inside the box. Be gentle with it but it works amazing. Makes things easier to keep track of and it even tells you what age your body is operating as. My numbers are great and it helps me keep it that way. Easy to store too.

Useless! The only thing this is good for is weight. lol all of the other metrics are off and change daily depending on where you hold your arms. I went for a menla scan to confirm. This scale told me i have >50% body fat and visceral fat was thought the roof. My menla scan said i was doing great!!! I felt much better after getting the menla scan. This dumb scale made me feel a though i was falling in my health journey. I would return if i could. And this one got the best reviews of all that i looked at.

I was very impressed with this scales accuracy in terms of body scanning. My gym has a very expensive scale and the reading from this scale are very close to the professional scale. I was looking for a scale that had the handle feature as it generally gives a better body fat reading since the pulses go though the entire body. Major plus is that it will sync readings to Samsung health which I was not expecting so this was a great surprise. There are plenty of other Intergrations that you can add, however I have not used any since the app is great even allowing a professional pdf style report of the body scan. For the price I paid this is a great scale with so many features that I would highly recommend anyone who is starting a fitness journey as you can see your progress with data. This was a very low priced scale with features of the more expensive ones on the market. I do wish it recorded reading on the scale for times in which I did not have my phone. Right now the display will show the results, however if collecting stats and history is your aim, you need to have the app open and near the scale for the scans to save. I do have concerns with the handle durability and the possible wear and tear on the wire being retracted so only time will tell.

I used to have an Omrom bodyscale with detachable hand bar. However, over the years, the display started to fail. I fixed it temporarily by putting some foam on the lcd connector but it still failed eventually. Now it won't even perform the body composition measurement. So now I bought this new scale. Wow this new one is really great. These scales are a lot cheaper than a decade ago when I bought the omrom. The features on it are much more advanced and measure far many more body parameters It can even tell that I'm right handed because it was able to measure more muscle mass on my right arm. The best part is that it can measure my body water percentage which I was wondering about. I would definitely recommend this product. Hopefully it will be more durable than the omrom scale.

Materiales de muy buena calidad. La app también es muy buena.

Doesnt work at all ,just gives a constant error message.Dont waste your money like I have and buy a decent brand

Very useful information but you have to ask yourself if you really want to know. Have used it for a week, every day, results are consistent. Very helpful if you have fitness goals.

Use it most days works for me but not sure how accurate some readings are
