Easy to use not sure about accuracy  
I got this mainly for my teenage son who has been trying out bodybuilding this summer. Weve had a Tanita scale for years. My wife and I can get consistent results from the Tanita scale but our son was having difficulty with consistency. We got this product because we had seen positive reviews.

First off its pretty easy to use. Plug in the required data start the reading session hold the device straight in front (stiff arm and steady) and voila! youve got a reading pretty quickly.

Everyone in our family that has used the device gets consistent results as long as conditions are consistent as well: same time of day same type of clothing same hydration/feeding condition etc. If any of these conditions differ you can expect varying results.

Comparing the Tanita scale and the Omron handheld device both require that you enter your height sex and fitness level. The fitness level is limited to normal and athlete. The Omron device requires you to ent : 2010-09-15 04:23:28

Seems pretty consistent (if I am)  
I honestly dont know how accurate this item is but its consistent. If I follow the same personal patterns before testing I get consistent results. Im talking about some of the advice given by other satisfied users in earlier reviews.

-Measure same time of day
-Do it two or more hours after any food
-Properly hydrated but empty bladder.

Ive been testing weekly before lunch which also keeps me consistent on weighing time.

Again I dont know if its accurate or not as I have used no other method to measure my body fat but its doing what I need. Namely its showing that despite not losing a single pound over a week of exercising weight training and carefully controlled diet my body fat percentage is reducing.

If I didnt have this I would certainly be discouraged right now looking at the scale alone. (I also recommend a tape measure and regular measurements... its all important). : 2010-09-15 04:23:28

Still just a science project.  
This product isnt as accurate as it claims itself to be. Sure itll get you somewhat close to your actual body-fat percentage but it doesnt give those results consistently enough and only raises my skepticism. Between one moment and the next you could see a difference of 1-4% in the readings. Ive done very well to follow all of the directions both in the manual and in a comment left by someone in the review section here on Amazon. My suggestion is to spend the money towards a pair of calipers and take time learning how to use them properly. If you dont mind your readings being off slightly (or massively depending on the time of day) then you can do with the Omron HBF-360C... Otherwise it really isnt worth your time. Its still just a science project with lots of experimenting and refining to do. : 2010-09-15 04:23:28
