Sanitas SBF 48 USB diagnostic scale, glass-silver (Personal Care)

Customer Review

This diagnostic scale Sanitas is a balance, in addition to the body weight even to measure the fat, water and muscle percentage in the body.

These two functions must be considered separately for an evaluation of the scale:

1) Pure weight measurement

The weight it measures very reliable and accurate when one considers that the balance can only be used on even, firm ground (carpeting is not because it is the cradle of results are highly inaccurate).
The balance has a very easy to read, very large display. By briefly tapping her foot she turns on when you're done with the weighing, the balance of its own switches off again. The measured value is then automatically saved.

2) Body fat, muscle and body water analysis

This analysis is performed by passing current from one foot to another. Then the values ​​are calculated from the different conductivity of water, fat and muscle mass.
Big downside is that only the values ​​are hüftabwärts measured, that is, the analysis is based on only one measurement of the legs, which is then extrapolated to the rest of the body.
This is of course very, very inaccurate.
Does anyone, for example rather high levels of fat in the legs, but in the upper body very muscular and without many Fettdepos, the balance will show him still, he had little muscle mass and a very high fat content.
The other way around someone gets rather thin, long legs but a very big belly super displayed values ​​oth the fat content and with respect to his entire body might be too high.

Remedy against such inaccurate measurements creates a balance with handles (there are already as everyday personal scale), since the power line is measured by the upper body.

CONCLUSION: This balance can only be estimated averages are calculated, which are very, very inaccurate and not necessarily correspond to the actual physique.

CAUTION:
The balance may (due to the power line) by persons with medical implants (eg pacemakers) are used.
Pregnant women should not use this scale.

Quality and processing:
High makes the scale a very high quality and well-made impression that is reinforced by 3-year warranty provision by the manufacturer.
The scale looks very classy and beautiful, and can be easily and super clean thanks to the smooth surface.

CONCLUSION:
For pure body weight measurement on hard ground, the balance is very good.
If one wants to measure his body fat and muscle proportions, one should rather establish a balance with additional handles. Otherwise, you get only the extrapolated values ​​of the legs to the upper body.
