Product description
The TANITA BC-401 is a compact and highly accurate body composition scale, perfect for use with the whole family. For example, the scale remembers the data of up to 5 people and for children (between the ages of 5 and 17) it only measures what is really relevant, namely the weight, BMI and fat percentage. This way everyone gets insight into their own body composition and works together towards their own health goal.
The BC-401 also measures your metabolic age. A unique measurement that only the body composition scales of TANITA perform. This measurement calculates your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) and then compares it to the average of your age group. Is your metabolic age lower than your actual age? Then you are on the right track. If it's higher, then there's work to be done.
Using the MyTANITA App, all the results of a measurement are sent directly to your smartphone or tablet. The insights gathered over time will motivate you to reach those long-term goals!
The product is very good at providing reliable data each time it’s used, I’ve found it very interesting to use it at various points of the day to tract things like water retention and fat. I used the product daily for my bulk cycle at the gym and it has really helped me track my progress. The app is really well layed out and easy to use too! Especially having multiple accounts so more than one person can save data.

An accurate and easy scale for tracking health and weight loss
Rating
100%
The Tanita smart scale is easy to use, accurate and gives me a very in depth insight into my body measurements making my weight loss journey easier to track. When I first opened the scale and set it up, for the first few uses, it didn’t connect to the app very easily and it took a few attempts to get it to easily connect however after this, using the scale has become easier and connects to the app very well. The scale itself is compact, easy to store and looks modern. I love that the scale has the option to add other user profiles meaning that multiple people can use the scale while keeping their data separate. I personally like the features of the scale being able to track body fat and body type as it shows how I am changing as I exercise more. The metabolic age feature is interesting to have as it shows me where I can improve and gives me more understanding of how my weight and health is impacting my body. Overall it is a really good and accurate smart scale.

Fab design

When I opened the box, I liked the design. It wasn’t too heavy and it’s thin enough to store easily and bring out when I needed it. It felt good quality and was packaged nicely. To damage or marks anywhere on the device. The device offers a variety of measures to suit different needs such as BMI, weight and body fat percentage. The instructions in the manual said the link to the app was in the website and to use the link provided but I couldn’t find it this way. I searched for the app in the App Store on my phone. It took my a few attempts to get the device to sync to my phone over Bluetooth however once I figured this out, it was very easy to set up. It’s very fast and give you results within a couple of seconds. The measurements are available in the app instantly.

I am really impressed with these smart scales. They are modern, sleek, and compact meaning they don’t take up loads of space. I found setting them up easy and simple.
The ability to be able to quickly get a range of measurements amazed me as I’ve only ever used standard scales.
The app is a great addition and helps me track and manage my weight and measurements without having to write it down saving me time and effort. Being able to add 5 different profiles to the app meant that my wife could also utilise these scales and benefit from the excellent app information.
The unique metabolic age feature is a great motivation to know what progress you need to make on your fitness and health journey. It would also give you the recognition and confirmation if your metabolic age was below your actual age.
I would definitely recommend these scales and to anyone wondering if they are worth it, they definitely are.

Great for measuring fitness and weight

I am really enjoying using this device. It is easy to use however pairing can take awhile as I had to try a few times before it eventually paired up.
Once you have this done, you just stand on the device and it automatically turns on and measures you. It shows your current weight, BMI, muscle mass, body fat, bone mass pulse more. I like that in the app it gives you a chart showing the fluctuations day to day so you can keep an eye on how your body is changing.
I also like that based on your measurements it gives a rough guide of what your body age is giving you an idea of your overall fitness levels. A great product that is great if you want to track your health and any fitness journey youre on. I would recommend

Tengo un 38 y se me salen los talones. Cualquier persona que tenga más de un 38 se le saldrán los talones y dedos del pie. Es incómodo, jamás vi una báscula estrecha, que sentido tiene??? Da la sensación que estés subido en una rama.

Mise en service très rapide une fois l' application téléchargée. Deux mesures prises à une semaine d' intervalle qui sont cohérentes aussi bien pour moi que pour mon épouse.
Seul bémol quand il faut rentrer la date de naissance : je n' ai pas trouvé d' autre moyen que de passer par le calendrier proposé ce qui est très fastidieux quand il faut remonter 45 ans.
J' ai lu des commentaires sur d' autres sites de personnes qui ne savaient pas comment poser les pieds. C'est très bien expliqué sur la notice avec un schéma qu'il suffit de bien respecter, notamment la position des talons.

These are the first scales that give me a reading of key aspects of metabolic health, such as visceral fat, BMI, and metabolic age so I can get an overall appreciation of my health. I love the APP as well - a great way to keep track of the data. I liked them so much I bought them as Christmas presents !!!

I’m a bit of a Health fanatic and have beef or most of my adult life. This scale serves my needs and I think is a good indicator of your overall Health metrics with an understanding that it’s just a measurement and not a diagnosis.

Decent body analysis scale

It isn't that good as in hospital, but at least it shows decent fat % accuracy based on Activity level you choose. Worth spent money.
