  • The scale doesn't have an anti-slip surface to ensure it remains firmly in place.

Description

The Tanita RD-953 is a personal scale that you can use for a complete body analysis. In addition to your weight, the scale also measures your body fat percentage, muscle mass, BMI, bone mass, muscle quality, visceral fat, metabolic age, and calorie requirements. The scale recognizes the user as soon as you step onto it thanks to the 4 programmable user profiles. That way, your reading is even more personal and accurate. The measurements appear on the screen within a few seconds and you can check them later in the My Tanita app. Thanks to the sturdy material, the RD-953 is suitable for people with a maximum weight of 200kg.

Note: the use of a scale with body analysis may lead to health risks for pregnant women, children, or people that use medical electronic devices. Check the manual before use.

A complete, accurate mini body scan in seconds

  • Visceral Fat Measurement
  • Metabolic Age Calculation
  • Fast
  • Without an app, some work to set up multiple profiles
A very complete scale including body scan. reasonably fast, everything measured within five seconds. Tip: first download the app and fill in your profile there, then start the scale with the app. It is also possible without an app, but then you must first create profiles on the scale.

Nice device that tells you the (hard) truth.

  • No fluctuations with multiple measurements
  • Many measurements in one
  • Glass gets dirty quickly
Tanita is a brand that also makes professional measuring devices for athletes and healthcare. The RD-953 is the flagship for the consumer market. You may be a bit shocked by the price, but this is not a scale. It's much more. It shows you (including by means of an app) how your body is composed (fat, belly fat, muscle, fluid, BMI, BMR, etc). Even your metabolic age is measured. That's fun for some, confronting for others. There are a lot of complaints about the companion app, but nothing bothers me. You have to follow a certain order and be patient; then it works flawlessly. The measurements differ per day (which is logical), but with several measurements in succession, the results are always the same. And that is sometimes different with a cheaper scale. I think it's a very nice device. If your body is okay, he will tell you. If not, he also confronts you with that reality. Unfortunately, you have to work on that yourself. He won't do that for you.
