Pros and cons
According to our personal scale expert
- You'll get a more complete picture of your health, because the scale measures your body water, muscle mass, bone mass, body fat percentage, and calorie requirements, in addition to your weight.
- Thanks to the app connection, you can save measurements and gain insight into the progress of your health.
- You create personal user profiles, so the measurement can take your age and length into account.
- The scale doesn't have an anti-slip surface to ensure it remains firmly in place.
Description
Curious about more than just your weight? With the Tanita BC-401 scale, you can learn much more about your body and health. In addition to your weight, the scale shows your BMI, body water, bone mass, fat percentage, muscle mass, calorie requirement when at rest, metabolic age, and organ fat. Because all of this is difficult to remember, you can connect the scale to the MyTanita app. Here, you can keep track of all your results clearly. The BC-401 has a storage for 5 people, so you can use it with the whole family. Thanks to its compact size, it takes up little space and is easy to store.
Note: using a body analysis scale can come with health risks for pregnant women, children, or people using medical electronic equipment. Check the manual before use.

Work in the hospital as a technician and have compared the results with our professional equipment and this scale is astonishingly accurate. After measuring 7 times.

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.
