March 2009. The Tanita Body Fat/Body Water Monitor BF-679W gets positive reviews for its reliability. Owners and experts praise this digital scale for its accuracy and consistency in measuring body weight, although its body-fat and body-water monitoring feature isn't as consistent. (This is a universal complaint about body-fat monitors, which can only estimate fat percentage.) The Tanita scale has memory for two users, but the 300-pound weight limit is lower than many scales. Users appreciate the large readout numbers. If you don't care about measuring body fat, the less expensive Health o meter HDL820-18 (*est. $25) is a top-rated basic digital scale.
We found about 100 owner-written reviews at Amazon.com and Epinions.com for the Tanita BF-679W bathroom scale, giving a good impression of overall owner satisfaction.
