DEXA similar results

Reviewed in Australia on 15 January 2020

I just came home from a DEXA body composition scan. I was happy to see the delivery of the scale and in good packaging. I was amazed at the results from the app. Both my mother and I each downloaded the app and our results from the Renpho scale have us almost identical metrics that we have in our DEXA report. I like that the app also gives other metrics to follow giving you an overall idea about your health. I'm so happy to know it's able to give trends on the app. Instead of paying hundreds for a DEXA scan, go for this scale while is out there! I've previously paid over $200 for a brand name medical scale and it was bulky and no additional features were available without a subscription!

Waste of money. App doesn't work device doesn't pair.

Reviewed in Australia on 21 July 2020

unfortunately just wasted $50 on this instructions say how to paid it. Device doesn't want too. Trouble shooting says to do it a certain way according to the response Device works so you can't log issue with them. Well scales turn on and charging works... but this product is unless for everything else. As it requires the product to Bluetooth and connect to your phone, needs the product to work for that. Even tried just pairing after a hard reset via settings on my phone without app and it still won't connect.

So buy your self a basic digital scale don't waste paying extra for this ones features like I did as it doesn't work.

Decent for weight, poor for anything else

Reviewed in Australia on 29 May 2022

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

This scale claims to measure body fat and muscle, but I suspect it just calculates it based on your weight.
I bought this scale two years ago as I started a new and intense exercise regime. Since then, I have been for regular professional scans that showed a massive change in body composition, but this scale still shows my muscle and fat in the same proportion as it was at the start. When my weight goes up/down, it just adjusts the muscle/fat in the same direction.

It is still good for weight measurement and I like the app, but otherwise I think the product is a scam.

Needs frequent reset and recalibration

Reviewed in Australia on 10 April 2021

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

As above. Even if I don't move these scales I get one weigh out of them before I again have to reset and recalibrate them and then test them for accuracy with a 5kg dumbell. This is a bit of a pest frankly. If I don't go through this process, the weight can be out by 5kgs. The other measurements such as muscle mass and fat% are interesting but I', not sure how accurate they are. I like the way it syncs some info with Fitbit but I bought it to accurately measure my weight and haven't been able to trust it to do that.

Body fat and muscle mass readings

Reviewed in Australia on 22 May 2020

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

The body fat readings are grossly inaccurate. My body fat is, visually and as recorded currently and over the last three years, very low (under 18%). The Renpho measurement is 33.5%, verging on obese according to the app. This is laughable. Whilst my muscle mass has dropped due to no gym workouts at present, it is also inaccurate. Getting accurate body fat and muscle mass readings was the main reason for buying a smart digital scale. I'm very disappointed, but at such a low price comparatively speaking I guess it was just too good to be true.

Laughably Innacurate

Reviewed in Australia on 6 January 2021

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

Look it's cheap, but do NOT rely on it's accuracy.
I've been using the scale daily to track my loss from 100KG to 78KG. Though that time, according to the scale, my body fat % has dropped from 33% BF to 27% BF.
I now have visible abs, yet the app says my BF % is "dangerously high". That's simply not possible.
A DEXA scan say's I'm about 16% BF.

Too small

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2022

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

As a weighing implement, it works rather well, but the person I ordered it for say's it has a small foot area, although she admits to having large feet for a women, but it should be large enough to accommodate larger feet. Most men have generous feet.

Good as a weight scale, not accurate for other measurements

Reviewed in Australia on 23 June 2019

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

Easy to use and set up, but I got 10% difference in body fat % when I switched between athlete and regular mode.
I took a measurement on an InBody scale for comparison (hand and foot measurement, so I trust it to be more accurate) and it was halfway between the two measurements from the Renpho.

Great value digital scale

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2019

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

Great scale - captures weight quickly and provides really useful statistics using the app. The downside is that it claims it will connect to Fitbit but doesnt. Multiple users in the scale is a bit tricky too.

Easy to use and Quick weighing scale

Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2020

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

There's no problem with phone Bluetooth connection, easy to use, not sure about the accuracy about body fat, but it's OK to compare with my self's daily basis.

Wifi stops the app working

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2020

Size Name: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style Name: USBVerified Purchase

Couldn't create a profile so set myself up as a guest, couldn't delete entries either so I emailed Renpho. Customer service top notch as they replied quickly. Problem appears to be the app doesn't function correctly on wifi. Or not on android and not on my Virgin wifi using a mesh. Also the results using a logged profile were significantly different than using a guest profile with the same parameters - BF by 11%, base metabolic rate by almost 300 calories....which makes no sense as I was the same weight and still a 49 yo female at 5' 5". So turn off your wifi and create a proper profile and it's not too bad. Oh and the display on the scale only shows lbs (and kgs assume) not st lbs and it doesn't flash the BF as my previous scale did.
UPDATE I sent these points to Renpho just as feedback and not asking for a reply. But to the second point I am apparently an idiot and did not enter my profile the same in guest mode as proper profile mode and that is why my results are different.....even though I am quite sure of my age height dob and sex and even though I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times trying to get the app to work on wifi so put in my details 3 times in guest mode then and got the same outputs. They only changed when I had a registered profile!!! Oh and if you happen to select athlete mode just for fun you can knock even more off your bf :-)
