Health
A scale that shows 100 g precision but reads differently every time you step on it is worse than a simple one that's consistent. Body-fat percentages from foot electrodes are rough estimates.
Quick answer
Repeatability matters more than 100 g precision.
Four load cells and 180 kg max capacity.
Body fat is an estimate, not medical grade.
Not for pacemakers or pregnancy.
In the shop
Read these off your phone at the counter. The answer tells you more than the price tag.
1.“What is the graduation — 100 g or 50 g steps?”
A good answer: 50–100 g. Anything coarser hides real change.
2.“Are the body-fat readings estimates, and can it store multiple users?”
A good answer: Yes, estimates from bioimpedance. Treat trends, not absolute numbers.

Answer all 2 questions to see the spec sheet to shop with.
Buy it locally
Sometimes the local dealer beats online on price, installation or the exchange offer. Tell us where you are and we'll list nearby stores. We don't rank or take money from any shop; results come from Google Maps.
The area you enter, or coordinates rounded to about 1 km if you use your location, are sent to Google Maps through Lovable to find places. Lookups are temporarily cached for up to 30 minutes.
Displayed decimals vs giving the same reading twice in a row.
Why it matters
Weigh yourself three times in the shop — if readings jump, the sensors are poor.
What to check
100 g steps are useless if repeatability is ±500 g.
The four sensors under the platform.
Why it matters
Four good load cells give stable readings; cheap scales use weak sensors that drift.
What to check
Check max capacity (usually 150–180 kg) fits everyone at home.
Sends a tiny current through your feet to estimate fat/muscle.
Why it matters
Foot-only misses the upper body and shifts with hydration; useful only as a trend.
What to check
Not recommended with pacemakers or during pregnancy.
Tempered glass thickness and non-slip feet.
Why it matters
Scales must sit on hard flat floor; tiles yes, carpet no.
What to check
Rubber feet prevent slipping in bathrooms.
Syncing readings and recognising family members.
Why it matters
Handy for tracking trends over months; needs Bluetooth and a decent app.
What to check
Check the app doesn't require constant account and ads.
Basic digital scales to smart body-composition scales.
