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.
A few questions about your situation, not about the product.
Answer all 2 questions to see the spec sheet to shop with.
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 BIA 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.
