As a body fat analyzer, this product did not live up to my expectations. I was displeased to find this product does not in fact have an Athlete setting for body fat measurements as is claimed in Amazon’s description of the product. As a lifelong weightlifter I have always found body fat analyzers very inaccurate due to my increased muscle mass. I thought this product would be able to provide me with accurate body fat measurements by way of having a setting specifically for athletes. Unfortunately that has not been the case as the scale routinely advises me I have approximately 35% body fat which is in direct conflict with caliper & hydrostatic testing that has put me at around 20% body fat.

I was going to knock my review of the scale down to 3 stars over, seemingly, false advertising. I decided not to because I reviewed both the instruction manual and Escali’s website and found no claims of this product featuring an athlete setting. Therefore the fault may lie with Amazon’s listing of the product and not the product itself.

In summary, a good scale for large individuals. A subpar bodyfat analyzer for anyone with above average levels of muscle mass.
