Review on 🚽 Healthkeep Bathroom Scale: Smart Wireless Body Weight Scale with Body Fat%, High Precision Measurement and Smartphone App - 396 lbs (Blue) by Jun Merritt

No Woohoo for WuuHoo

The Fitdays mobile app for Android works great with the Healthkeep scale, so it's a shame the scale is so inaccurate. Weight, visceral fat, and body age were correct and readings were consistent over a week of daily use, but the fat and muscle percentages were horribly wrong. I've compared the scale alongside the Omron scale and have used the Tanita scale in the past, so I've been using composition scales for decades and I understand my numbers. I am a petite woman who has been gaining weight for the last ten years and now has accumulated too much fat. This scale showed that I had 41 percent muscle mass instead of just under 25 percent. 16 percent difference! And the body fat percentage is 29 percent, and actually I'm closer to 38 percent. The difference is 9 percent. I'd be happy with the lower body fat percentage the scale shows me if ignorance were bliss, but I'm 135 pounds now and in the past I was 120 pounds and much better shaped so 41% of the muscle can't possibly be right. I'm 5ft 2in, small frame. I messaged the WuuHoo seller via Revain and got a reply to make sure athlete mode wasn't enabled, which it wasn't, and after that I started running. I actually put it into athlete mode once to see if the readings were more accurate, but that only made things worse, actually reducing body fat by 21% and gaining muscle by 46%. and another said there was a problem with my email address and i couldn't contact them via facebook. I tried the direct support email and got no response. The scale is back. I'm sticking with my Omron HBF-516B. It costs 3 times as much and I have to keep written logs for follow-up, but it's proven to work. Buyers be careful. You can view body composition charts and measure your waist, hips, and neck to estimate body fat. My Navy and Army charts estimate 31 percent body fat, 29-31-38 - It's hard to say which is closer to reality, but I have extra fat around my arms and thighs that these charts don't account for. I am sure that 41 percent muscle mass is nowhere near the reality, I have to be an athlete and bodybuilder for that and I keep it a secret, I have too much fat and oatmeal to lose so I know what I have from low to normal muscle levels and not very much. I have to wonder if all the great reviews on here really have any idea if their readings are close to accuracy or not. If I believed the Healthkeep scale I wouldn't be training for muscle growth and that would be a mistake.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
