Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Upgrade Premium Smart Scales for Body Weight and Fat with Wireless Bluetooth, Fitness and Health Tracking Body Composition Monitor - iOS Android APP Supported, Auto Recognition by Shannon Redd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too ambitious product for the price. Also, I don't like apps that make you jump through hoops.

Decent scale for regular weighing, good construction, rechargeable so no need for batteries. I hate some of my scales that use a 9v battery, they are harder to find and expensive. I usually only have a few spare parts for smoke detectors. This might deserve a higher rating if you understand all the stats, use technology well, can customize and use metrics. Except for some tablets (which come with a discount) I don't know of many companion apps that make you see ads. It's one thing when I need to watch a video about something or download a program or music file and quite another when I need to do something when I'm weighing myself. It would be much more useful without the add-ons. The app is pretty easy to set up, but it's designed for people with little technical knowledge. I wouldn't buy this for your grandma if she wasn't really progressive and relegated to the cell phone world. I actually expected to pay over $40 for it, but unless you're tech savvy you'd just use it as a standard scale, so it's not bad at this level. The display could be bigger, I can't read without glasses. The scale has a decent range up to 400 pounds. I couldn't use many old mechanical household scales because they stop at 300 or 275. While, as I said, I could use a larger display, I like that it's backlit unlike my other LCD scales, so I don't. I don't have to turn on the light in the evening before I go to bed or when I get up in the morning to weigh myself. I recommend it for tech savvy users, but if you still like landlines, basic cell phones, or don't use a computer or tablet, skip this one.
