Weight control without overpayments: TOP-5 bathroom scales for home

The scales of the world-famous French brand are made in stylish black colours. They are equipped with a strong glass platform, thanks to which they look attractive, compact and concise. The Tefal PP1060 is powered by one CR2032 lithium battery, which is included in the delivery package.

The tempered glass used here can withstand up to 150 kg, although the model itself weighs a little more than a kilogram. It is not difficult to take care of the scales — it is enough to wipe them periodically with a dry or wet cloth. The only "side effect" of glass is that it can be slightly unpleasant to stand barefoot on the platform if the apartment is cool.

The gradation of indicators in Tefal PP1060 is 100 grams. The maximum margin of error is the same. The weighing results are displayed on the display: the readings are easy to read — the numbers are large and easily distinguishable. Additional diagnostic functions are not provided, which explains the democratic price of the model.

Scales are quite sensitive to irregularities. It is recommended to use them only on flat and smooth floors to avoid discrepancies in the results. In general, the classic black coloring and laconic design combined with the brand's fame make the model a universal choice for those who have decided to monitor their weight.

This is one of the most affordable floor scales among those that have extensive diagnostic functions. Supra BSS-6600 determines the mass, percentage of subcutaneous fat, muscle, bone tissue and water. The device will also calculate the body mass index and daily calorie requirement.

The scales are designed for a maximum load of 150 kg. The price of division Supra BSS-6600 — 100 grams. It is not necessary to use the model on perfectly flat surfaces, the measurement accuracy will be acceptable, and the spread of indicators is minimal, even if it is weighed not on linoleum or tile, but on a carpet with a small pile height.

Complete with the scales, you get a Russian-language setup instruction. To measure the diagnostic parameters of the body in Supra BSS-6600, you first need to set your personal data — age, gender and height. And since the scales have a memory for 12 profiles, before starting the analysis, you need to select your user number and stand on the platform barefoot.

The maintenance and operation of the model is also simple. The tempered glass surface is easy to wipe. The scales are powered by a pair of finger batteries.

The disadvantages of the Supra BSS-6600 include the fact that diagnostic indicators are shown on the display for a short time (some are quickly replaced by others) and quite small. At the same time, the internal memory of the model stores only the initial data about users, and the results of weighting are not saved. In general, you will have to train your own memory and reaction speed, which, given the tempting price and functionality, is not critical.

Electronic scales of the popular Redmond trademark are devoid of diagnostic functions. Four built-in sensors are responsible not only for high measurement accuracy (permissible error of 100 grams), but also for the prompt display of weighing results.

Redmond RS-729 are made of durable materials: the platform is made of tempered glass, and the base is made of aluminium. Thanks to this, the scales are designed for a maximum load of 180 kg. The device is powered by 4 AAA batteries.

The model received a display with a large dial. Good readability of indicators, even in a dark room, will provide illumination.

A characteristic feature of the scales is the floral design, which is very popular among the fair sex. Inside the black frame, three flowers with a 3D effect are depicted on the transparent part of the platform. Thanks to this, the Redmond RS-729 model can become not just a device for measuring weight, but also an interior element.

Of the disadvantages, we will single out a fairly high price, as for the existing basic functionality.

This is a light, compact and functional scale from a young brand from China. The model weighs only 1 kg, is powered by 4 finger batteries, and is offered in different colour variations. Yunmai Mini Smart Scale is the junior representative of the line of "smart" scales, the manufacturer also offers Colour and Premium versions.

Scales allow not only to control body weight, but also to analyze 9 more indicators of the body. Yunmai Mini Smart Scale calculates the percentage of muscle, subcutaneous and visceral fat, water and bone tissue, determines the body mass index, the level of basic metabolism, the amount of protein and sports age. The model is designed for people weighing up to 180 kg.

Another advantage of Yunmai Mini Smart Scale is working in tandem with a proprietary mobile application. With it, the scales are synchronized via Bluetooth 4.0 and store all the results of weighing and analysis in the cloud. Here you can add up to 16 profiles, set individual goals, get recommendations, set reminders, etc.

You can also synchronize the scales with third-party applications, for example, Google Fit. This is quite relevant, because the official Yunmai software has not yet been translated into Russian. There is a basic Chinese version and an international version in English. Among other disadvantages, we note that individual users have questions about the accuracy of the analysis of additional parameters and the logic of their changes (you drank mineral water, and after the measurements, the percentage of fat changes, not water in the body).

In general, Yunmai Mini Smart Scale can be recommended to both supporters of healthy lifestyle and fans of "smart" devices.

This is the junior representative in the line of diagnostic scales of the Japanese company Tanita — a well-known specialist in the field of medical equipment. The model is made of plastic, which does not cool in winter. The scales can withstand up to 150 kg, powered by 4 AA batteries.

Tanita BC-730 determines body weight, the percentage of subcutaneous and internal fat, water, muscle and bone mass in the body. The model also calculates the level of basic metabolism, diagnoses biological age and gives an assessment of your physique. If necessary, you can just quickly weigh yourself — without analyzing additional indicators.

Tanita BC-730 is designed for 5 users. For each profile, the initial data is set — age, height, gender, body type, which are stored in memory. Subsequently, the scales independently recognize the user and save the results of the last measurement. There is also a Guest function, the analyzed data for which is shown on the display for 40 seconds, but is not stored in memory.

When the Tanita BC-730 is located on an uneven surface, a serious spread of indicators is possible — significantly more than the permissible error of 100 grams. The second disadvantage is the small length of the case — only 21 cm. So, even a foot of size 39-40 will not fit completely on the platform, and the fingers will hang down. This is slightly inconvenient, although it will not affect the accuracy of measurements at the moment (the main thing is to become heels on the lower electrodes).

In general, these are high-quality diagnostic scales from a specialized Japanese brand. To consider the purchase of Tanita BC-730 is worth those who are not just looking for floor scales, but are interested in comprehensive monitoring of their health and any changes.
