Tanita 2001T-FW Ultimate Body Fat Monitor and Scale

The 2-in-1 technology of the Tanita Ultimate body-fat monitor and scale means a more precise evaluation of your overall health. In addition to measuring pounds, the scale determines body-fat percentage with an at-home version of bioelectrical impedance analysis, the same method doctors use. Here’s how it works: when you activate the body-fat monitor, the scale transmits safe, low-level electrical signals through your body and measures how quickly they travel. Readings display in one-percent increments and take into account your age, gender, and height. Programming on this model is very straightforward with simple buttons, clear prompts, and an easy-to-read display. Though not calibrated for very fit individuals or athletes, the scale does have a weight-only option and a 300-pound capacity. Tanita includes a pound/kilogram option, automatic shut-off, a battery indicator, and detailed instructions.
