    Consumer Reports rates it as "very good" for calorie accuracy. The measurement they used was "Combined calorie use accuracy from walking on a level treadmill at 3 mph for five minutes and using an elliptical exerciser for five minutes." So, your mileage may vary depending on your activity. I really like mine, but I do try to allow some leeway by not eating all of the exercise calories it gives me.
