Looking for reviews on iHealth wireless body analysis scale

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm not sure If I'm posting this in the right place.

So I'm thinking of buying a iHealth wireless body analysis scale, its a big step up from have no scale at all and weighing myself now and then at pay scale at my chemist/drug store. :laugh:

The reason I'm looking at buying one is that I like that it measures your weight, body fat, lean mass, muscle mass, bone mass and body water but for a little over $100 I'm doing some research before buying a high-tech scale.

So I was wondering if anyone else on here has one or used it before and thinks its worth buying or could suggest any other body analysis scale.

Thanks in advance for your help :happy:

    No scale can accurately measure LBM, body fat, etc. They are notoriously inaccurate.

    Not familiar with that scale..

    I will say that any body scale that measure body fat, lean mass etc is not going to be very accurate at all. The most accurate measure of body fat % are either dexa scan or bod pod analysis. That being said, I have one that measure all those factors and I just take it with a grain of salt. I have a whitings and I like it because it has an iPhone ap that syncs with my phone with the scale so I can track my weight on the ap….
