TANITA's RD-545 InnerScan PRO, FDA Cleared, World's Only Consumer Multi-Frequency, Segmental Body Composition Scale

I know this scale is expensive, but truly worth the price tag if you would like full and accurate insight of your body composition. My wife and I feel it’s worth the money and we’re both enjoying every feature of the scale and app. I don’t write reviews often, but felt it was necessary because the only review for this product is a one star review, which almost deterred me from making the purchase. I’m glad I did more research and selected the Tanita RD-545pro. We had the Qardio Base prior to purchasing this one which was very inconsistent and a frustrating scale. It doesn’t even come close to competing with the Tanita scale.

Dare to compare" is Tanita’s marketing claim, so I did—and the results are far from impressive. On paper, the specs are solid, with advanced features like muscle quality scoring and segmental body composition analysis. However, that's where the praise stops. The build quality is cheap plastic, and it looks and feels uninspired for a premium product. Unlike every other consumer scale I’ve encountered, this one lacks a proper LCD display on the scale itself to show basic metrics like weight. Instead, there’s an antiquated, tiny LCD screen on the handheld grip. The grip connects to the scale with a flimsy cable that feels like it will either break or get stuck in no time. The scale is painfully unintuitive to use. Stepping on it doesn’t automatically begin a measurement like you’d expect. Instead, you need to hit the power button on the grip and then lift it to start—a redundant and clunky process. The scale also doesn’t auto-detect the grip position, further emphasizing how dated the technology feels. Setup was an even bigger nightmare. You first download the app, register on the my.tanita website, update your profile, and then attempt measurements. Even after jumping through these hoops, measurements often fail, time out, or get stuck. Worse yet, there are no clear prompts or guidance on what went wrong or how to fix it. While the LCD on the grip is outdated, the app is truly the worst part. It feels antiquated, clunky, and entirely unpolished. For a scale at this price point, this level of app integration is unacceptable. If you’re buying this solely for its unique measurement claims, it might suffice, but as an overall product, it’s an absolute disaster. I regret the time I wasted trying to make this work. The user experience is abysmal, and the presentation doesn’t live up to even basic expectations. This scale is a huge letdown.

Es una gran herramienta, en lo personal solo creo que le hace falta tener mas amplitud de usuarios en la app
