Ease Of Use: Among the major advantages of the Omron HBF-306C is its ease of use. Its even simpler to operate than the newbie friendly Omron Body Sensor and ten times easier than the overbearing complexity of the Tanita BC-1000 which is the equivalent of driving the Starship Enterprise compared to this. You will, of course though, need to read the instruction manual carefully so you will know how to input your profile. Other than that, using the device is pretty much intuitive. Another advantage is that aside from the nine-profile memory, it also features a guest mode that temporary users can benefit from. And here is a bit of good news for non-U.S. residents: you can set the device to metric measurements as well. There is also a very helpful little card that tells you when to use the device.
Accurate, Consistent Readings: Furthermore, the Omron HBF-306C provides very consistent readings. To illustrate, if you take three consecutive measurements at one time and then get the average reading, you will notice that the variation between readings is generally less than one percent. And unlike some body-fat measuring scales, this device is capable of reading body fat percentages above 30%, which means you can definitely be confident about its ability to tell you if your percentage of body fat has risen or lowered. The device is also very compact, which makes it very convenient to have around the house. Plus, it comes with free batteries. One perk that has all but disappeared in recent years!
The Bad Points: The only significant drawback to the Omron HBF-306C is that it is quite flimsy, so you should be very careful not to drop it, as it can break quite easily. Other than that, there really is no other reason to complain. Reading through some Amazon Reviews of the product, a couple of people complain about varying accuracy, but as long as you are consistent with your readings – for example taking them every day at 6.00pm, you will not experience this problem.
Verdict: At only $26.99, (Through the link below) it is definitely well worth your money, especially if you want to check your fitness indicators regularly without having to shell out $50 every time for a full body scan. Using the device is a lot more convenient than calculating your BMI manually, and it is definitely much more accurate than the classic bathroom scale.
