Save your money
Very disappointed. I was looking for a method to measure body composition that was more accurate and consistant than bioimpedance and skin fold calipers. I have been using the BodyMetrix scanner for two months now and cannot get consistant results from the device. If you scan the site several times you will get different measurements each time. I have read all of the online manuals, followed the instructional videos on youtube and still cannot get satisfactory results. The software is lacking in functionality as well. For example, if you switch to different formulas such as 7 site Jackson Pollock and 9 site Parrillo you cannot save both results, the last one saved overwrites the previous forcing you to utilize only one formula if you want to use trending data. I use an excel spreadsheet to keep all measurement data, shouldn't have to do this for $500. Overall, it is a novel concept just not ready for primetime and definitly not worth the asking price. Your money would be better spent on a good skin fold caliper. I would stay far away. This is one purchase that I do regret.
