I have been needing an in-home scale for quite some time and since I have a Fitbit I was going to get the aria so everything could sync correctly. I hopped on amazon and started reading some of the aria reviews that weren’t as great as I thought they would be. So I started to search amazon for other Bluetooth scales and happened upon the RENPHO smart body scale and read the reviews with great feedback. It said it easily connected to Fitbit and has its own app so you can see your progress. I was not expecting for my Fitbit to sync so easily and the scale work so well. It has worked wonderfully with my Fitbit and the weight seems to be accurate. I would highly recommend this scale to anyone.. especially for the price! :)
... maintain weight or gain weight!
I purchased this scale with one intention and that was to monitor my weight because as you've probably guessed from the headline I am finally getting myself back to a healthy weight after seven years since I last gave birth. Let's be honest ladies, after the first year, we cannot 100% call it "baby fat" anymore. Lol. At least I didn't.
The app is easy to set up and use. Some if the things that it monitors we may not be familiar with, but that is what doctors, Google, our CrossFit friends and YouTube are for. So, use them! The numbers are clear and bright making it easy to read. Be sure to have your feet on the metal circles for your full reading. I usually open the app when I weigh in because the app will sound when the data is received. The app works with GoogleFit but NOT Samsung Health so I just manually input my data myself.
It is glass, but that makes it a lot easier to wipe down and clean. It also self calibrates and that is a HUGE plus! Have you ever had to manually calibrate a scale? Not fun!
It supports multiple users. They can download the app to his/her phone or just have the app on one phone and add multiple users.
It recommends replacing the batteries monthly and at first it may seem excessive. BUT, keep in mind it is a Bluetooth device so it is always "on" searching for a connection point. Simply put, there is no on/off switch which is a great convenience.
I recommend getting this scale no matter where you are on your fitness journey. For the price you cannot get a better deal!
Good luck to you all!
I was not really sure what to expect with this product as the reviews were somewhat mixed. I did a lot of research before I purchased a Smart Scale and I ended up going with REHPHO because it was FDA approved, was a good price, and most of the reviews were positive.
I was really surprised at how accurate the scale was. I just had a scan done at my (super futuristic kind of stuff) and then I also did a manual calculation of my stats and as you can see in the image the results I got on the scale were almost exact to my manual calculations and fell in line with the results that I got from the super advanced scanning I got at my gym.
One thing to note is the included batteries didn't work at all. When I put them in the scale didn't turn on. When I replaced them with regual Duracell batteries it turned on right away. I also noticed that my actual weight fluctuated between 153 and 151, I re-stepped on the scale about 10 to 20 times to see how much change there would be and after a while it finally evened out. But again my weight right now fluctuates between 150 and 155, so in my opnion the results are still accurate.
I can't praise this scale enough, and it's a great value for the price! It performs as advertised, and it's simple to use; you'll have your results sent to your phone in less than 10 seconds.
This scale has been so helpful during my weight-loss journey and really brings clarity to fat-loss versus muscle gain, so it's easy to stay motivated even when the number on the scale doesn't change. It's also compatible with the fitbit app and feeds your results directly into fitbit, so no more double data entry.
I've also been able to compare my results from this scale to a professional-grade Tanita body-analyzer and got very similar reads, so the numbers can be trusted.
Our only hiccup was trying to set up 2 different users on 2 different phones (iPhone and Android) for the same scale -- my tech-savvy husband was eventually able to figure it out, but it was not a simple process.
Overall, we love it and we've already bought another one as a gift!
Overall, I really like this scale! It was easy to set up, pair with Bluetooth on my phone (iPhone 8+) and sync with my Fitbit app. After I created my account it took a couple of minutes to pair with Bluetooth and sync with the Renpho app and once I did that, I just gave permission for the app to read/write information with the Fitbit app and it synced. Haven't had any problems since. It was one of the easiest devices I've paired with Bluetooth to my phone and the app has been the only app that hasn't been a complete pain to sync with Fitbit and keep synced with Fitbit.
The detail of the information it provides is great and the stats are accurate. My only complaint about the measurements and the app is the healthy weight range it provides. I'm 32, 5'2" my weight fluctuates between 107 and 115 pounds and when my weight is around 115, the app tells me my weight is high (despite my BMI being 21.3 at that weight). My doctor would be worried if I dropped below my usual fluctuation, she already doesn't like the low end of it.

I've been focusing on weight loss and have been going to a weight loss clinic to help. The clinic uses a really nice Tanita scale. I wanted to find something similar to use at home. So glad I found this! I've attached the paper print out from the Tanita scale and the reading from Renpho scale (taken several hours later). They are strikingly similar!
There was minimal set up involved. I took the scale out of the box, downloaded the app, and hopped on. It even automatically synced to my FitBit.
This really is a 5 star product. Setup is super easy. Getting the app and just having it work everyday is awesome. I used To monitor and track my weight religiously in the past. I fell Off the wagon and then had a kid and then needed to find the wagon again 😅 this scale, though not like using calipers, still gives you incredible ease and tracking capabilities; it tabulates all of the data (weight, bf %, BMI, etc) into graphs...
The other fantastic thing is that it’s so easy, it’s something I find I can Be consistent in using everyday, even though i have a newborn that has high needs/is demanding. The information I obtain For it (body fat, etc etc) also seems to be very accurate and does not drastically fluctuate from day to day, which is unlike similar scales I’ve had before; these things make me trust that the data is truly accurate and will help me develop a better sense of my progress as I get Back into shape. Thanks for a great, easy to use product!
So, my weight has been an emotional punch in the gut ever since I was little. Logically, I know that I'm not severely overweight, but I'm fluffy and can afford to shed some body fat to feel better about myself. I got involved in general fitness a few years ago, so I'm not a novice, but I fell off the wagon for awhile and needed to get back into the swing of things. I wanted to get a scale that would provide me with more information than just an nondescript number for my weight. Thank goodness that I did. The number I saw on the scale nearly broke me, but when I stopped and started paying attention to HOW my weight was broken down, I was shocked to discover that all of my stats were either good or excellent, which has helped completely alter my view of myself and alleviated a lot of shame. As an example: I wanted one of my goals to try and get to 20% Body Fat (assuming that I was somewhere closer to 30%) when I looked at the scale, I was only at 21% to begin with! I ordered this scale because it was affordable with great reviews as far as accuracy, and I am just so glad that I did. If you are someone trying to get in shape and want to have a better idea of where your physical fitness is, I highly recommend this scale. It really shows you that it isn't the number on the scale that matters, and it teaches you how to understand your body to better shape your path toward your goals. Also, the app worked flawlessly, just wished it could sync with more than just FitBits, but that's a minor inconvenience that really has no bearing. I highly recommend this scale.
I got a white one. It’s beautiful and the display is nice. It shows only when you step on it. The reason for 4 stars is that the manual is not good at explaining all the features promised. My scale doesn’t report or show body fat and I don’t know where to look for it. I also don’t know how to set it up for multiple users. Looks like all users will have their data on my cell phone! It would have been nice to set it up in a way that each user could have tracked her weight on her own phone. I weigh myself every day but so far it has recorded my weight only twice! So I’m still learning how to use it. I feel the manual should be more helpful. So far I’m using it as a normal scale. But it arrived on time and looks very nice. Beats my old scale !
I had debated getting the Fitbit scale for over a year, struggling with its price. I started a weight loss program and was manually tracking my weight in MyFitnessPal (which then synced the weight to Fitbit). With manual entry I would usually just leave my weight the same as the day before when I had big swings either way. That method let me cheat myself and didn't really show what food intake was causing the swings... that I wasn't tracking.
I really just wanted something that would automatically track my weight for me when I stepped on the scale, eliminating the urge to massage the numbers. I wanted something that would sync with both my Fitbit and MyFitnessPal. While this doesn't necessarily sync directly with MyFitnessPal, it does sync with Fitbit, which in turn syncs to MyFitnessPal. So as soon as I sync the scale to the RENPHO app, both Fitbit and MyFitnessPal are up to date.
I've been using it for a week now and so far it's been great! I downloaded the app, paired the scale to my phone, and it recognizes that it's me vs other people. It's a simple and seamless process and seems to be accurate compared to the scale at the doctor's office. I'm very happy I got all the functionality I needed with no issues for under $30!
