Fitness Product of the Day - Salter MaxView Analyser scale
Posted: 19/01/2010 at 08:07am by Weight loss expert and founder Rich Leigh
For Product of the Day today, we’ve decided to look at something no weight loser (odd adjective there) should be without: weighing scales.
I’ve never seen a set of scales, this side of the zoo at least, with a readout as big as that of this version of the popular Salter brand scales.
At nearly 20cm by 11cm, the display is intended for anyone short sighted, or for anyone who wants to see their results clearly, whether you want to see your weight in lbs, stone or kilograms. The scales look great and will fit into most bathrooms in terms of style, with its stainless steel fascia.
The MaxView has a 26cm squared platform and features every estimate function you would expect given the £49.50 price tag, including body fat & water percentage, muscle mass, BMI & BMR, athlete mode and memory storage for 10 separate users, which makes it perfect for even the largest of families. Although some of these function measurements are never perfect (except BMI, where you have to feed it your height), they’re a great indicator. In order to measure body fat and consequently muscle mass accurately, bathroom scales will never quite cut it when compared to body fat callipers or other methods, such as water weighing, so don’t totally rely on them as being 100%.
You’ll want to keep the scales off of carpet, as like with pretty much every set of scales I’ve ever used, the readings are especially inconsistent on anything other than a flat surface, such as tiles or wood.
The scale functions are fantastically easy to use, with initially well design- hidden buttons, and of course, full instructions in the box.
In summary, these scales are a great looking, easy to use set that will compliment most households. With so many products out there which do exactly the same thing in terms of primary function, what make the Salter MaxView scales different is the great estimate functions and separate user accounts, which will regularly update your BMI as you go along – a nice, but by no means foolproof way to see whether or not you’re within a healthy weight range.
