Editor’s RENPHO ES-26M review bathroom smart health scale.
Place it barefoot on the bathroom scales and immediately about weight, BMI, muscle percentage and much more. Know? To make this possible, four sensors on the step surface of the RENPHO scales send out small current impulses and measure their reflection by fat and muscles in the body. The measurement method, also known as bio-electrical impedance analysis, is integrated in more and more scales and is basically harmless for healthy people. However, children, pregnant women and patients with pacemakers should avoid using it.
The RENPHO ES-26M bathroom scale is also not recommended for competitive athletes. The reason: B, because cheap products like this one only measure on the feet and not on the hands. That is, the impulse usually only extends to the bar and therefore provides guideline values rather than precise information.
In addition to the typical weakness of all standard analytical scales, the RENPHO model offers many practical features that can also help sporty people to become more motivated. While the weight appears directly on the display of the scale, all other health values are processed graphically and in the free manufacturer app (Android | iOS). This allows users to easily see whether a change in weight is based on fat loss or muscle gain. If you like, you can even share your successes with your friends via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
The compatibility with other smart fitness and health services such as the Fitbit app is also practical.
The RENPHO bathroom scale measures more precisely than the other models in comparison
In our comprehensive personal scales comparison, the RENPHO model was the only one to score with the measurement in 50 gram increments. All other bathroom scales only show changes in 100 gram increments and were therefore significantly less precise. If the scale is also coupled with other compatible devices (e.g. a Fitbit tracker), it can assess the health of its users even better.
No other bathroom scales compared by us from the same price segment, on the other hand, had an app or other networkable devices. Usually Bluetooth or WLAN scales (e.g. eufy Smart Scale P1) cost significantly more or do not work very well.
Therefore, in our opinion, the RENPHO bathroom scale rightly achieved the first place in the comparison.
