Fairly good measurements
I just received the Tanita RD-953, without instructions that I had to print from the internet. The upper body measurement is rather random, especially the visceral fat seems a bit fancy. You have to reconnect the BT before each use which is not convenient. I'm considering whether I should return the device and buy another one that also measures upper body muscle and fat. But the RD545 at 490.00 is way too expensive and the other analyzers have no BT, sometimes not even a chip. I'm trying to decide...
Pro
- rather accurate lower body measurements
- aesthetics and weight
- BT
Contra
- doubtful visceral fat measurement
- no muscle and arm fat measurement
- BT connectivity before each use
Highly recommended
It’s not by coincidence that Tanita is the market leader in this segment. Although expensive, it met all my expectations although the app could have been better.

Handling positive; measured values?
The handling is simple and works right away, no problem with the Bluetooth connection, app functional, the readings can be shared as a pdf file as desired.
The assessment is clouded by the measured values (this is the primary use of a scale). The following measured values at comparable measurement times / conditions:
Tanita BC-601 InnerScan / RD-953 / Professional device BC 418 (mediz.).
Fat percentage: 14.5% / 19.3% / 13.9%
Muscle mass: 71 / 67 / 72
Water: 61 / 56 / 55
Visceral fat: 10 / 12 / 10
If you are primarily interested in the temporal development and not in the absolute measured values, the scale is OK.Pro
- Bluetooth connection without problems
- App easy to use
- many measured values
- export pdf-file
Contra
- missing segment analysis
- manual must be searched
- deviating measured values to professional scale
Meets expectations
Meets expectations - would buy again. Setup was easy and device pairing via BT worked on the first try and has remained stable so far. Trend is output and numerous other data is available and also compatible with IOS Health. I would have liked the scale's "feet" to be customizable so the device doesn't wobble on flows. The simple functions can be used without a profile (guest). For more advanced functions, a profile must be created and the app installed. Likewise - in my case - the phone must always be connected to the scale before measurement begins.
Pro
- Simple pairing
- Many measurement data
- Design
Contra
- Privacy policy
- Online profile necessary for certain functions

Super tracking with app
Super. Love the tracking options. But you have to be patient and follow the order. First start the app measurement and then wait until Tanita is advised before standing on it.
Pro
- Trend chart
- BMI and belly fat vs. muscle quality
- reading is very fast
Contra
- You have to patiently follow the sequence
Excellent Tanita
Fantastic, I had tried the previous version and it was already the top, in this new version I also have the PDF directly. love it
