InBody Dial H20N Body Composition Analyzer Ivory/Beige

This product is a bargain. I had a 230 body composition monitor before this which is far more expensive but I prefer this. The Bluetooth and app are great and give you the information that you or clients really want to know.

Don’t buy anything else. The lower priced ones aren’t as good or reliable.

I'm on a pretty serious recomp journey, so it's very important for me to somewhat obsessively monitor whether my fat and muscle % are increasing or decreasing. My gym has a big commercial Inbody, so I was able to compare the accuracy to that; the numbers between both are an exact match. I know that BIA is only an estimate of body fat % and not accurate compared to something like hydrostatic weighing, but for a home monitoring device the average consumer can afford, I would say this is one is as good as you'll find. I could not get the app to work at all, and I am not technologically impaired. I just take a photo of the screen every time i use the device.

I see a lot of complaints about consistency from one result to the next. I had these issues briefly as well until I started paying attention to the following:

1. Wear a tight, thin shirt that is snug under your armpits and shorts that stop your thighs touching if necessary. I keep a tight Underarmor t-shirt next to the scale that is perfect for this. This is very important!
2. Initiate the test in the app.
3. Wait until the scale shows 0.0, meaning it's calibrated, then step on the scale.
4. Wait for the weight to flash indicating that it's complete.
5. Gently grab the handle like it shows in the instructions and hold it about 12" from your waist with straight arms. Ideally, find a spot on the floor that you can aim for every time.
6. Don't move until you hear the double beep indicating the test is over.

When I do this, I get the same result over and over with body fat readings that make sense (calipers, mirror, changes in response to changing diet/exercise) and never varying by more than 0.1%. The reason all of this is necessary is that the distance the electrical pulse travels impacts the readings. Armpits rubbing, thighs touching, and bent arms change that distance and change the results. Eliminate those variables and you'll get the most out of this very high quality scale.

My only real wish is for segmental analysis in the app. The scale itself performs a segmental analysis so I can't see a good reason why it wouldn't be provided. If there is one, I'd love to hear it. :)

In the end, I've tried a bunch of these BIA scales, both with and without handles, and this one is more precise than any of the others I've tried. It's the one I'm keeping for the long term and it is well worth the price!

Hope that helps!

As someone on a GLP1 I was worried about losing muscle mass as I lose weight. This scale is so easy to use and helps you track weight, body fat, muscle, etc. I really like it.
