Body Fat Scales?
Discussion
Anyone USING any of the new, high end consumer (so £150+) BIA scales that use hand pads as well as feet?
Curious if they have moved on from 10 years ago and get close to calipers?
Getting a Dexa scan in a couple of weeks so understand the way to test correctly, just wondered if the new gear gives (consistent, if not accurate) results for the home?
Not to interested in someone that got a £20 unit from Argos for xmas and jumps on it with no regard for hydration/time of day/etc - thanks!

I've got a set of the Tanita BC-545N. John Lewis has them at 185 but I'm sure I paid a lot less. The have foot pads and a hand held thing.
They are junk. I could accept them if they were inaccurate as long as they were consistent but they aren't. I can do three measurements I a row and get a different result by some margin.
They are honestly an enormous waste if money.
The best thing I found for tracking bf is a cheap single measure click calliper. Again I'm sure it's nos accurate but it is consistent.
