Wow, very seldom do you come across a cheap product that performs so well! I have a xiaomi smart scale, which I thought was a cheap price (paid $55) for a 'branded' bluetooth scale, probably the cheapest 'name brand' smart scales out there. Then there was mention of this Renpho scale, which already got so many high reviews it was annoying.
Anyways, on to the product. The Renpho does everything it promises to do, providing those 11 'composition analysis' details (check the description).
The app is really good 'flawless' is how my friend describes it. Uploads to Google Fit, and also to Open Scale which an open source app on Android. Really easy to setup and use.
Initially experienced issues with consistency but found that this was because we weren't on a flat enough surface, so just something to watch out for.
Also tested and confirmed that it DOES store weight records in case you don't have your phone with you, it syncs the missing records over during the next sync.
Haven't had to recharge the battery yet, and this is a bit different to the xiaomi (which takes AAA batteries). However, it's not too much of a hassle to recharge them, I think possibly it might be annoying if you want to weigh yourself and you find the battery is weak so have to wait for a charge. Or maybe long term (I'm talking many years), the battery capacity might drop to an annoying level and require frequent recharge, but not a problen.
PROs:
- CHEAP PRICE (this was available for $22ish dollars during a promo)
- Lots of measurements
- Well made & Looks good
- App is great
- Lots of sync options
CONs:
- No WIFI sync so you always need your phone to upload data, but that is fine cos adding WIFI would blow the price.
- Not a real con, but potential issue with built in lithium battery over long term use (I prefer using rechargeable AAA's) <-- this is more of a personal preference I guess.
So - if you are looking for a budget scale which does lots of measurements, this should be it - the highest rated smart scales on Amazon, extremely positive price on it. Step on it!

Winning by losing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2018
I bought this scale after a few hours of research and comparison with 200 pound big brand scales doing exactly the same things and it was the best decision I made this year (right after quitting my job)! It's been my faithful friend and by 'friend' I mean it's never sugar-coated my weight which was fueled the fact that stress has made me into a cookie monster and cookies turn into fat (they don't tell you that in Sesame Street).Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2018
Anyway, I turned to Renpho, installed the app and turned on some Killian Michaels replacing cookies with gallons of water and air (breathing to relieve stress) and I started winning by losing! Renpho really keeps me motivated and I can forgive the fact that it talks to my FitBit behind my back.
Unfortunately, due to a long period of my weighting avoidance (aka holidays) the batteries started leaking and damaged the scale. I could still use it but it wouldn't tell me all those fancy secrets about fat percentage in my body. So I wrote Energia Team asking for advice. Turns out their advice was 'Here, this is a brand new scale for you, don't mention it' which made me very happy and I definitely felt understood and listened to (unlike in my previous job).
I absolutely adore my Renpho scale. It does what it says in the description and keeps me happy (like my new job). Highly recommended!
