TechRadar Verdict
The Vitafit smart scale represents unbelievable value as a fitness companion.
Its well-built, features a smart companion app, and delivers accurate results where it counts.
However, it can deliver some wayward results for more fringe metrics.
Its well-built and features a minimalist design that will look at home in almost any bathroom setting.
The unit reviewed here was bought during one of these sales for 19.99.
A foot in each corner features an anti-slip pad to stop the scale from moving around on the floor.
For a $20-ish smart scale, the glass feels strong and premium, as do the electrodes.
Underneath hides the battery compartment, which houses three AAA batteries for power (included).
The Vitafit works with its accompanying Vitafit app for iPhone and Android.
Once connected, you simply fire up the app and step on the scales.
Theres also a zero-current mode, making this scale suitable for pregnant women and babies.
Zero-current mode provides a weight and BMI reading, but none of the other metrics.
The Vitafit does lack Wi-Fi connectivity, so youll need your smartphone handy when you use it.
It also lacks some features of more premium options like heart rate monitoring.
The only true test of a smart scales performance is its accuracy, however.
Each result is compared against the Tanita in thedifferencecolumn.
In both tests, the Vitafit came within 150 grams of the Tanita for body weight.
Bone Mass in kg was also incredibly similar, as were skeletal muscle mass and BMI.
Undoubtedly its not perfect, but Id say that for the price this is unparalleled performance.
