RENPHO Bluetooth Rechargeable Bathroom Smartphone Reviews Summary

Battery and Charging

Pros:

• "Love that it has a rechargeable battery. When it gets low I charge it and good to go for 4-5 months."
• "PLUS ITS RECHARGABLE... it's been a month and I still don't need to charge it."
• "Battery is great! Haven't had to recharge in 2 months."
• "I've had mine since October and I use it everyday; I've charged it twice - once when I got it and once about three weeks ago."
• "First of all, I love that this scale is solar powered. No more messing with batteries. The battery lasts for ages as well."
• "The scale is powered by solar."
• "Rechargeable battery using micro USB charging port."

Cons:

• "But after about a year, it wouldn't connect to the mobile app."
• "After 2 years the battery won't take any charge, and internal re-chargable battery is not serviceable."
• "The scale will not charge after two years one month."
• "The battery doesn’t even last half a day after being fully charged."
• "It has been 1 year, 2 months since I purchased this scale. As of 2 weeks ago, it would not take a charge and therefore it is worthless."
• "Charge speed is super slow."
• "The charging system moves and it’s a struggle to charge the unit."

Accuracy and Performance

Pros:

• "It seems to be accurate and is so far very durable."
• "You can tell it to communicate with fitbit and your weight and body fat% will populate there automatically."
• "This scale was easy to setup. Since the recent app update it syncs right up with scale no issue."
• "I have found it to be quite accurate when on a level surface."
• "The scale is also very consistent and the app provide valuable insight into my weight and breakdown of the different tissues."
• "It's extremely accurate."
• "The weight is accurate and almost identical to my doctors scale."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately I was very disappointed when using this product. It did not weigh consistently."
• "It is of by 2.8 pounds and we can not seem to get it to calibrate to 0.0."
• "The scale was a bit inaccurate when calculating body fat percentage and weight."
• "Scale reads different each time I step on it. Shows 2.6lbs when not standing on it."
• "nothing but weight appears accurate. A recent update added this 'athlete mode' option... If the scale properly measures my body fat then why does toggling this switch on make such drastic changes in its findings?"
• "It worked great when I first got it but now I can step on this scale on a clean, even surface with bare feet three times in five minutes and each time I get a different number for weight."
• "Not accurate at all."

Design and Usability

Pros:

• "Set up was a breeze - take it out of the box, step on it quick for a calibration reset and then use!"
• "I just really like the style of it."
• "Blends with most decor."
• "The scale itself is attractive, although it has a slick surface that you want to be aware of if your feet or the top of the scale is wet."
• "It's small, thin and is nice looking."
• "The app is easy to use and install. The app gives you great information and gives you brief explanations of everything it's tracking."
• "All of the data automagically uploads to the Renpho app you download to your phone."

Cons:

• "But the important functionality of connecting via Bluetooth to transfer data isn’t working."
• "Bluetooth connectivity is a little tricky only because there is no clear sign of connectivity until you figure out it is just a check mark."
• "The scale works great and bluetooth connection to the app worked surprisingly well. But the scales charging port stopped working and now we can use it."
• "The charging cord it came with is SHORT."
• "Links with Fitbit. The sync range is about 20 feet, with the usual Bluetooth wall barrier issues."
• "Doesn't always transmit measurements over bluetooth."
• "The app also has issues transferring the data sometimes."
