Keep tabs on your weight and your body fat with the UM-028F Body Fat Monitor. It has a 1.4" display and a memory for two users. Measures weight in increments of .2 and measures body fat in 1% increments. The auto recognition feature allows you to simply input your user information once, and the scale will automatically recognize you as the appropriate user. 300-pound weight capacity. Uses 4 AA batteries (included).

The FitScan UM-041F Body Fat / Body Water Monitor uses Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA), which sends a safe, low-level electrical signal through the body. Just enter your age, gender, and height, then step onto the monitor. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low, safe signal through the body. The signal passes with less resistance through the fluids contained in muscle tissue and blood, but it encounters more resistance when passing through fat tissue, which contains little water. By using the impedance reading, gender, height, and weight, the scale can quickly and reliably calculate body fat, total body water percentages.
