One of the best smart scales is on sale with a 34% off on Amazon This weekend. The RENPHO Smart Scale performed well in our at-home testing, and we’re glad to see the price reduced by over $12.
You can view your data on the brand’s companion app, with stats like weight, body fat, visceral fat, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, protein levels, and body weight without fat.
You cannot feel the electrical charge and it is safe for most people unless you have a pacemaker, medical implant, or are pregnant. If any of these apply to you, talk to your doctor before using one. Smart scales vary in accuracy, but they’re still a useful way to track changes in body composition, as well as support a weight loss or fitness journey.

Buy it if: You want to easily monitor your health and that of your family. The RENPHO smart scale is easy to use and gives instant readings. The red numbers are easy to read on the black screen. In terms of accuracy, the scales put our tester at 2 pounds heavier than the professional scales at their local gym, which isn’t a huge difference. We liked the app’s ease of use, which gives useful insight into the data collected, including whether you fall into a healthy or unhealthy category for any of your 13 body composition readings.
Don’t buy it if: Our only complaint is that you may need to recalibrate the scale if you move or flip it, but this is easily done by standing on the scale with one foot.
