(checked 2026-10-10)Its 24,923 ratings are shared with another BodyScan listing (B0GYF5PST1) whose title says Bluetooth only, so the count may pool variants.
PCMag's best alternative to a DEXA scan: a handlebar scale that breaks down fat and muscle by arm, leg and torso for about half the price of rivals, with the most precise weight readings PCMag has tested. Its body-fat and muscle numbers varied between weigh-ins, sometimes by up to 5% against a pricier handlebar scale.

Top complaints
- Body fat and muscle readings jump around
PCMag saw body fat and muscle mass vary across repeated weigh-ins (less muscle after breakfast than an hour earlier), with body fat sometimes 5% off the HumeHealth Body Pod.

Amazon's review summary says accuracy and connectivity are mixed, with some owners reporting inconsistent readings and Bluetooth connection problems.
- Disposable batteries and a lot of scrolling
PCMag prefers rechargeable models; four AAAs last up to eight months. It also had to scroll a long way in the app to find comparative values.

What owners love
- Most precise weight PCMag has tested
It repeated the same value on back-to-back weigh-ins, added 0.7 lb when PCMag's tester pocketed a 6.8 oz phone, and returned to the exact value after.
Source: PCMag review - Segmental breakdown for less
The handlebar breaks down fat and muscle in each arm, leg and torso, for roughly half the cost of competing handlebar models (PCMag).
Source: PCMag review - Wi-Fi and safe mode
Syncs without your phone nearby, and a safe mode turns off BIA for pregnant users and people with pacemakers, unlike the pricier Hume and Renpho handlebar scales (PCMag).
