Eufy by Anker Smart Scale P2 Pro Review

[@sheenasoleilangeles2464]

Thanks for this review! Very helpful and it saved me from having a lot of stress and confusion if I bought this.

[@marianneyag4106]

Thank you so much for your top quality review. I was going to purchase it, but thought wait I better watch some reviews. Thankfully I came across your review. I think, just a simple body scale is the best, then having all these bells and whistle technology body scales. Nothing worst you get inaccurate readings, when you are already on a restricted diet and full on training program. Thank you for your advice, very much appreciated.

[@JKLProjects]

I understand your concerns and reasons for not recommending this product. They are valid but not as problematic as you suggest so long as people are aware it’s happening. No £50 device will be as accurate as a £16,000 device. Even then it’s likely the more expensive device uses algorithms and assumptions. To my knowledge the only way to get accurate body fat readings is from callipers. BMI requires accurate height and weight measurements so a floor standing scale with no head height sensor will always be off to some degree. So long as anyone that buys this uses only this scale to track their progress then it will do its job of allowing you to track and monitor readings over time. 👍 Hope this helps rationalise the review for anyone thinking of purchasing and alleviate buyers remorse if you already purchased. Great video OP thanks for taking the time to post. 👍

Yeah, the buggy app is a valid concern, but the criticism on the accuracy of bf% and weight stem from lack of understanding of how these methods work and issues with scales in general. All methods are based on algorithms. Some use more data and can be more accurate for sure. But you can still use a cheaper tool like this to track progress and the trend as you gain/lose bf and muscle should be reliable. You should never track progress using different methods anyway, even if these are relatively accurate methods like Body pods and dexa scans. Regarding the discrepancy between the weight measured on the device vs David Lloyds, I've seen calibration issues even with professional high-end devices, as in the weight recorded is different. Add slight differences in food, hydration, clothing etc between measurements, they can add up to significant differences in weight. All the other quantities measured are related to these two, so obviously there will be deviations.

[@gogo4ever]

Thanks, you saved me from a disappointment. Will keep looking for other scales.

[@masoudsakha9331]

for accuracy you will need scales that has hand bar

[@AbdelghafourSaidi]

the question is what device budget or with a reasonable price have close to accurate caluculations

[@hugelevin]

None

You should send this to the company please ,, and what is the alternative that you would recommend ?

[@fredericcodegarcia7460]

Thanks. Helps a lot. I have P1 and problem with fat mesure. So I now - its not worth to fix and measure.

[@Straightarrow42]

I wish I had seen this before I got it. I'm a 6 day a week gym rat. Just measured 12% bodyfat at the gym. This had me at like 24%. Ridiculous.

[@TruthReviews]

You could return it as not fit for purpose with almost all retailers.

[@Quoh0g]

The scale states that's it's not for professional use. Having said that, why don't you just establish 12%/24% as a calibration point, then run another calibration point a few weeks later? If the BF% trend follows the same direction on both measurements, then that's really all you could as for in this price range. For example, if your next measurements are 11%/22%, I'd say the scale is working pretty great.

[@thebullshittersvonmatterho8512]

@@Quoh0gexactly… as long as the measurements are consistent there is no reason why you couldn’t…

[@deathmetalfunzone7727]

Great video - I wish I had watched this review before I purchased this scale. I had my body fat tested professionally and it was 8%, this scale said 21%. What is the purpose of even selling something so wildly inaccurate? I’ll be sending this back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone that plans to use it for anything other than weight.

[@Jadafif6]

Thanks! Which scale did you settle on?

[@TruthReviews]

@Jadafif6 there just isn’t any reliable ones without spending stupid amounts of money. There is one at my gym that is called bodytrax and it’s amazing but cost £10k to buy. My advise is spend a good amount of money or find a fitness centre or gym that has a decent one.

[@tiffisfine1665]

Are there any smart scales that are decent or are they all a bit iffy?

[@Oggiesilverfitness]

I am so disappointed with this product as my bodyfat is showing at 25% as well. I know I am less than that. by at least 5%. I workout 6 days a week. I also eat a lot of protein and it is showing a similar result to your example. It's going back.

[@MrGrez81]

Have you tried similar test with the Garmin s2 scales?

[@Benj1980]

Thanks for the review! just saved me from buying this!

[@michaelclanton1152]

Wow I hope you sent it back! I have seen another video where it was accurate made in the last yr. A fitness club will do a DEXA RMR scan for 300$ if anyone interested in that.I got the P2 not the pro we will see.

[@sudhansubehera4012]

Thanks for your review, it helped me make my up mind :)

[@wtiy]

What did u get?

[@thetambay684]

Have you tried the omron weighing scales?

[@alimomen]

Usually these scales have an "athlete mode" for body fat and muscle mass. It changes their algorithm.

[@TruthReviews]

This one unfortunately doesn’t have that.

[@RobVarley]

I’d imagine that anyone getting poor body fat results probably had more visceral fat than they think. Even if you have and your organs can be covered in visceral fat. I’d would be really interesting to see someone get an mri on visceral fat to see how that compares to the body fat % that seems to be off on a lot of people. My guess is most people have more fat in their stomach than they think. 😊

[@WINDSHEAR-STUDIO]

I appreciate your review on this. Aside from just giving you your weight measurement these scales aren’t good for much else.

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

Not sure why anybody would be upset that a device at this low of a cost doesn't produce anywhere near the accuracy of medical devices that cost thousands of dollars... As long as it gives consistent readings, the average person can see trends from their diet and fitness routines...

[@SONICPRO919]

Always says low when I take protain shakes so no idea why

[@TruthReviews]

I tried it with a friend who has minimum 220 grams of protein a day and his said low too.

[@jasontubilag7140]

Awesome review! Thanks man. Cheers!

[@thegadgetzone]

It seems like the ones that are accurate will cost me around £500 so I guess I might as well just buy this inaccurate one… unless you have another recommendation that’s not going to be over £500 ?

[@TruthReviews]

What’s the point of an inaccurate one? If your gym doesn’t have one pharmacies sometimes do and charge £1 to use. Better off doing that than something that’s not accurate. You might as well make up a number you guess looking in the mirror.

[@reecechadwick8504]

​@@TruthReviews most can't afford to splash £500 on a scale for their bathroom, it's excessive for most so I see his point

[@Bhavik_Khatri]

I'm big Anker fan, but can't believe they released such inaccurate product. I have lots anker products and they are very good except this scale.

[@TruthReviews]

I have a lot of their chargers. Some I have used for years and they work great. Their cables work great. But this product is irresponsible and can make people feel bad emotionally due to the readings.

[@Bhavik_Khatri]

[@petsknowbest9282]

That's the worst purchase i ever made. Gives me a 23.7% body fat whereas according to samsung watch I'm at 15% body fat. All measures are inaccurate except for weight. I will be using it as a regular scale. What a dissapointment.

[@gaboshkaboi6885]

The scale is by no means accurate. But the Samsung watch has been proven to be amongst the lowest accuracy BMI scalers to date. So I don’t really understand why use that as a reference point

[@CraigJonesFluffer]

Your Samsung watch is probably more inaccurate than this scale in regards to body fat % lol
