Analysis and opinions of the Tanita BC 545N

From the first moment Tanita presents you with a product with a modern and elegant design
in black and white; integrates electrodes in the handles around the console and in the base
to make bioimpedance analyzes with greater precision. With SMART buttons, since they are
illuminated and quite simple to use.

It has its own anti-slip base, as well as its built-in alkaline batteries (AAA type). To use it is
very simple, get on the base, pull the handles around the console until you bring its
retractable cable to a position where you are standing, after this you can start the
measurement.

Biometric technology with incredible capabilities

The Tanita BC 545N scale works with the biometric sensors found at its base, for this
reason, in addition to being a scale, it is a "Bioimpedance" analysis machine, which
calculates the percentage of fat on the basis of tissues. Thanks to this, Tanita guarantees us
a more complete analysis and a more punctual follow-up.

It supports a maximum weight of 150 Kg, additionally it works with 3 measurement units to
show the weight (Kg, Lb and St), its margin of error is 0.1kg and approximately 0.1% of body
fat.

Fast analysis and a memory that competes

What we loved the most about the Tanita BC 545N is its ability to segment and provide a
much more detailed analysis, with a memory that allows you to analyze the weight of up to 5
people.
One of the characteristics that we had read about and was commented on by several users
on Amazon was the speed of the analysis. So, we decided to do the test and it left us
speechless since in 15 seconds it showed us the measurement of each one of the members
of our test team.

Recommendations when measuring yourself: If you want to have the most accurate
measurement, we recommend the following methods:

● Riding naked or in underwear without socks and with clean feet.

● Always weigh yourself at the same time and wait 3 hours after eating, waking up or
exercising.

● Line your heels up on the non-slip base, keeping a firm grip on the console handles.

● If your toes stick out, don't worry about that, as it doesn't affect the measurement at
all.

Body fat in children

Although it does not have Bluetooth, which prevents us from connecting with our
smartphone to the results of the scale, it does have a "Children" option, which gives it an
additional feature that is very rare among the competition.

Setting it up was very easy, we put my son on the scale, and we pressed the SET button, we
selected the child mode, giving me very fast results, but I wanted to compare with other tests
that I had done at the doctor, indeed you can notice a margin of error but it is very minimal.

Track your results

If what you are looking for is to measure your physical state more consecutively, on its LCD
screen you can see a graph of the evolution of your results, the amount of electrolytes in the
body and the percentage of water.

The BC 545N accomplishes this tracking with its memory recall mode, looking up saved
measurements in user profile information. But... How can I access my previous results? It is
as simple as pressing the PAST button on the console and there it will show you your
readings.

Auto shutdown and guest profile

The Tanita BC 545N activates its shutdown operation under the following conditions:

● When the measurement finished.


● If you did not touch any button on the console in 60 seconds.
● If you got off the scale suddenly.
One of the features that we really liked was its guest profile, since with this option the scale
does not ask for any personal information, which makes it perfect for those moments when
you have a friend who wants to weigh themselves.

To activate this mode, just press the ON/OFF Button while you hold the electrodes on the
console handles, followed by that you will see this symbol “0.0” on the screen, press the
User button, then you will see the word Guest, from that moment on you can start taking
measurements of any guest in the house.
