RENPHO Smart Food Scale with Nutritional Calculator, Bluetooth App, 11lbs

Pros: Accurate Measurements Easy Setup Clean, unobtrusive industrial design BT connectivity with good nutritional detail Cons: Not integrated with common Nutrition apps Requires online account and possible personal info exposure The Details: I recently purchased the RENPHO Digital Food Scale in order to compare it with my existing food scale, a Mackie C19. As a daily user of the RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale, I was curious if I would similarly like my experience with their nutrition scale The scale came in an easy to open package and was clean and orderly upon opening. The startup procedure was typical for this type of consumer device (pull battery isolation tab) and it was ready to go. On power on, i found it had a typical LCD screen with white backlight, and 2 buttons, one for Units and one for Power and Tare. Unit steps you through lb:oz, fl:oz, oz, mL and g (i assume the volumetric measurements are calibrated to 20C water). Holding the Power/Tare button down for longer than 1.5 seconds turns it off, shorter than that tares the scale. I did notice the Unit and Power/Tare buttons were a little loose in their mounting - something that seems like could be improved with a little more engineering. I decided to do a rough cal check, so i tared it empty and then added a 200g weight, to which it measured exactly 200g. I will likely check further weights across the range up to its far end limit to verify linearity, but for a single data point it was a good start. I next installed the scale's app called Gennec. I was a bit surprised to find that my existing RENPHO mobile app i use for body scale was not sufficient/integrated with the nutrition scale system, which seems like a bit of a miss as being a user I’d prefer one app from a vendor to support same/similar-type devices (scales). None-the-less, the app was easy to install, and BT pairing between scale and app was straight forward and trouble-free. From this point you are sent to add an account to Gennec (a little disconcerting to give your personal/health info to an unregulated Chinese company), and then setup personal info (height, weight, etc.) along with goals. This is necessary in order to make use of the Plate and Diary functions and is understandable given the nature of the scale. I'd personally still prefer this info just stay with the app and have the option to upload or not. Using the app, i found that it responded quickly and accurately to whatever was placed on the scale (readouts were consistent). I then tried changing the drop-down item "What's on the scale?" to try a food item. This brought up a new page with a search field, and i entered the ubiquitous 'apple', to which it found server options for different data entries (at this point I'm curious what database it is drawing on to provide food info). Reading the scale, it gave back nutritional breakdown based on weight, along with mineral and vitamin information which i felt was a nice plus. Back at the search page, there is also a tab for 'Recent' (self-descriptive), 'Favorite' (presumably can be added to, wasn't able to determine how), and a 'Customize' tab that you can add your own food item to. At the main measurement page, you have a lower tab option to add a 'Plate', which become a compounding measurement so you can see how far away from your target you are. Similarly, is a Diary that keeps track of daily intake. It's worth noting that it feels like the scale would show more value by integrating with existing and well-established nutrition tracking apps, such as Lose It! or My Fitness Pal. Even the RENPHO body scale integrates with my Fitbit app so i'm not having to manually enter the data every measurement, one of the biggest values. As a consumer i ultimately want one app the maintains all my fitness and nutritional data securely and under my control, and has whatever hardware devices integrating into it to make it efficient and more comprehensive This device has potential for that, but needs to provide the connectivity. With all said above, for a ~$20 scale to provide accurate, BT connected food measurements with nutrition breakdown as needed, I feel like this is a good value and give it 5 stars.

LOVE this kitchen scale! As someone who is on their wellness journey this helps me to easily track my food. Keeps charge for a long time to! I also love that it is so small to store.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Game-Changer for My Weight Loss Journey! I’ve been using the RENPHO food scale for my weight-loss journey, and it’s amazing! The scale is super accurate, easy to use, and has a sleek design that fits perfectly in my kitchen. What makes it stand out is the RENPHO app — I can instantly track calories, macros, and nutritional info for everything I weigh. The app has a huge food database, plus I can add custom foods and log my meals, making it so easy to stay on track. The tare function and clear LCD screen are really convenient, too. This isn’t just a scale — it’s a smart companion for anyone serious about reaching their goals. Highly recommend!

The battery life is about 1 month, it’s a perfect size for on the go. I use this scale everyday because I meal prep and it has not failed me. I would say it performs exactly how it should and it’s super easy to navigate and get the hang of. I will say though there are times where it gives me an “error” message when I turn it, at first I thought it stopped working but then i turned it off and turned it back on again and the message was cleared. The visibility is also super clear, if you need a small scale I do recommend buying this one.

Really great quality

I've been using a Renpho body scale for a couple of years now and have been very happy with it. I decided to try their food scale, and so far so good. It's attractive and accurate, and very easy to use. Just two buttons: one for on/off and tare function, the other to change the units for the type of food you're weighing. I compared its accuracy to another scale I have, a smaller non-food scale, and they are in total agreement with each other. The downloadable app is great if you are watching what you eat. I'm doing the low carb thing, and it's come in very handy. You can just enter a basic food, like "potato chips", and get results on a wide variety of nutrients (or in the case of potato chips, non-nutrients!). If you're looking for info on a particular brand, you'll have to enter the name pretty much exactly as it is on the label. Just about every brand I've searched for has come up, and it will probably get better as more people enter info, which you get the option to do. I only wish it used the same app as the body scale. It would be great to combine all the information. The real test of this scale, however, is in the hands of a real chef, and that's where my girlfriend comes in. She's been using it more than me, and is quite fond of it. She has one complaint: With most units, it measures up to 2 decimal points (e.g. 2.57 grams) but in fluid ounces, only one (2.5 or 2.6 fl oz.) Is this a problem? Beats me, but she's the chef and she would prefer two decimal points for fluid ounces. I've been using it for a couple of weeks so far, and the included batteries are still going strong. Recommended. BTW, if you have ever wondered what a Willie Randolph bobble-head doll weighs, it's exactly 10.85 ounces.

This RENPHO food scale has been a solid addition to my kitchen, especially for portion control and nutrition tracking. The scale itself is compact, lightweight, and easy to store, but still feels stable on the counter. Measurements are quick and accurate, with no noticeable lag when placing or removing items. I primarily use it for weighing food in grams and ounces, and it’s been very consistent. The tare function works smoothly, which makes it easy to weigh multiple ingredients in a single bowl. The companion app is where this scale really adds value. It syncs quickly and makes it easy to track calories and macros without manually entering weights. For anyone focused on weight loss, macro tracking, or specific diets like keto, this can save a lot of time. That said, the scale also works perfectly fine as a standalone device if you prefer not to use the app. The surface is easy to wipe clean, and the display is clear and readable. I also appreciate that it handles a wide range of weights, from very small portions up to the listed capacity. Overall, this is a reliable, well-designed food scale that works both with and without the app. It’s especially useful for anyone who wants more precision and consistency in their food tracking without adding complexity. Would definitely recommend for everyday kitchen use.

I own the Renpho body scale, tape measure, and jump rope and I absolutely love these three products. That's why when my old food scale stopped working I was excited because it game me an excuse to buy this one. I had seen the device card on my Renpho Health app and had been secretly hoping I would have a reason to buy it. However, I was a bit disappointed that the app function is not a smooth as it is for the other Renpho products. These are the things that I have found frustrating: I am using an iphone 12. 1)There are SO MANY Renpho apps in the app store but the product manual is not updated with the new app information. For the body scale I downloaded the Renpho app which also worked with the tape measure. Then with the Jumprope I needed the Renpho health app, which I realized also synced with the body scale and tape measure. When I bought the nutrition scale the instructions said to download another app. I decided to try it with the Renpho health app first, but... 2) It keeps freezing. When I scan a barcode it works ok...not perfect, but when I am measuring something without a bar code it takes forever for the keyboard to pop up so I can't type it in. Sooo.. 3) I downloaded and set up the app that was mentioned in the instruction manual. It worked a bit better, however that's when I discovered the database is a little clunky. There will be a large list for the same thing with brand names attached so when I am just trying to weigh an egg (from my own chickens--not store bought, I am overwhelmed with options and not sure if it is just a raw egg in the shell, or an egg without the shell, or a cooked egg. I know it isn't a big deal but it takes the convenience out of having a smart scale. 4) It is supposed to connect with MFP. I know that my other Renpho products do through the Renpho Health app--to the apple health app--and then to MFP. This does not seem to be doing that. The problem is probably because it is glitchy and the other app doesn't sync with apple health. Who knows, but this sync was one of the big selling points for me. However I like... 1) The variety of units available. I can find the food on MFP and then change the unit to match how the food was listed. 2) Good size. I can fit a large pasta bowl on the scale and still be able to see the display. 3) easy to clean. Hopefully they improve the app function, then this will be perfect, but for now it is good enough.

Parfait

Nach mehreren "Billig Wagen", oft als Amazon Empfehlung gekauft, die samt und sonders nichts taugten (ständig andere Wege-Ergebnisse, völlig ungenau), ist diese Wage überraschend "stabil" in der Messung, schnell, einfach zu bedienen und sogar für "Familien Back Aktivitäten" geeignete Gewichte nutzbar.

I want to use this scale for weighing portions of creatine, protein powder and coffee been dosing but the "1 gram" accuracy isn't very accurate at all. weighing down the same scoop results in a fluctuating measurement often overshooting by 2 grams when adding weight on the scale. Makes this scale frustrating for dosing relatively small doses of powder or beans. Cons: - not accurate to 1 gram - needs app, but the app is finicky - tare doesn't always register - takes 5 seconds to startup Pros: - batteries included, ready to use - can measure water volume - glass plate makes surface easy to clean Deal Breakers: - there are cheaper scales when not using/needing the app

I like this scale because it’s able to give so much information with the app.. bmi body fat etc, it’s nice and light not at all cumbersome like they were years ago… I could put this in my handbag and go
