When it comes time to recharge, simply plug the scale into a USB charger with the included USB cable, and it will be fully charged in 5 hours. It carries a charge of 1,000 mAh, which will power the scale for a full year without the need to recharge. This saves you the trouble of changing batteries from time to time, and the internal pack is quite powerful. Unlike many electric scales, it uses an internal battery pack, rather than requiring C or AA batteries. So, how does the Etekcity ESF00+ WiFi Smart Scale actually work? To begin with, as we’ve mentioned, it runs on battery power. At the very top, a series of familiar icons will show when the scale is connected to Bluetooth or WiFi, and you’ll also see your current battery level. Over that, you’ll see all of your specifics: BMI, bone, muscle, fat, and water content, and, of course, your weight.

At the bottom of the display, a row of bars provide a quick, color-coded assessment of your physical condition: orange for underweight, green for ideal, and red for overweight. The digital display is a long, black oval that is oriented vertically between your feet. The overall weight is 9.2 pounds, which is fairly heavy, but keep in mind that this isn’t a mechanical scale it’s electrical, so the weight includes a large internal battery. Four feet protrude from the bottom at the corners, with grey rubber pads that prevent the scale from sliding around or getting kicked across the floor by mistake. Underneath, the bottom is cut out to reduce weight and material. You’ll be able to wipe away footprints with just a spritz of glass cleaner and a paper towel. The top surface is covered with tempered glass, which is tough enough to stand on while still being exceptionally easy to clean. The frame itself is constructed from rugged aircraft grade aluminum, with a white ABS outer shell that’s attractive and smooth. This makes it large enough for most people to stand on comfortably, without being so large as to obstruct your way around your bathroom. How does this scale look on your bathroom floor? The Etekcity ESF00+ WiFi Smart Scale has an oblong design, with sides that measure 14.8 inches in width and 11.8 inches long. But how good is this scale really? We’re about to find out!īefore we discuss the nitty-gritty, let’s address the basics. And, of course, you can always use it as an ordinary bathroom scale, so if you’re only interested in your weight, you don’t need to get confused. It tracks your BMI, bone and muscle mass, as well as a rough approximation of your body fat percentage, and much more. This device is designed to pair with the VeSync smartphone app, which keeps all of your results in the same place. Today, we’ll be reviewing the Etekcity ESF00+ WiFi Smart Scale.
