Renpho Bluetooth Smart Scale Review


We purchased the Renpho Bluetooth Smart Scale over a month ago and I wanted to report our experience with it.  We have been very impressed with this scale, especially for the price.  It has been a very reliable scale.  What is particularly impressive is the amount of data that it automagically provides based on nothing more than your weight and the electrical contact pads.  You do need to be barefoot for the scale to work properly, though it will work with socks too, just perhaps not quite as accurately.  It will weigh you with shoes, but you don't get any other data other than weight if you do that.

If you use it properly, it provides you a wealth of data that it tracks over time for you, via an app that you install.  When you setup the app you create an account, so it maintains your data when you log back in even if you lose the app.  The data points that it tracks include:
  • Body Weight
  • Body Mass Index (BMI)
  • Body Fat Percentage
  • Body Water Percentage
  • Skeletal Muscle
  • Fat-free Body Weight
  • Muscle Mass
  • Bone Mass
  • Protein
  • Basal Metabolism
  • Subcutaneous Fat
  • Visceral Fat
  • Body Age
That is a very impressive list of data that is extrapolated from seemingly little information, yet in my experience the numbers are very close to reality, and it's awesome to see those results graphed over time.

This scale can be used my multiple people.  The normal way to use it is to open the app on your phone, then sit your phone to the side so you aren't adding it to your weight, and step on the scale, which will then display your weight and transmit the data via bluetooth to your app.  You can also use the scale without your phone, and the next time you open the app and the scale is on it will transmit the older data to your phone as well.  In that case, it will match up the data to the right person based on weight, and it will ask you if it's unsure.  Many people can use this scale, just close the app when you're done weighing and the next person can open the app and weigh.  It works quite well.

The only negative is that the resolution is only one-fifth of a pound, meaning that it will display only every other tenth of a pound, not every tenth of a pound.  But that's not a deal breaker and for the price, it's still a good buy.  It will measure up to 396 pounds, so that's high enough for most people.  It takes 3 AAA batteries which lasted us just over a month with probably 4-6 weigh-in's a day on average.

Overall I would definitely recommend this scale.  Please like, subscribe, and click the bell!  And don't forget to tell us below what you think of this review, or what you think of this scale if you own it, in the comments below.  If you decide to purchase the scale, please use the Amazon link below.  Thanks!  https://amzn.to/2Yx7wcc

OpenDNS is Cool

I was listening to my favorite podcast today, This Week in Tech with Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak and others (pretty much the old TechTV gang when it was an awesome cable channel, before they were bought by G4 and subsequently run into the ground). But I digress... anyway, they were discussing an awesome service called OpenDNS , so of course I decided to check it out when I got back from lunch. Sure enough, this is a very cool, completely free DNS (domain name service). For those of you who don't know, DNS is what converts Internet name addresses (i.e. www.google.com ) to it's actual IP Address (i.e. 208.67.219.230). DNS was created in the early days of the Internet because humans can remember names a lot easier than number combinations. Typically, when you type an address into a web browser, for example, it goes and runs to your Internet Service Provider's DNS server to say "where the heck is google.com?" to which your ISP's DNS server

Who are the Elohim?

Image
Elohim is a word peppered throughout the Old Testament (OT) Bible in the original Hebrew, which is typically mistranslated to English as God but as we shall see, there is a big difference between the elohim of the OT and the one true God of Jesus. For many, what you are about to read will be dramatic paradigm shift that will change your worldview.  I want to reassure Christians that your belief in Jesus Christ and the God of Jesus Christ will remain intact, but as you will learn, much of what you may have been taught to believe is not as you were told.  Everything in this article is based on the Bible.  It is our duty as believers  to discern that which is true from that which is false.   I encourage you to use a reverse interlinear Bible (showing the original Hebrew text and transliteration next to the English translation) to confirm everything I cite here.  I personally use Logos for this, but there are a few free options available such as the Blue Letter Bible .  Do not simply take

Eschatology and the Future of Mankind

When it comes to eschatology or "the doctrine of the last things" the Bible is intentionally cryptic.  In fact, when Daniel asked about this "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time." ( Daniel 12:8-9)   There are, in fact many views as to what the future on Earth holds, most with convincing and valid points and scripture can be found to confirm those views, but the Bible itself tells us that this information is "sealed up" so beware of those who are certain of how the future of Earth will play out. Preterists believe that nearly all of the events of Daniel and Revelation and the future events that Jesus spoke of have already occurred on Earth during the first century, primarily during a 40-year exodus period from 26-66 AD culminating in the destruction of the temple in 70 AD by the Romans.  After all, Jesus says in Matthew 24:34 during his Olivet Disco
