At first glance, the Inventum PW720BG looks quite solid. It is nice and flat and is very stable on its non-slip studs. The keys lie below the surface and operate by touch. That makes it easy to clean. The weighing surface is tempered glass and has safe rounded corners. At the bottom is a button with which you can set the desired weight unit (kg, lb or st). The display has beautiful blue backlit characters.
The scale switches on automatically when you step on it, and then switches off automatically. What is very nice is that the scale (after you have created profiles for you and any family members) recognizes who is on it by weight. That saves you manually selecting your profile every time. Of course, if there are several profiles with approximately the same weight, you still have to select manually. It is also nice that the results are repeated on the display three times after the body analysis, so that you have time to write them down. The scale is very user-friendly and entering your data (gender, age, height, active or not) to create a profile is very simple.
The Inventum PW720BG indicates a lower weight than my old scale, but does so fairly consistently. Of course I don't know which of the two scales is right. The Inventum PW720BG also gives very different results of the body analysis than my old scale. Again, of course, I don't know which of the two scales is closest to the truth, but my old scale was consistent. Unfortunately, the Inventum PW720BG does not. When I have the Inventum perform a body analysis ten times in a row, it shows ten times a different result for fat, muscle and moisture percentage. The differences can even be 1.7%. It is striking that sometimes even the bone mass can differ by 100 or 200 grams. Of course the Inventum PW720BG is not intended for professional use and the results are purely indicative, but that also applies to my old scales.
This is a nice scale for those who want to weigh themselves weekly or less often, but for those who want to weigh themselves daily and keep track of everything accurately, I would not recommend the Inventum PW720BG because it is not very accurate, which makes the results unreliable.
