Vitagoods VGP-3000 Digital Body Analyzer Scale Review
Is the VGP-3000 the most underrated bathroom scale around? Perhaps.. it certainly is difficult to find a unit for sale, and it’s very good for it’s price and it packs in a few unique features that others don’t do.
The Good
The feature-set of the VGP-3000 puts other bathroom scales to shame! With it’s ability to monitor weight (duh!), body fat, muscle mass, water weight and bone density, it leaves you wondering what else is even left unmonitored! The accuracy came up spot-on with our test weights, and it performed reasonably well on softer flooring with our testing (though you still can’t use it on carpet). The Vitagoods VGP-3000 Digital Body Analyzer Scale looks great and will fit in to any bathroom pretty well, as long as your bathroom isn’t that old! Setting up the profiles was pretty fool-proof, but we were left scratching our heads when we wanted to undo what we had done (more below).
The Bad
It’s hard to fault the VGP-3000, our biggest gripe is that there is no factory reset or profile reset button. This isn’t really too much of an issue, as you can easily adjust any of the 8 profiles, thereby nulling the need to reset. Still, it feels like Vitagoods could have added a button to the underside to reset profiles and/or the whole device. Additionally, similar scales are available with WiFi, which the VGP-3000 lacks.
Conclusion
Overall, the Vitagoods VGP-3000 Digital Body Analyzer Scale is a fantastic buy for those of you looking for a more advanced bathroom scale. The lack of a reset button is, realistically, a minor issue that can easily be overcome. The features of the scale more than make up for this minor issue. If you’re after a new bathroom scale that can measure bone density(!), this is the one for you.

how do i interpret the readings and what are the objective numbers i should shoot for ?
Hey Paul, that all depends on what your goals are and your starting point. The main goal is to lower (or increase) body fat to a healthy level, while maintaining muscle and bone density.
HOW DO I CHANGE FROM KG TO LB?
Hi Paul, on the back of the scale you’ll find a flat button labeled kg/st/lb. Byressing that button you’ll cycle through the different units of measurement – kilos, stone and pounds.
