Comparison

ACCUNIQ BC720 vs Tanita MC-780MA

ACCUNIQ BC720 and Tanita MC-780MA: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.

ACCUNIQ BC720: when to consider it

ACCUNIQ BC720 uses multi-frequency BIA with eight contact electrodes. Results include estimated whole-body and regional fat and muscle for the arms, legs and trunk. BC720 also reports extracellular water and phase angle.

Tanita MC-780MA: when to consider it

MC-780MA is a multi-frequency segmental BIA analyser. The manufacturer catalogue lists fat, muscle and body-water estimates with regional results and SD-card storage. MA alone still does not distinguish the column-mounted P and separate S configurations.
