The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
['The runstar BG1911 is built around a higher than average 550 pound capacity, which sets it apart from the many scales that top out at 400. It uses a tempered glass platform and a backlit LCD that lists accuracy at 0.1 pounds.', 'At a listed weight of about 4.6 pounds, it is on the heavier, more planted side of this group, which can help it feel stable underfoot. The blue and black finish keeps it plain and functional rather than flashy.', 'This is a straightforward weight scale, so it does not include body fat estimates or app syncing. If your main need is a dependable reading with extra capacity, it fits that role well. Remember that any scale gives one snapshot, and a healthcare professional is the right source for guidance about your health.']

Frequently asked questions
How much weight can the runstar BG1911 hold?
runstar lists a 550 pound maximum capacity, which is higher than the 400 pound limit common on many scales. That extra range is the main reason to consider this model.
Does it measure body fat or other body composition metrics?
No. The listing describes it as a weight scale measuring pounds, with no body composition features. If you want body fat or muscle estimates, choose a body composition scale instead.
Is it easy to move around the house?
It weighs about 4.6 pounds, which is heavier than many scales in this group. That can aid stability underfoot but makes it less convenient to carry between rooms.
