253 owner reviews, more than most models here
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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The runstar FG2211 is positioned as more than a weight only scale. Its listing describes weight and biometric data on an LCD display, with stated accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 pounds, set in a glass platform with a grey finish.', 'At a listed weight of about 5.73 pounds, it is one of the heavier units in this group, which can lend a planted feel underfoot. The price is also higher than most of the budget scales here, reflecting its broader feature set.', 'Body composition style figures from any home scale are estimates and can shift with hydration and time of day, so they are best used to spot trends rather than read as exact. For questions about your health, a healthcare professional is the right source.']

What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across roughly 253 ratings points to generally positive reception from a moderate sample. That count is enough to suggest a trend, though it is smaller than the most heavily reviewed scales, so reading a range of recent comments is worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions
What does the runstar FG2211 measure besides weight?
Its listing describes weight along with biometric data. As with any home scale, body metrics are estimates and are most useful for tracking trends over time rather than as exact values.
How accurate is the weight reading?
runstar lists accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 pounds for weight, which is typical for a household digital scale. Standing still on a hard, level floor tends to give the steadiest result.
Is it worth the higher price?
That depends on whether you want the extra biometric readings. If you only need a quick weight number, simpler and cheaper scales in this group will do that job.
