A “FANTASTIC” smart scale has dropped to $199.99 in RENPHO’s early Black Friday sale, saving shoppers $20 from the original $219.99.
It’s built for anyone who wants more detailed feedback than a run-of-the-mill bathroom scale offers. It measures 50+ metrics, including body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, body water, and metabolic age.
RENPHO MorphoScan Nova Body Composition Analyzer, $199.99 (was $219.99) at RENPHO
Smart bathroom scales measure weight using electrodes, sending a safe, low-level electrical current through the user’s feet that can differentiate between fat and muscle.
The Nova adds a retractable handle with four electrodes (bringing the total on the scale to eight) so that the current runs through your arms and torso as well as your legs.
That allows it to map fat and muscle separately for each arm, each leg, and your torso, so you can spot if one side is doing more work than the other.
Results appear on a 4.3-inch color screen located on the handle, although the RENPHO app must be open and connected for readings to save.
It charges over USB-C, with RENPHO claiming that it lasts up to five months between charges, and stores up to eight user profiles.
The RENPHO Health app is also free in full, with no paywalled metrics or monthly fee, and it syncs with Apple Health and Fitbit.
Some rival smart scales keep your trend data behind a membership, so over a couple of years the gap in real money adds up.

The MorphoScan range is rated 4.8 stars on RENPHO’s site from over 4,000 reviews, and one recent buyer described the Nova as “very accurate” and easy to use.
Another reviewer wrote: “Accuracy has been excellent, consistency is even better, and the app’s design makes the data genuinely easy to understand and act on.
They continued: “[It’s] a fantastic, well-built product that’s clearly designed by people who understand what users actually want from a body composition scale.”
And a third shopper loved the level of insight offered by the scale, but offered a helpful tip: “I like the amount of detail, but I would not recommend trying to understand every metric on day one. Starting with the basics made it much easier.”
This is a consumer wellness device rather than a medical one, so the readings work best to reveal trends over time rather than anything diagnostic.
Shipping is free, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the 18-month warranty only applies to orders placed on renpho.com.
