Best Black Friday smart scale deals: Which RENPHO Scale to buy

The best Black Friday Smart Scale deal depends on what you want to measure. For weight and basic body composition, an entry-level 4-electrode scale like the RENPHO Elis 1 is enough. To see fat and muscle for each arm, each leg, and your torso — the detail that shows body recomposition or muscle changes during weight loss — choose an 8-electrode RENPHO MorphoScan or MorphoScan Nova. Below, we compare every current RENPHO body scale side by side, with Black Friday prices.

4 electrodes or 8: the most important choice

The number of electrodes decides how much of your body the scale actually measures. A 4-electrode scale passes a small current through your feet and legs and estimates the rest of your body. An 8-electrode scale adds a handle, so the current also passes through your arms and torso.

A 2008 study in Obesity Facts compared foot-to-foot scales with a hand-and-foot device against MRI and DXA reference methods and concluded that the tetrapolar, hand-and-foot electrode arrangement “should be preferred for individual or public use.” Read our full guide to 4-electrode vs 8-electrode Smart Scales.

Which RENPHO scale is right for you?

For simple, reliable tracking: RENPHO Elis 1

The RENPHO Elis 1 Smart Body Scale tracks 13 body measurements, including body fat and visceral fat. It syncs over Bluetooth with Apple Health, Fitbit, Samsung Health, and MyFitnessPal. Powered by 3 AAA batteries, the RENPHO Elis 1 supports unlimited profiles in the app, which makes it a practical first Smart Scale or an easy gift.

For families and pets: RENPHO Elis 2X or Elis Chroma Aspire

The RENPHO Elis 2X adds an extra-large 5-inch screen, baby and pet mode, and athlete mode. The RENPHO Elis Chroma Aspire offers the same family-friendly baby mode and athlete mode, stores up to 8 users, and adds Wi-Fi alongside Bluetooth, so readings sync without your phone nearby.

For a full-color display on a budget: RENPHO Elis Nova

The RENPHO Elis Nova has a 3.5-inch full-color TFT display, reports 18 body metrics in the app, and connects over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Households get plenty of room, too — the RENPHO Elis Nova stores 8 users on the scale and unlimited users in the app.

For segmental body composition: RENPHO MorphoScan

The RENPHO MorphoScan is the lowest-priced way to get 8-electrode, segmental body composition from RENPHO. Using dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, the RENPHO MorphoScan reports more than 50 metrics, including fat and muscle for each arm, each leg, and your torso.

For the most detail on screen: RENPHO MorphoScan Nova

The RENPHO MorphoScan Nova delivers the same 8-electrode measurement and 50+ metrics as the MorphoScan. It moves the readout to a 4.3-inch full-color display in the handle. The RENPHO MorphoScan Nova connects to the RENPHO Health App and runs on a USB-C rechargeable battery rated for up to 5 months per charge. Read our comparison of MorphoScan scales to choose between MorphoScan models, and MorphoScan Nova vs. a DEXA scan to see how a home scale compares with a clinical one.

Match the scale to your goal

How to spot a real Smart Scale deal

1. Compare electrodes and metrics first. A cheap 4-electrode scale is not a bargain if you need segmental data.
2. Buy direct for the longer warranty. RENPHO Smart Scales bought on renpho.com carry an 18-month warranty, with six extra months during the Black Friday period.
3. Check HSA and FSA eligibility. RENPHO lists Smart Scales among its HSA- and FSA-eligible categories — confirm with your plan provider.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Smart Scale to buy on Black Friday?

It depends on your goal. The RENPHO Elis 1 suits basic tracking, while the 8-electrode RENPHO MorphoScan Nova suits anyone who wants to see fat and muscle for each arm, leg, and the torso.

Is an 8-electrode scale worth it?

Yes, for anyone tracking muscle, body recomposition, or changes during weight loss. An 8-electrode scale measures your upper body directly instead of estimating it from your legs.

Do RENPHO scales measure visceral fat?

Yes, on most models. The RENPHO Elis 1, Elis Chroma Aspire, Elis Nova, MorphoScan, and MorphoScan Nova each report a visceral fat reading.

Who should not use a body composition scale?

People with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device should not use a bioelectrical impedance scale. Readings may also be less accurate during pregnancy.
