The Elis 1 is Renpho's best seller and the cheapest scale on this list at $24.99. It uses 4 electrodes to estimate 13 metrics, including weight, BMI, BMR, metabolic age, body fat, visceral and subcutaneous fat, muscle, skeletal muscle, body water, bone and protein mass, according to Renpho's comparison chart. Only weight appears on the scale itself; everything else is in the Renpho Health app, which supports unlimited user profiles and can print a body composition report. Sync is over Bluetooth, so your phone needs to be in range when you step on. The data then flows to Apple Health, Fitbit, Samsung Health and MyFitnessPal, the broadest set of partner apps on this list. The scale handles up to 400 lb and runs on 3 AAA batteries that come in the box, with an 18-month warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee from Renpho. There is no Wi-Fi and no color screen, but for under $25 it covers the basics well.
