231 owner reviews, fewer 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 FG2422 is a body weight scale set on a tempered glass platform with an LED display. Its black and gold finish leans toward a more decorative look than the typical bathroom scale.', 'Runstar lists a stated resolution of 0.1 pounds and a maximum capacity of 400 pounds, which covers most adult users. The scale weighs about 1.9 pounds, so it stays easy to handle and store.', 'At roughly 90 dollars it is priced well above most weight only scales, so the main question is whether the finish and fine resolution justify the premium. Either way, a home scale tracks your weight trend and is not a medical instrument.']

The FG2422 pairs an LED display with a stated 0.1 pound resolution and a 400 pound capacity on a tempered glass base. Its light 1.9 pound body makes it easy to move. The measurement units are not listed, and these figures come from the manufacturer rather than any testing.
What buyers say
The scale shows a 4.5 star average across about 231 reviews. That is a positive score, though the smaller review count means the rating is less settled than on a heavily reviewed model.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the Runstar FG2422 cost more than a typical scale?
It uses a tempered glass platform with a decorative black and gold finish and lists a fine 0.1 pound resolution. Whether that justifies the higher price depends on how much you value the look and feel.
What is its weight capacity?
Runstar lists a maximum capacity of 400 pounds, which suits the large majority of adult users. If you need more headroom, look for a model rated above that figure.
Does it measure body fat?
The listing does not mention body composition readings, so treat it as a weight only scale. For body fat estimates, choose a model that offers them, and consult a healthcare professional for any health concerns.
