The problem with this caliper, is you get a different reading everytime you measure. Why bother to track your body fat when you don't even know for sure which reading is the accurate one, or maybe none of them are. I measured over and over again, and not once did I get the same reading. As far as I'm concerned this was a big waste of money.

I've been following the instruction manual, but the numbers I'm getting are too low. I don't think I'm that fit. Maybe with a little more practice I'll get more accurate numbers, but so far this hasn't helped me much.

It just is too hard to get accurate skinfolds if you are very fat. You will probably do better with a good measuring tape and accurate scale for monitoring fat loss. There are web calculators that you can plug in weight and some tape measurements to get close for a bodyfat percentage.
Plus, for a woman, the triceps site is tricky to do, unless you have a measuring partner.
I'm keeping the calipers for now, in hopes that someday I'll be thinner and able to use them with better results than currently.
Now, the MYOTAPE it comes with, THAT, I LIKE! A great idea and very convenient to use for taking body girth measurements. So my recommendation is to buy the Myotape separately and don't bother with the calipers.
So I'm giving it a three stars, because of the included Myotape. Otherwise, I'd probably give it one or two stars if it was just the calipers.

I bought one last year as it was supposed to be accurate and you could do it yourself. Doing it yourself is misleading as the directions for one of measuring sites for women require you to hold it in your right hand and measure the back of your right tricep. Impossible to do both at the same time. Even with the help of my trainer who is skilled at using calipers it gave widely variable readings and inconsistant results. The feature that takes your % body fat and classifies your level by age never worked. Mine was stuck making the classification by the youngest age group for women. Basically it ignored specific data entered in for age and male/female. I was very disappointed but was fortunate to get my money back.

I just got this thing and I'm happy with it in general, but there is a reference to an "IMPROVE YOUR MEASURING SKILLS" guide that is not included. It is impossible to get reliable results with this tool without a diagram of where to get the measurements. Just saying chest, abdomen, thigh is ridiculously unclear.
It is also somewhat difficult to learn how to pinch fat only. The very first few times you are likely to get crazy results.
I was able to find this manual page on the internet:

It cleared up most of my issues.
