I bought this scale 2 1/2  years,ago and have taken it on many trips to weigh my luggage before I got to the airport. The scale was true to weight. Unfortunately I lost the first one and luckly since I purchased the first from Amazon I was able to look it up under my past orders and reorder. I have no regrets on this order or the scale in  past order. Ive told all friends and family about this great gadget!
