What I liked most is the small size: what I liked the least is the way you have to lift the suitcase to get a reading. I had a 50lb suitcase and lifting it in front of you with both hands while trying to read the led screen was awkward. Once I got the bag lifted up I heard a pop in my back and its never been the same, and that was 3 months ago. You would be better off, especially with heavy bags, to weigh yourself then weigh yourself holding the suitcase.
