I've used this scale now a few times and so far, I remain somewhat unimpressed.  First (and most importantly), the scale is not always accurate.  I would say that it's only accurate about 85% of the time.  This could be due to a number of variables (including my own ignorance of how to properly hold the scale) but when using it, remember to test the weight several times.  The other thing is that the hook is a little small to fit around my suitcase's handle.  However, the scale is very light weight and compact which is optimal for a travel scale.  Additionally, the screen is easy to read and bright enough to read even in low lighting.  The battery also seems to have a long life span.
