A tad expensive and heavier then I expected, it does seem to do the job accurately.  The strap (to tackle onto the suitcase) is a better device then a hook, but it's difficult to secure.  I wouldn't carry the device with me while traveling as it isn't small nor light.  I like that you can lift the suitcase using two hands if necessary, the scale beeps and you know you have a weigh read-out and you can place the case down to see the reading.  It does have a comfortable grip.  It was aggravating that even though I purchased the scale from Amazon I still had to pay shipping costs as it wasn't eligible for free shipping.
