Every ounce counts. We finally decided to try one of these digital scales for a change. We've always used the manual (non-electric) ones - and been very pleased with those. But, they are a little heavier and for that reason alone, I've left them behind on quite a few trips.

This digital one is feather light. I've left it in the bubble wrap bag it arrived in and put a rubber band around it. Good to go.

It's about the size of a small men's electric razor - but again, very, very light - maybe an ounce I'm guessing or a little more.

I'm impressed with the weight, size and accuracy - it was spot on in terms of weighing our bags. Although I'll likely never need it - this thing is rated to 110 lbs!

Can't speak to it's durability since I just got it but if it holds up and I'm not replacing batteries for a year or two, I'll be happy.
