This is a great scale- very light weight. You could easily put it in your suitcase for a business trip. My only issue is that when I step on it two or three times, it will give me two or three weights. Eventually it stabilizes on one. Still, a 2 pound variation from step one to step three is concerning for those of us trying to lose weight. I don't know if it is my bathroom floor or the scale itself. Otherwise, a great, truly portable scale.
