The perfect portable scale  attractive enough to keep out, or easy to carry with the built in handle. Plus, the scale is extra slim so it is easy to tuck away. The handle is covered with a rubberized finish that is soft to the touch. It is very easy to read the 2.0 jumbo display which is accented by a blue Accu-Glo readout. A super high 440 lb capacity still reads in precise increments of 0.2 lbs. Instant on technology means no waiting or tapping to start the scale  just step on to get the weight reading. Runs on alkaline batteries, which are included.
