NEWLINE NYNewlineNY Black Mini Bathroom Scale + Travel Slip Case SBB-0718MBK+101BG

First to clarify, Weight Watcher staff are members before they can ever become staff. As staff, we are expected to maintain our weight. As you might expect, that is not always easy. I have worked for them for almost 12 years and my weight has been better and worse and recently I became more focused and reached a better employee sanctioned weight. Recently, I was facing a two week vacation to the Florida keys. The idea of how easily I could spin out of control concerned me and I did a search on Amazon for travel scales. I came across this Newline scale with case. I purchased it over a week before leaving and had a chance to validate its consistency and accuracy before leaving town to determine how much faith I should place in the results. I was very pleased with what I saw. I not only compared the scale daily to my home scale, with which I am very familiar, but I also compared it to two weight watcher centers scales which had recently been certified by the government weights and measures. What I found was that on those few singular comparisons, this scale fared very well – AS LONG AS IT WAS NOT ON CARPET. If I recall, no carpet is one of the use instructions that I believe some users ignore. I also compared the scale to my two home scales to establish day to day accuracy. I did this for the whole 10 days I had before the trip. There, I found the scale to still be excellent for my purposes, but I did find that I could get some minor false readings. By this I mean a weight off by less than half a pound. Since I was comparing to two other scales, if I saw a difference, I would reweigh on the travel scale and it would have suddenly corrected itself. From this I learned that it would be best for me to step on more than once each time I weigh myself as the first time I weigh it could be slightly off.I then traveled for two weeks. I weighed myself as I was leaving that morning and threw the scale in my large purse carry on. I was concerned about throwing it in my suitcase as it is glass and I also have no idea what it would look like on an xray scanner and I’d rather not give security an excuse. Regardless, I am glad I bought the optional case. I weighed myself every morning. Every time I weighed myself, I stepped on 3 times. Invariably, all three were either the same or at worst, two out of three were the same. It was great having an indication of how my vacation choices were impacting my weight. I did let out a scream on day 7, but it was still great to know. I continued for the whole two weeks and weighed myself the last morning before throwing the scale back into my carryon for the flight home (day 14 was slightly lower than day 7 thanks to the travel scale). For the two days following the trip, I continued to weigh on the travel scale as well as on my home scales. The travel scale was still spot on and on that second day I was only up less than 1 pound for a whole two week trip. BTW my 6 ft+ husband used the scale every day as well and was to glad to know how his weight was doing.This scale is going to be a permanent addition to my travel accessories. It will be going to France with my next fall.Oh, and lastly, this scale saved me money as the batteries in my travel luggage scale went on the fritz and I used this scale to determine the weight of my suitcases. They weighed 49.5 and 49.6 at check-in. ☺ But before using the scale, one was solidly over 50 pounds and I had to adjust its contents. The fine for over weight bags is either $50 or $75 and I was glad to avoid it.Pros: I think I covered itCons: Some slight variation, but very acceptable to me for its purpose. Also, it can get hard getting used to stepping on and balancing on the scale. Practice makes perfect but I also discovered that, if the scale was about a foot or so from a wall, I can help balance myself with two index fingers pressing into the wall. This does not affect the results on the scale.I love the scale and have been showing it to family, co-workers, as well as members.

Love this scale. Very accurate and easy to use. Also, very lightweight so perfect for traveling.

I like the compact size and accuracy of of the scale the most. Come in handy for work and travel, allowing me to track my weight loss on the go.

Although the scale is small it is good to use. It does seem to be off anywhere from 4 oz to 1.5 lbs off from my larger digital scale. However, I use this scale as my base. I weigh myself every day so I get a pattern..... that is what I use the scale for. I like it and use it every day.

Easy to read and most importantly accurate. Does well in luggage too

The size is ideal for my travels and the weight matches my home scale exactly.

I travel for work and started a new weight loss program where I had to weigh everyday. This was super useful but now it either doesn't turn on or doesn't show the correct weight. I know I've been losing weight but I'm not down to the 100s 🥴 and of course it's just after the return window. If you need it for short term travel then Maybe it's fine. The bag doesn't protect it from changing units and I suspect it also turns on in the case as well. I know it's not the battery because it turns on sometimes.

For those who have struggled with weight loss only to be undone by vacation, this is the thing for you. Not so heavy to carry along, this has given me a great tool to maintain my weight during a 20 day cruise. It is very accurate - checked it against my own scale and the one at WW - think it might be difficult for a man with large feet but for my size 7.5 feet, I can balance very well. Nice cover, too. Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent for traveling.

Balance qui m'a sauvé la vie durant mon voyage.Elle est très pratique. Assez jolie.

For me, it’s too heavy to carry on a trip

solo es un poquito mas grande de lo que parece en las fotos pero afuera de eso sin queja, funciona super bien y es portatil

I love this scale. It is accurate. It is tiny, so you will look like an idiot trying to balance on it, but it's accurate. I travel a lot for work and this is indispensable to me. Goes in my carry-on with laptop. It's heavy, but that's what wheeler bags are for. I'd buy again in a heartbeat.
