There is nothing I like about this product. The little hook at the bottom, which you are supposed to hang your suitcase or bag onto, is too little to fit most suitcase handles. I had to put a strap around the handle to weigh my suitcase. To lift a heavy suitcase by putting a couple of fingers into the little ring on the top, will for most of us be impossible. I hardly got it of the floor and it did not feel good in my fingers. Yes, you can probaly lift it by a coat hanger or something, but I want a functional tool where I don't need to remember to carry extra stuff to use it. I used it once, threw it in the bin, and purchased one with a good handle and a hook that is big enough to fit the handle of my suitcase.
I SEE NOW THAT THE PICTURE HAS CHANGED, THE SCALES NOW SEEM TO HAVE A LARGE HANDLE AND A STRAP TO PUT THROUGH YOUR LUGAGE HANDLE. THESE CHANGES MUST HAVE IMPROVED THE PRACTICALLITY OF THIS ITEM IMMENSELY. MAYBE THE PRODUCERS READ MY REVIEW!? ;-)
