NewlineNY SBB0718M-NYBK Step-On Mini Travel Bathroom Scale, Cool Black

Received the scale quickly and the quality is very nice and works well. Scale is also accurate and simple to use. The smaller size makes this easy to use and also not get in the way.

I am very pleased with this scale. I bought it because medical issues require that I track weigh changes closely and I did not want to curtail my love of travel. I used this scale at home for a few days alongside my normal, expensive and very accurate scale to test it out. It did weigh about a pound heavier, BUT it weighed the same pound heavier every single time so monitoring changes was the same on either scale. Took it on a 10 day international trip (removed the battery & put in checked luggage in the matching sleeve). It worked great. There is also room in the sleeve to slip a small notepad & pen for recording weight. Checked it against my home scale again when I returned and it was exactly the same as before the trip, so it stands up to travel. It is necessarily small and a bit tricky to balance on, but all I did was steady myself on something for a second then let go to get the reading, which is very fast.

I always have trouble with gaining weight when I travel. Fast food, restaurants, no gym, and being out of my regular routine usually take a toll. I thought that if I could find a scale that fits in my carry-on bag and doesn't take up too much space, I might keep some parts of my routine while I'm not at home. The small size fits in the bag, and it doesn't take up much space. The scale consists of a piece of glass about a quarter of an inch thick with the color attached to the back of the glass. It looks very nice, but I don't care how it looks and bought the neon green one because it was less expensive than the red or black versions. Below the glass, the scale has a foot in each corner that comes out of a white plastic housing. Also underneath is the battery door where you can replace the CR2032 battery if it goes bad. The instructions said that the battery should last three years under normal use. I think that the scale looks to be an inch tall off the floor, not the 0.8" from the specifications, which is the only issue I have with the published specifications.Overall, the scale works well, seems to be accurate and consistent, and made of sturdy quality. It is a little different feeling because of its small size when using the scale, because my toes and heels extend off the sides of the glass. If you can keep your balance, then this shouldn't be an issue. I was having a hard time trying to read the scale while standing on it and keeping my balance until I realized that once it reaches a weight measurement, it will keep the number on the display for a few seconds. Now I just step on, wait a few seconds for the measurement to take, then step back and read the number on the inch high LCD display. Only time will tell if this helps remind me to be healthy while I'm traveling.

This scale fit wonderfully in my travel luggage (that is normally carry-on for a plane). I don’t know how it would go through TSA if you were flying but I have taken it on driving trips and was glad to have it to monitor my weight on a long trip. It is small so if you have large feet you have to be careful.

I purchased this scale because I travel for work and wanted to stick to my goals. It’s compact, travels well, and is accurate. I would recommend.

Mine stopped working last week. Just says ERR when I step onto it. It worked correctly when I was 60+ lbs heavier so it’s not a weight thing. It has a new battery so that isn’t it either.Then I thought, this thing old. How old? I bought it in December 2016. NINE YEARS of service. So it’s done it’s time and I’m going to replace it with another one of the same.The best part about it is that it tucks under the sink so I don’t see it every day. It’s there when I need it but out of sight, out of mine otherwise.TLDR; it’s a really good product with a very long life.

EDIT 5.5 years later: I still have this scale and it still works perfectly. I've only had to replace the battery once since I've owned it.I was researching scales to purchase for my home and was about to order the full size Newline scale when I saw this smaller one at the bottom of the page. In comparing them I saw that they were pretty much exactly the same except the size. Being that I haven't owned a scale because I don't like such an ugly big thing cluttering up my bathroom, this was the perfect solution. It looks nice and is small enough to tuck away in a cabinet.Upon receipt of this scale I was very impressed! Not only was it very affordable and available for purchase with Amazon Prime, so it arrived quickly - it looked great! I bought this expecting to get what I paid for, a little cheap scale that was (hopefully) accurate. But this thing feels like quality. It has that satisfying heft you feel when holding a well made product. The black is under a solid glass surface, adding to it's respectable appearance. I don't think I'll be tucking it away in a cabinet either. I actually opened it in the kitchen when it arrived, and just left it there on the kitchen floor in the corner. I haven't had an issue with using it either. It shows your weight quickly, always on the first try. The smaller size doesn't really affect anything by standing on it, just know that unless you're a small child, your entire foot won't fit on it while standing to get your weight.Overall very satisfied with my purchase.
