If I order a product in the integrated battery, I expect that I can use the product immediately. If, however, the only indication on the scale LO, low battery, it's really disappointing, especially for the price ... Otherwise, the scale is color-pleasant, very light and come with a protective case. It is of course small and weighing therefore a "matter of practice", since men can have slight difficulties with big feet. Still not bad for travel. One has to expect only small "teething problems" halt.
