Can this scale be considered portable?

very much so. The two plastic trays and the original box provide excellant protection, and is smaller then a paperback novel. Exellant scale. You will need a 200 and a 500 gram calibration weight for best accuracy. Enjpy G.R.D.

Yes! I would be relatively careful with it but as long as it doesn't get shook around a bunch its definitely small enough and durable enough to be portable.

It is portable, if you are an adult. It is not terribly heavy, but because of the impressive size, it can be a bit awkward. I love mine.

There is a weighing pad that connect to the display. You can put it anywhere, easy to use. Love ours.

Yes, I weigh alot and have had this little scale for quite awhile. Use a cup or bowl and tare it out. Works great!

No, I wouldn't do that....unless you remove the battery. You would have to allow it to recalibrate if you did. It is kind of wide, so you need some floor space to keep it. I store mine under a bathroom bench and pull it out when I need to weigh.

Yes. It is portable. However, its a pain to set up and take down. I threw my back out trying to put it up. The long skinny pole that is flexible breaks easily and you need this so it will stay up. Good Luck.

I would say it's not terribly portable. It is rather lightweight, but tall and bulky. I certainly would not want to take it apart and re-assemble it. Putting it together was not fun and I would not want to deal with that over and over.

Yes, it is portable. We kept our box and use it to transport to hotels. However, you have to confirm that the feet will reach the bathroom floor wherever you take it to. For this reason, we bought short bed risers to put under the feet.

I don't see why not. It is very easy to move around. One of the things I liked about it was the portability.

Hi Andie. I actually purchased the seat for a my youngest grandchild, that lives in another state. So I wouldn't actually know how portable it is.

For portability, if you are ok with the weight and dimensions (since this is a bit larger than regular scales), then I think taking it in and out of a bag on a regular basis should be ok.Be careful about one thing - the scale rests on four little circular rubber feet. After a while, the feed have a tendency to come out. Keep an eye out for them, and if they do come out, you can glue them back to the scale.

I only have this for personal use so I cant really say what a professional could do. But it is portable.

Sort of. If you completely force two panels together it is very difficult to separate them. If you left it only halfway together in two places, it would be portable. But then it's not as sturdy.

Depending on your area, it might not be compliant with county weights and measures. The reason being is that the scale cannot be calibrated. It is factory set and cannot be altered.

This scale and the glass is quite sturdy. Standing on it poses no problems at all; however, I can't say how this would hold up under heavy moving. I think as long as you pack it well, it should be fine. Hope this helps!

I'm sure it can. This scale is highly accurate, the only limitation would be the maximum capacity for the scale which is 11lbs. Package size may also be a limitation as it is rather small and may limit visibility to the display. I have trouble with it while trying to use a plate to weigh my food, so imagine using it for a package.

Not really. It's too large to be portable. It's a nice product and a GREAT value but not really ideal to knock down and set back up.
