Tanita Corporation introduces its new mini scale, the 1579D. Its smooth design and thin pocket size allow for easy storage and traveling, and its five-digit reverse blue-backlit display ensures easy visibility in any location.

It includes lithium-battery and AC-adapter power options and provides accurate results in six weighing modes: grains, grams, ounces, troy ounces, penny weights and carat.

A hard carrying case ensures that the weighing tray is not pressured while the scale is being transported, and the product is backed by a two-year guarantee. Price: $200. Contact Tanita Corporation of America, www.miniscale.us
