Since my wife always has to carry a complete wardrobe on holidays for some reason (I have to hold the cases on bathroom scales), she ordered this as soon as she saw it. I have a few minor reservations: (1) will it display the excessive amounts that SOME people seem to think they'll need for a fortnight in a warm country where you don't wear much anyway? and (2) an on/off switch isn't provided, so the batteries have to be removed to switch it off. Why sell/use a battery-operated balance anyway? It would seem just as practical to use a basic 'spring-scale' type that I'm sure we all used in physics classes at school. Perhaps that wouldn't have the "wow" factor of an LCD digital readout (or the same sort of profit for the manufacturer).

I travel very regularly and the only carriers from my airport are low cost so I ALWAY have the pre-flight luggage weight stress. That was until I discovered these wonderful scales. They are easy to use - you just clip them around the handle, pick up the luggage, wait for the beep (3 secs) and the weight is recorded. I have found that they are accurate to within about 0.2 of the airport scales.
I highly recommend these - buy them you won't be disappointed!

I'll never forget standing at a check-in desk, about 300 impatient holiday makers in the queue behind me, being told that my luggage was over weight and I'd have to pay £7.50 per kilo. The embarrassment of trying to redistribute the excess with an ever increasing amount of tutting, sighing & foot tapping from the irritable throng behind, was an experience I swore there and then I'd never endure again.
So when I saw Digital Luggage Scales I knew they were for me. They arrived promptly after ordering and I was pleasantly surprised to find they came equipped with the necessary batteries.
I imagined that there would be some sort of time consuming setting up procedure to go through (as most things with digital in the name seem to require), but to my relief, it was just simply plug and weigh. Plug in the batteries and you're away.
Using the scale is simplicity itself and it is compact enough to take along, so the return journey can be just as check-in friendly as the outbound. I can't recommend this product highly enough, so simple and user friendly.
My days of standing on the bathroom scale struggling to see the readout flicking back and forth and thankfully over and I now stride up to the check-in desk full of confidence that it is no longer going to be me causing the huge backlog of impatient travellers.
