4 weeks in Europe August, 2011
By Charlyle P., FL in September, 2011
•   This has been an invaluable travel item. It has proven its accuracy and I never worry about what our bags weighs.

  Not worth the money...
By Vincent I., AZ in September, 2011
•   Used the scale approx 6 times on luggage that weighed under 40 pounds and was not able to use the scale again.
After a vacation trip, were gift items were added to our lugguage, we weighed our luggage using this item and everything seemed fine... we were still under the 50 pound limit.
When confronted at check-in for overweight luggage... I pulled our handy dandy scale to recheck the weight when we discovered the red hand (actual weight of luggage) indicator started to move to the left of "0" as a starting point. This ment the true weight of our luggage was actually more than indicated by the black hand.
Needless to say the luggage scale ended up in the airlines trash can.
Short story.... If you don't want to throw your money away, don't purchase this product.

  Luggage Scale
By Leslie L., AB in June, 2011
•   The scale saved us from guessing the weight of our luggage - one less headache on our trip. Other passengers told us they had to repack bags at the check-in counter. What a pain that would have been!

  A Good Scale
By David S., CA in May, 2011
•   This hand held scale is a necessary item for today's traveler. This scale is light enough to carry with you and yet sturdy enough to get the job done.

  I love this
By Sarah H., IL in March, 2011
•   It help me out a lot. I got it and it helps. I am going with a group and I am going to let the group to use it so none of them go over the limet.

  Liked It
By Ann S., NY in February, 2011
•   This proved to be very accurate and easy to use. Have already recommended to a couple friends. It packed compactly also for the return trip with all the extra's I had purchased.

By Anonymous in February, 2011
•   i like that i can carry it anywhere even when I am shopping for luggage so i can make my decision based on a luggage's empty weight. it is very practical.

  We won't travel again without it.
By Stephanie M., AR in January, 2011
•   We weighed our bag on the way to the airport for our outgoing flight and it came in at 40 pounds. We took the scale with us and weighed our bag for the return flight and we were up to 54 pounds. Who new a few small souvenirs would weight that much. It already paid for itself by saving us the overweight charge. Very easy to use.

  peace of mind
By Retha F., CO in November, 2010
•   Part of our trip required our luggage weigh no more than 25lbs. Good product, good price.

  A Handy Thing
By Janet C., NS in October, 2010
•   This really came in handy not only travelling to our destination but especially when returning home with many more items than we took with us. We compared what this scale told us our luggage weighed with what it weighed on the airport scales.....almost bang on. Plus it doesn't take up much room in a suitcase.

  Broke during first trip
By Brian M., CA in September, 2010
•   The indicator needle broke during our first trip. We're not sure how, but it was useless for the return journey. It doesn't seem very durable. Magellan's tried to upsell us to a digital scale (I don't want to deal with batteries), then sent a free replacement quickly. We'll see how it holds up.

  Absolute necessity!
By Nelle R., PA in August, 2010
•   My daughter took me to Belgium and we couldn't have managed without this luggage scale. In fact, she ended up with it at the end of the journey. I have to order another one!

  Highly Functional
By George P., CA in August, 2010
•   Fantastic, practical, and very functional. Took with me to International Terminal at LAX when wife was going to Philippines and showed it to Airline Ticket Representative. He didn't even look at Airline scale as, I guess, didn't want to debate the luggage weights.

  Finally peace of mind!
By Ariel L., GA in July, 2010
•   This scale is a must for anyone who travels by air. With all the fees that you may incure if luggage is too heavy, this scale is a great investment of $10. We take it with us, it's light and takes very little space.

  Useful overseas
By Tom P., WA in July, 2010
•   I purchased the scale before a trip to Turkey and Greece because of a warning that flights within Turkey had a 33 lb limit. We ended up using it to weight all luggage for 25 travelers. It was simple, straight forward and light. Our tour director loved it so much I gave it to her and bought another for me on return to the US,

  Serves it's purpose, but way too large
By Sara F., NY in July, 2010
•   This device is quite large compared to what I expected, but it seems like it's very good quality. I like the function of the extra dial to mark the weight!

  Seems accurate and lighterweight than many
By Savta B., CO in July, 2010
•   We purchased this scale for use on our upcoming trip to Israel. My husband has weighed many items and it seems accurate. We're happy with it and hope it will prevent an expensive packing error!

  Good while it lasts
By Tom O., CA in July, 2010
•   For the price, this is a lightweight and reasonably accurate scale (if you lift slowly). The hook for lifting luggage sometimes slips off but it's not a problem if you are careful. The knob to reset fell off mine after a few months. I could push it on to reset still. Last year it started showing too much compared to airport scales, now it resets to 5 lb. too light. For the money, OK if you don't mind replacing it every few years. I'm replacing with one more expensive but (I hope) durable.

  spot on
By Anonymous in July, 2010
•   easy to use and right on the money. larger than it looks in the pic.

  Worked just fine
By Marianne D., MD in June, 2010
•   Unless you want to weigh your luggage to the ounce, this inexpensive scale is great. We had never owned a luggage scale before but decided we'd better take one to weigh our luggage before we left for Europe. Glad we did - our luggage weight gave us pounds to spare. When we got to the airport to have our luggage weighed there, we found out that the scale was right on. You can't beat the price, either.

  Luggage Scale is a must when you travel and shop.
By Nancy T., CA in June, 2010
•   I always take mine on a trip and pass it around for my group of friends, to make sure no one is over weight. It is quick and fast and better than the digital.

  useful scale
By William S., CT in June, 2010
•   Perfect for airline travel in multiple countries

  No guessing
By Carol A., MI in June, 2010
•   This takes the guess work out of the weight of my suitcase. Standing on the bathroom scale, holding my suitcase, is way too difficult.

  Great invention!
By Traveling F., VA in May, 2010
•   This is a real lifesaver when extra fees could be involved. Packs easily, and is much easier to use than a standard scale.

  luggage scale
By Barbara B., PA in May, 2010
•   I bought the luggage scale for a friend. He thinks it is great.

  Lifesaver!
By Theresa C., VA in April, 2010
•   The luggage scale is light and very easy to use. We just finished a 10 day pre- and post cruise vacation and the scale was a lifesaver in that it allowed us to move things from bag to bag to stay under the weight limit!

  Luggage scale
By Marilynn T., MI in March, 2010
•   Easy to read and vital to saving money on my travel.

  luggage scale
By albert l., FL in March, 2010
•   Its simple and easy to use

  Thank goodness for this scale!
By Amanda S., OH in March, 2010
•   I bought this for a two week trip to Israel. I'm glad I had it while packing. I was able to see how much my bag I was checking was going to weight and distribute any extra weight into my carry on. It was nice to know how much my bags weighed *before* getting to the airport.

  Essential for traveling
By Sharon G., PA in March, 2010
•   Easy to use and read. Weighed items approximately 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. less of actual scale weight. Came in very handy as we had six flights and a train and all had different requirements on checked and carry on luggage.

  Great little packing helper!
By Judy M., AR in February, 2010
•   Oh, I love this scale, love it, love it, love it. Why did live and travel without it? I'd give it 10 kisses if that was on the ratings!

  luggage scale
By Michele W., NY in February, 2010
•   It is a bit awkward to use, especially if the suitcase weighs more than 20 lbs. packed.

  Next time we will know
By Anonymous in February, 2010
•   Each time we travel we leave home with the correct weight for our baggage, but as we add purchases there is always a question as to if we will be overweight. So we purchased a second scale small enough to take with us and look forward to using it.

  luggage scale
By Barbara N., NY in January, 2010
•   This is a great way to check luggage weight. It works much better than trying to weigh luggage on a bathroom scale.

  Best Purchase!
By K G., VA in January, 2010
•   This scale has saved me from overlimit fees or having to redistribute contents at the airport and paid for itself the first trip. I find it to be as accurate as the airline scale. No problems using it or packing it. Very easy to use.

  extremley handy
By Linda S., NC in January, 2010
•   We are leaving for a trip to Egypt and luggage weight is a big issue - this has proven to be a wonderful tool, easy to use, accurate, a necessity if traveling abroad

  Money Savings Product.
By Kirit P., NJ in January, 2010
•   As now all AirLines are very strict on weight for your luggage, we bought this scale and it helps us a lot so we used this scale quite often before taking any air trip.

  Luggage Scale
By Joanne E., WA in January, 2010
•   Disappointed in this luggage scale as it is not very accurate. It was at least 2# off from the airline weight scale. Not a big deal but still it would be nice if it were accurate. Now I have to add at least 2# when I weigh my luggage and am still not sure if I will be within weight. Always a doubt.

  Great gadget, great price
By Jennifer F., LA in December, 2009
•   Easy to use, handy to have. Place the hook on your luggage handle and pick it up using the scale. The red line stays on the amount your luggage weighs. I found it to be very accurate. Even packed it with me to prevent any return home suprises. No thank you, I do NOT want to pay extra for my over-the-limit luggage. I purchased these for my friends for Christmas!

  Great Item!!
By Eleanor W., AE in December, 2009
•   I LOVE this scale--it's already saved us hundreds in overweight charges just by telling us to switch items from one bag to another! I've given several as gifts and they're very well received.

  Saved a lot of money on this.
By Charlotte S., AZ in December, 2009
•   I bought this when I was going on a cruise. When I was returning it saved me over $50. on overage baggage. I managed to readjust my luggage so as not to be overweight. I then bought several as stocking stuffers for family and friends. I know they will be equally as happy as I.

  That luggage scale is the best.
By Brenda S., AB in December, 2009
•   We just got back from a cruise out of San Juan and used the scale both ways on the trip. It was so nice to check our luggage and not have to worry about how much they weighed. The lady at the check-in was very impressed that our suitcases were 45 lb. each. It sure takes the stress out a major luggage problem. Thanks. Brenda

  small luggage scale
By Louie K., MD in December, 2009
•   Was impressed by small yet adequate size, but when used it gives different results everytime. I used gym weights to test accuracy but it sometimes gives correct weight, and other times it will give lower scale reading. When used with luggage it gives ball park figure within 5-7 lbs.

  Has Saved Us Many Times!
By Eleanor W., AE in November, 2009
•   My husband and I recently relocated to Europe. This scale accurately weighed our bags heading out (saving us hundreds in overweight charges as we shifted items from bag to bag) and I expect it will save us even more on short haul trips within Europe over the next few years. A great product!

  One of the best under $10 gifts I've ever received
By Bonita H., TX in November, 2009
•   My son gave one to me in my Christmas stocking. I carry it with me when I travel. Can weigh and shift items in luggage before you get to the airport. No batteries are needed and it makes a nice gift for male or female friends who travel.

  Luggage scale
By Roberta D., VA in November, 2009
•   I bought two of these--having had one stolen by an adult child! One is for me, the other for another adult child who is threatening to steal any I might buy! They are the greatest, especially when size and weight is so important at the airports.

  worked at first
By dee j., TX in November, 2009
•   After a few trips it starts to be less accurate. I will have to buy a different one now.

  Pays for itself
By Bess M., MD in October, 2009
•   High overweight luggage fees (not to mention inaccurate airport scales) mean that this device is cheap at the price. It is easy to use, and I have even used it to weigh packages to be mailed by hooking through two bungee cords.

  It can save you money.
By Paula B., CA in October, 2009
•   With airlines getting more restrictive with checked bags, you really need this. I have tried using my bathroom scales and its too difficult to see the weight when the bag is on the scale. This is great.

  Money Saver
By Charlotte S., AZ in October, 2009
•   I purchased this scale several months ago. Took it on a cruise with me and saved money on my luggage as one of my bags would have been overweight had I not checked it with the scale. I liked it so much I bought a second one for a friend.

  Good product for the money
By Dee S., NC in October, 2009
•   I expected a little lee-way in weight , but was surprised to read in the instructions "plus or minus 2 pounds." That can make quite a bit of difference with airline restrictions getting tighter all the time. Still, this is a good product and the tape measure in both centimeters and inches is handy.

  scale
By Pam P., NY in October, 2009
•   Scale did not work as expected. It was approx 5 lbs off when compared to regular scale and airport scale. I am returning it....

  Won't Travel Without It!
By Kathryn G., MI in September, 2009
•   Absolutely LOVED this scale - it sure paid for more than it's moderate price on our first trip! With the way they charge for overweight bags now, this scale is a MUST! I won't travel without it and tell everyone where I got it! The measuring tape has also come in handy and was a great addition to an already outstanding product!

  Great to save on extra charges for overweight bags!
By Julie K., IL in September, 2009
•   This saved me from overweight baggage charges. One bag was over and the other under. I was able to redistribute some items and save the additional costs.

  travel scale
By Charles B., IL in September, 2009
•   Works great, very accurate. Friends I traveled with all used it. Scale weight was the same as airline scale. Scale is small, light and very easy to use.

  Good
By Janet W., AZ in September, 2009
•   Was great to leave home knowing we were not overweight with our
luggage!

  Great luggage scale!
By Jonathan R., NC in September, 2009
•   This is a compact, easy to use and accurate luggage scale! Perfect for those who like to travel and sometimes travel heavy, needing precise weights for their luggage before leaving home and being forced to paw through your bag in a crowded airport checkin!

  Excellent luggage scale.
By Linda H., OH in August, 2009
•   It's just as advertised. Simple to use. Is helping me to know how much to pack before I go over the 50 lb limit.

  A mandatory item.
By Susan B., WV in August, 2009
•   I got zapped in Italy with an overweight bag to the tune of $50.00. If I had only known to redistribute the weight from my bag to my husband's, the overage never would have occurred. This item will pay for itself. Trust me.

  A Great Update
By T H., MI in August, 2009
•   This scale was inaddition to the old one I had but the old one did not have the black dial to record the weight. Great invention no over weight fees for me.

  Must have this
By Linda T., TX in August, 2009
•   While you can weigh your baggage before you leave home for the airport, you are at a loss when packing to return home from the resort. With extra baggage fees increasing daily, this can pay for itself with its first use. You have to be able to pick up 50 pounds or so for a full suitcase. The dial records the weight so you can see it after you set down the case. I would advise to leave a few pounds leaway as we were a few pounds over at the airport, and it seemed right on by using the scale.

  Handy Gadget
By Anonymous in August, 2009
•   Saved me money going and coming back from my trip to Bermuda.

  Luggage Scale
By Dianne E., SC in July, 2009
•   I love this product! I travel extensively so my daughter introduced me to this handy little gadget since she knew I tended to overpack. The airlines have such strict rules about luggage weight, and in the past I'd been charged extra fees for my bags. I'd found that using a bathroom scale was clumsy and not very accurate but with this luggage scale, I am able to hook the scale to my luggage and lift it myself. The scale is easy to read and accurate so I don't have to worry about surprise fees!

  Time saver!
By Betsie Z., GA in July, 2009
•   This scale is so easy to use--much better than balancing a large suitcase on the bathroom scale! Could easily be thrown in the pocket of a suitcase to ensure it's not too heavy with souvenirs on the trip home, too! :)

  save scrambles at the checkin counter
By Oscar Z., TX in July, 2009
•   After occasional embarassing shuffles at airport ticket counters when our bags were a bit overweight, we decided to buy a luggage scale. It beats awkward estimates of baggage weight like standing on the bathroom scales at home and deducting your own weight from the total. This scale was spot-on; the reading matched the airline digital scale to the tenth of a pound. Has a nifty resettable hand to keep the weight reading so you're not trying to read the scale while hoisting the bag, packs light

  A satisfied "repeat" customer
By Paul K., ON in July, 2009
•   Like on previous occasions I am fully satisfied with the quality of of the purchased products, as well as, with the efficient, prompt and excellent service provided by the Magellan's Company .
As a satisfied customer I am determined to recommend the use of of Magellan's services, any/every time a friend, relative and/or acquaintance has travel supply needs.

  Avoid Luggage Overweight Surcharges with Lightweight Scale
By Gary B., OH in July, 2009
•   Outgoing you can check to be sure your baggage is within "free" limits. Before returning reweigh and include your treasured acquisitions. Easily spot excess and arrange to ship home by FedEx or other carrier cheaper than your airline's surcharges for weight limit overage. Easily could "pay for your investment."

  Luggage Scale
By Claudia J., CO in July, 2009
•   I think this will really be a help with our traveling, especially when going scuba diving, to control our weight allowance.

  Good tool for today's travel
By Myrna B., AZ in July, 2009
•   Helps to make packing less problematic when you know how much weight you are accumulating. Great to take with you also, so you don't over-buy at your destination.

  Luggage Scale
By Nancy T., CA in July, 2009
•   This is a must for travelers who like to shop, in watching yourweight. I always carry it for my group travels also, to make surethey are not overweight for their flights. It works faster than a digital.

  MUST HAVE!
By d p., CA in June, 2009
•   This little item is a god send for travelers in todays airline weight madness world. It is light and portable, weighs accuratly, measeures the size----no more surprises at the airport for over weight baggage. Its a MUST have!

  My Luggage Scale from Magellan's
By Elizabeth C., TN in June, 2009
•   Oh, I do love this luggage scale! It is built solidly, and easy to handle. The tape measure feature is wonderful. It's right there so one doesn't have to go searching. And the scale is calibrated and weighs in both pounds and kilograms. All in one light weight handy little instrument! How neat is that? And the cost was very good. The delivery of my luggage scale was rapid. I love Magellan's and am sooo glad I found it.

  Scale
By Jennifer F., LA in June, 2009
•   Inexpensive, no batteries required, sturdy and easy to use. Simply hook the scale onto your luggage and lift. Put your luggage back down. The scale will leave the black line to show the weight of your luggage. Simply turn the dial to reset back to zero. Very handy!

  Very pleased
By Sue Ellen S., TX in June, 2009
•   The scale worked effectively and was within four pounds of the airline scales.

  Luggage Scale
By Chris S., MN in May, 2009
•   Highly recommend. Great little tool for the price. I actually bought this as a joke for one of my friends who always overpacks and is over the weight limit of 50 lbs. Four of us weighed our bags before we got to the airport, and they were exactly the same as the airport scale. It was great, and much easier rearranging your luggage before you get to the airport to avoid any extra baggage fees.

  Luggage Scales are great!
By Emelda W., AR in May, 2009
•   I give these scales away to my clients.

  Sharon speaks of the weight/measurer
By sharon w., WI in May, 2009
•   Great product, actually much nicer in person than in the ad, easy to use, came in handy...should have had one a long time ago. The company was great and it arrived in record time

  money saver
By Richard F., KS in April, 2009
•   The luggage scale is a great way to make sure the airlines don't charge for over weight bags when you arrive at the airport and can't do anything about it. Before we stood on our bathroom scales and made an estimate of the weight. Now the scale is so easy to use and accurate.

  Luggage Scale
By Jean M., AZ in April, 2009
•   Great product. With all of the restrictions at the airport, we weigh our luggage beforehand so we don't have problems when we check in. It is very accurate and well worth the investment.

  Luggage scales
By Judie P., CA in April, 2009
•   this is a handy little gadget that only cost $9.95. With airline now being so strict to size and weight, every family that travels should purchase this easy to use and read luggage scale.

  very useful gadget
By Deborah O., CA in April, 2009
•   I purchased this as a gift, since I already had one. It is not only great for luggage, but it is great for weighing and measuring boxes for shipping too. It is really useful when dividing up the packing so that the luggage is of more equal weight. The tape measure comes in handy when you least expect it.

  Looks like it will work fine
By Pat W., AR in April, 2009
•   Haven't actually used it yet but tested it and looks like it will work just fine. Should come in handy when packing.

  Luggage scale
By Sandy C., CO in March, 2009
•   This little gadget is one of the BEST purchases I have ever made! My husband and I scuba dive all over the world and we actually travel with the scales so we don't overload our luggage! We find it so great that we've actually purchased several other as gifts to our family members and friends!

  Hand-held Luggage Scales
By Sally P., AL in March, 2009
•   These were extremely helpful, as we had been told we could only have a certain amount of weight per suitcase on our tour of Australia and New Zealand.

  Portable Luggage Scale
By Elle K., NY in March, 2009
•   Purchased this and another scale (electronic) from Magellan and find them both so useful. The electronic one I use to quickly determine how much overweight my luggage is. The manual one, with the hook and attached measuring tape, allows me to check the luggage piece dimensions in addition to indicating the weight and is very easy to take along on vacations. This way you have no surprises going or coming back from trips!

  Extremely Accurate
By Brian S., IL in February, 2009
•   I've had one of these for a few years now. It really saved me a lot of time and effort organizing items in each bag to meet airline weight requirements. Rugged and Durable. It is also surprisingly accurate. I've usually been getting within 2 lbs. or less compared to the weights on the airport scales.

  Couldn't be better
By Kay J., AZ in February, 2009
•   Lightweight, well designed, easy to use and NO BATTERIES! Pays for itself many times over with one use. Bought one for myself, one for my son. Highly recommended.

  Luggage scale
By Robert M., CA in February, 2009
•   I was hit (once) for overweight luggage and use this very convenient, easy to read scale to prevent it happening again. Between travels, however, I make daily use of the scale to measure supplemental rations for my horses - I just leave it hanging from my tackroom ceiling and hang it to the side when not in use - super useful and convenient!!!

  Used to be accurate, now we guess
By Margaret M., IT in February, 2009
•   We've had this scale for about two years now, and it used to be pretty accurate. We travel extensively around the world and weigh every piece of luggage before every flight-on an international flight an overweight bag could cost you hundreds of dollars. For about the last year the scale has been off about 5-7lbs, which is significant when packing right up to the limit. Knowing this we have started to pack our bags light, but will be investing in a more accurate scale next trip home.

  handy baggage scale
By Iris S., NY in January, 2009
•   This hand-held baggage scale is easy to use - simply lift the item using the hook. Results are clear, easy to see and moveable. No more lugging suitcases to the scale!

  Great scale except for a little defect with the tape
By Peri, FL in January, 2009
•   Pros: No batteries needed, lightweight, easy to use with the second needle recording the weight for reading after you put down the bag. Quite accurate ... has matched the airport scales every time. Problem: I bought three (two Xmas gifts and one for me). Two were fine but the third had only a 19 inch tape measure even though the sticker says 39 inches. 19 inches is not that useful for measuring carry-ons!

  Good while it lasts
By Anonymous in January, 2009
•   I bought this scale about 2-3 years ago and was quite satisfied with it, until.....one fine day this past August I tried to weigh my not-very-heavy suitcase and the whole scale just flew apart into many pieces. I was expecting more than just a couple of years of use out of the scale.

  big help
By betsy s., GA in December, 2008
•   This is the most helpfull thing i have bought in a long time. completely elemenates the standing at the Delta counter moving items from one bag to the other to keep each bag under the 50 pounds. Because I have used my new Maggellan luggage scale and the weight is correct

  Big WOW from Little Gift
By Sherry B., CA in December, 2008
•   One traveler tells another and suddenly everyone has this handy luggage scale, a real hit with our globetrotting friends. It was the most popular gift at an annual party, and the talk of our team at the airport in Tokyo. Airline regulations change too often to travel without this item. I give it five stars.

  great product
By Adrian in December, 2008
•   It is a very useful tool for us - it works impeccably, the handle is comfortable to the hand for lifting, and it arrived very fast, as usually.
Thank you!

  easy to use luggage scale
By Eunice B., AL in December, 2008
•   I found that this scale was easy to use. I really liked that I did not have to look at the scale while I was holding the luggage. The little hand points to the weight until you zero it.

  Excellent purchase for international trip
By Anonymous in December, 2008
•   With all the limits on baggage weights and costs for overweight bags, this was a terrific investment for our most recent trip. The airline was very strict about carry-on bags (15 lbs max). This scale is light and easy to use for people who can lift their own bags. Helped us to redistribute luggage prior to going to the airport so that all our bags were below the maximum weight.

  works great
By Anonymous in December, 2008
•   I used it on my last trip and it really did save money at the airport for extra charges.

  Liked it!
By Jay W., CA in November, 2008
•   I am an amature packer, and I bought the scale to make sure my donkey's load is equal on both sides. It is simple, easy to use and does not require batteries,. I used it to weigh my friend's bicycle before a race, and soon everyone was coming over to get their bike weighed too. Next time I travel, I might even use it to weigh my luggage!

  Mike
By Michael G., IL in November, 2008
•   I do some traveling (3 trips per year ) with airlines becoming more butt like each year this scale is GREAT easy to use ,just lift slowly . keeps the weight so you dont have to have a kitten trying to see what it says. And accruate showed the same weight as airline scale. if you travel and worry about weight ( I bring scuba gear ) save money buy this product . Fast service wish I had bought sooner

•   This scale is an improved model of an original scale I had. I works as advertised. The improvement is that the scale remains at the weight scaled (?) unlike the old one which went back to zero when relieved of weight. That's helpful when trying to establish the exact weight without some one else reading the scale. Of course you have to have the strength to lift the luggage with the scale. But very helpful.

  We Love it.

•   No more guessing about the weight of your luggage, scale is within 1 pound.

•   This product is great for the traveler or fisherman too. It accurately weighs up to 75 pounds and takes the guesswork out of just how close you are to that 50 pound luggage limit. We bought ours for cruising as the luggage weight leaving the ship and before boarding the airlines is important.

•   It was very good. Easy to use. Amazingly accurate. The only problem is that the meausring tape easily unraveled at the slightest touch.

•   After my friend used my scale to travel to Europe, he wanted to have his own. since he could not find the scale in his neiborhood stores, I helped him to place an order on line.

•   I bought this as a gift for a fellow traveler because I've used one for several years and love it. It packs in suitcase to use in double checking weight before getting to a foreign airport.

•   Great gadget. Used it to find the lightest carry on bag for a trip to Europe.

•   This will save you $$$ at the airport. We keep it in our luggage so we will always know where it is. We also pack it with us for the return trip.

•   Great idea ... and, you can take it with you to make sure you luggage does not weigh too much on your return trip.

•   Since I've been going to FL for 2/3 mths each year, packing for that long a time has always been a concern because of the weight restrictions at the airport. This scale will come in real handy and be so much easier than trying to sit my suitcase on the bathroom scale and not being able to see the weight. Great item for the price!!!

•   This was invaluable traveling abroad when we had to take one of the nickel-and-dime airlines with tight baggage rules. It is accurate and simple to use so we could pack to the limit and not get dinged for overages. This scale is a necessity in this day and age.

•   The scale takes the guesswork out of packing It was especially helpful in China where the baggage limits for domestic airlines were different from the USA.

•   This product was a life saver during our recent travel from Florida to Hawaii. With the recent weigh restrictions, this product was valuable to saving us money by keeping us within the required limits.

•   I love this luggage scale & is well worth the money. I was always stressed out about the weight of my luggage because I tend to pack the limit. Now I can rearrange my packed items at home instead in front of everyone at the airport.

•   This is a great product! We used this on a recent trip to Mexico. It was especially useful when packing to come home. Our friends used it, and found that they needed to redistribute the weight in their two pieces of luggage.

•   it's a brilliant product that is so appropos for current airline restrictions.. i bought mine as a gift and was well received. your customer service was expedient also. good experience working with you

•   Works great, does the job. I have marked the weight limits on the glass over the scale, so I can just glance down to get the under/over judgment. If I didn't have this one, I might get the digital equivalent, with memory, but this works just fine.

•   Great item for making sure your bags are within the weightlimit. It has saved me from overweight baggage fees several times. I don't recommend packing this in your carry on as I was pulled aside once because they thought the scales spring looked like a corkscrew.

By Anonymous in September, 2008
•   works great. I compared it with my scale and it is accurate. nice size to bring with you to make sure you don't bring back to much.

By Anonymous in September, 2008
•   The scale helps but it is not accurate, it weights minus 3 pounds, one suitcase I weighted 50 lbs even actually was 53 lbs at the airport. I am ready to order a electronic one.

By Anonymous in September, 2008
•   I was so exicited to use the scale. But when you lift the lugguage several times, it gives you different readings.

By Judith P., TX in August, 2008
•   Works well. Bag weighted the same at the airport as it did at home.

By Connie K., IL in August, 2008
•   We very carefully weighed our max. size luggage before a trip to Alaska -- mine was 48 lbs. and my husbands read 46 lbs (at home) -- got the the airlines and they said our luggage weighed 56 and 54 respectively. So we were "unpacking" at the airport once again. So on the way home from Alaska we were very very careful not to come close -- so we both had 44 lbs in our suitcase and again the airport weiged us at 54 -- we can't win - but these scales are going back to where we purchased them.

•   I travel to S.A. and on several occations in the middle of the airport I have had to take out from one bag to put in the other bag so that I would not have to pay the extra charges. Since getting the luggage scale everything has been perfect. We use every pound we are entitle to without going over. Several people have asked me to order one for them. We love it.

•   best l0.00 investment we have ever made......the new restrictions ( on weight) of carry on luggage is also coming soon!!!!! thanx, candace cameron

•   Very useful scale. Since most limits are 50lbs this is easy to use.

•   Bought one and gave it to my husband for Christmas. We had family staying here during the holidays and when it was time for them to pack, it came in handy. One of their bags was way over the limit and they re-aranged things and got it under the limit. It will always go in my bag when I travel, to and from. What a great invention!

•   This scale is ESSENTIAL! Weight restrictions vary between airlines, and may vary for domestic vs international flights on the same airline. This weight only matters when you check in your luggage (ie: if you check in 70lb in Italy, you won't get charged extra by the domestic carrier from JFK to ATL).

By Anonymous
•   This item works great. I am always pushing luggage limits, and this scale has saved me a lot of money. It's light weight itself, and fits easily in an exterior pocket. It's also interesting to see the variations in airline scales. they can be off by 3 or 4 pounds.

By Anonymous
•   Indispensable! Bathroom scales are an option at home, but not on the road, packing in hotel rooms. Consistently accurate. It remains in my carry-on as an essential item.

By Anonymous
•   Invaluable! Purchased for trip to Europe and it was a necessary & handy tool both ways!

By Anonymous
•   I have one of these and always take it with me when I fly. It's great--I'm never scrambling at the counter trying to redistribute weight in my checked luggage to avoid overweight charges anymore. I bought one for my sister-in-law (notorious overpacker) and she says it's the best gift I've ever given her!

By Anonymous
•   Great product - no batteries to die. Agree that over 60 lbs. is difficult to lift if you are a female that is under 4'10" Recommend this highly - only 8 oz I use this all the time and this has helped me tremendously.

By Anonymous
•   I am so relieved to have this scale. We have a trip that involves packing and unpacking multiple times and I feel confident there won't be any suprise overweight charges. Thank you for offering this scale.

By Anonymous
•   I think this is great. The padding on the handle helps. Just remember airlines both donestic and international have a 50 lb. limit per bag.

By Anonymous
•   OK for lighter weight luggage, but at 60 or so pounds hurts the fingers.

By Anonymous
•   With weight restrictions on both checked and carry-on luggage varying between airlines and differing between domestic and international travel, this handy device has become one of my travel essentials. It's handy to use and fits easily into an exterior pocket on my luggage for quick measurements. I never leave home without it.

By Anonymous
•   I did not find this item to be easy to use or consistent. It was difficult to hoist a suitcase weighing approximately 50 pounds up high enough to weigh it. I went back to using the bathroom scales again.

By Anonymous
•   It works, but the numbers are small and hard to read. If your bag is large, you need two people to weigh it- one to hold bag/scale, and another to read it. I think the digital model would be handier.

By Anonymous
•   Excellent idea, poorly made. Worked well for three suitcases. Then dial fell out on fourth. Now does not register weight correctly. Another made in China rip-off?

By Anonymous
•   The first time I used the scale, the black dial fell off. Had to glue it back on.
