AMERICAN WEIGH SCALESAmerican Weigh Scales Digital Hanging Luggage Scale for Traveling or Weighing Suitcases, Backlit LCD Screen 110lbs x 0.2lbs, LS-110

So far so good. I got this scale about 2 or 3 weeks ago now, and have tested it around the house on various things. It seems to work flawlessly. I got it for a vacation I'm going on this fall, so I can make sure my check-in luggage is less than 50 pounds. It's definitely worth what it cost considering it usually cost like $100 if you go over 50 pounds. In the past we've just through away perfectly good clothes at the airport to get our suitcases under the 50 lb mark. Now I'll know before I go to the airport what my weight is. I know you can just put your luggage on a home bathroom scale, but when you're coming home from vacation there's usually no scale in the hotel or whatever you're staying at. And this is great to through in your bag and use on your trip.The unit I received from Amazon does not include the strap as pictured, it's a big metal hook. Very strong through and pretty good size.All in all, I think this is a must have for any traveler. I would recommend

I found this device easy to use. It is also easy to store which is very practical when you go on a trip. I find it very handy that this device "remembers" what it just weighed after you put your luggage down.I usually make purchases on my trips so this device will come in handy again when I fly back home.Of course, it can weigh other things also if you can find a way to use the built in hook.Additional Comment: I purchased this product specifically to use for going on an Alaskan cruise. It was really handy for making sure my luggage for the airplane and the cruise ship were within the specified limits. It was also handy on the return trips to make sure our luggage was still within limits after all the purchases we made on this trip.

After being overweight on a return flight home and having to pay $75 for the bag, I decided it was time to get a small lightweight scale that we could bring on trips to avoid being overweight on our return. It's also been great for checking our bags before departing.We haven't experienced any issues that others have reported and have owned it 6 months with it always working great. We've taken it on 3 trips and it's always kept us underweight. We were just under by a 1lb our last trip, but that's enough. It's hard to tell how accurate it is, but I trust it within 2 lbs so always keep our bags under 48lbs and its always worked so far.

It is slightly smaller than I would like. BUT it is accurate and helped us overseas. The small size makes it worth it if you are taking it with you on your travels. It was easier to use once we started using both hands. But that could also be because I'm weak and my brother had a better time lifting 50lbs with one hand.

I got this for our 2-week family vacation to Florida based on the decent reviews from others that purchased this unit. I tested on several items with known weight and they were within .1 lb and was very happy. Then the night before our early morning flight out when I tried to weigh the actual suitcases it started to behave strangely. Sometimes it would just turn off while I'm lifting the luggages, and other times it just wouldn't come on. I did the weighing the old fashion-way, using the bathroom scale, but I took the unit with me to play with it during the vacation. I ended up buyin a new set of batteries (it used 2032 watch batteries). It worked good at the beginning, but even though I had the switch in the OFF position, it seems to drain it very quickly.I'm not going to bother returning. I'll just have to pull out the batteries when not in use. I'd look elsewhere when it's time to replace it with a better scale unless you want to use it and throw it away when the battery drains.

If you are an international traveler, you will know that using a bathroom scale to weight those fifty pound luggage can be difficult. I came across this scale accidentally. I loved it at first sight and ordered immediately. When it arrived, I fell even more in love. If you have paid excess baggage charges at the airport, you will really appreciate this portable scale. It shows accurate weight and it looks elegant and rich. I received many compliments for its great looks and good accuracy. Wonderful scale.

This is the 3rd one I bought for different family members/households. Every time they see me use it before I travel, they ask where I got it from. It's easy to use, display is clear and large to read without reading glasses. Light to toss in your handbag and take it with you to your destination, to be used on your way back.My most favorite part of it is the red light that turns on when the final measurement locks in. So there is no guessing which one of the fluctuating numbers was the correct measurement.

no metric system .. poor quality .. battery easily wears off. not a good buy
