Travelon Luggage Scale With Tape Measure

My husband and I travel quite frequently. On our last trip on the way home one suitcase weighed in at exactly 50 pounds. I am always worried on the way home that one suitcase may have more in it and will go over the 50 pound limit. Not any more. I ordered the luggage scale and it is lightweight (so I can take it with me) and very easy to use. I weighed my suitcases with the Travelon Luggage Scale and then weighed them on my scale at home - they were almost right on. While I realize not every scale is the same, this way I can be pretty sure I will not go over the limit on the way home any more.

This item is widely available in retail stores (usually about $10) as well as through Amazon. It quickly and efficiently weighs luggage and other items, and marks the weight so you can read the weight after putting the item down. However, after perhaps 12 to 15 uses on the evening before our flight, the item broke and no longer could register weights accurately. There was no information about any guarantee, so I just threw it out in disappointment.

This looked like the perfect thing for us as we prepared to move to another country. It worked a couple of times and then wouldn't work any longer. We went to the old fashioned way and weighed ourselves then the luggage and subtracted the difference. We were very disappointed.

My daughter has a luggage scale that needs two people..one to hold the scale and luggage and another to read the scale. The feature I liked best is that the weight is recorded by a black needle for easy viewing after I have placed the bag down.

This luggage scale is great! An easy way to make sure you don't have to pay extra$$ for being over your luggage weight limit. It is a convenient size and can easily be taken with you on your travels. Easy to use and read and the tape measure is handy as well. No more surprises when you check in at the airport when you use this handy scale!
