SAMSONITE MANUAL LUGGAGE SCALE, BLACK, ONE SIZE. I bought this for one purpose, to weigh my carry-on luggage. On my last international trip, I checked in at the gate and my carry-on luggage was 5 pounds overweight. I had to either check it or reduce the weight, but 5 pounds is a lot of weight to reduce from your luggage. Luckily, the gate agent didn’t re-weigh my carry-on before boarding so I lucked out. There are lots and lots of luggage scales on AMAZON. Most are digital that require a button-size battery. I wanted to avoid one that needed a battery. In doing my research, I came upon a travel magazine article on different luggage scales and the Samsonite was rated one of the most accurate compared to similar priced digital scales. Although this is a very simple scale to use, using it right out of the package will result in an inaccurate reading. You have to set the two (red and black) arms to the 12 o'clock position by turning the black center knob in the middle of the face. The black arm will show the pounds. The red will show the ounces. After setting the two arms to 12 o'clock, I tested its accuracy by individually weighing 2.5-pound, 5-pound, and 10-pound dumbbell / barbell plates. The scale was very accurate. If you are going to buy a luggage scale, be certain to get one with a HOOK. The hook makes weighing luggage or anything similar so much easier. This is small and light enough to carry with you to the airport. I read a report that airport luggage scales can be very inaccurate and read OVER the actual weight. The SAMSONITE SCALE might help if this happens. Read more
Good product. Easy to take with you Read more
works great for cheapskates like me trying to get by with a large carry-on or leave just enough space in a first bag. haven't tested over 50lbs. love the second arrow that saves your measurement - easier than reading the scale while holding everything up. Read more
i really love that this is fully manual and does not rely on any batteries! i took this with me to europe and used it to weigh all my baggage since european airlines are often pretty strict with luggage weight limits. it seems a little bulky at first but i feel like it’s compact enough to be portable. easy to use, easy to read, and hopefully will last a long time since it’s a samsonite product. as a note, its important to lift the scale slowly and evenly to get an accurate measurement. yanking the scale/luggage up will create more force, causing the weight to seem heavier than it actually is.
