Duronic LS1013 Digital Travel Luggage Scale Weighing Scale Suitcase with Strap and Hook Numeric Display Capacity 50 kg, Luggage Scale

I've owned this scale for several months now and it's really paid for itself! If you travel by air a lot like I do, I'm sure you're just as annoyed at ridiculous overweight baggage charges as I am. I've been that person anxiously shoving underwear and shoes between bags at the check-in desk as my departure time edges closer - trust me, it's never a position you'll want to be in!My favourite part about this scale is the smart design - the shape makes it so easy to lift even the heaviest bags with both hands. The strap seems very strong and durable, looping around the handles of your luggage and doesn't budge or come loose at all whilst picking it up. It's the most lightweight scale I've owned and the slim shape means it's perfect for stashing in any of your bags and won't weigh it down. The digital display seems to be very accurate, maybe 100g or so difference each way especially if your luggage is heavy, so best to be cautious and round up a couple of hundred grams if you're very close to your limit! It also comes with batteries that have lasted the last few months and are still performing perfectly.I'd absolutely recommend this scale to any travellers - if it helps you avoid just one baggage fee then it's more than paid for itself! It's so much better than the cheaper manual scales on the high street, which are never anywhere near as accurate in my experience (not to mention heavier and bulkier). No more overweight luggage panics - now I can worry more about choosing the perfect souvenirs to take home rather than any nasty surprise penalty fees at the airport!

Fabulous scales. This Duronic luggage scales worked a treat. It weighed our 20 KG bag with ease, and even with my small hands (being a female!), held the curved handle comfortably. I found using the scales very simple - Adjust the strap so it is in the middle of the handle press the button, wait for the beep which sets the scale to 0 and lift. Keep the scales as still as possible after lifting so the weight fixes, then check the weight. I am no weight lifter so did find it quite hard to keep still, but once the weight was fixed, I put the bag down and checked the weight that way! When arriving at check in, we were pleased to see our scales were pretty accurate. We took the scales with us on holiday as we were 4x4ing/camping in Botswana and needed to check our luggage again (after buying curios) prior to our departure. The scales are so light in weight and compact so no problem tucking it into our luggage just before zipping it up! Thank you for the fast delivery service. Highly recommended.

This is an extremely useful product if you do not wish to end up paying large amounts of money at check-in due to overweight luggage. I found that the product was showing the weight to be around 0.3 kg more than it should be - I know this because I used this product to check against known weight such as a packet of rice bought from the supermarket. If you keep this in mind then you should not go wrong in weighing your luggage. However, bear in mind that you need to be pretty strong to lift a luggage that may weigh more than 20kgs... you need to hold the luggage up with this product for a few seconds to get a bleep which indicates that a reading has been taken. The product grip is well designed for you to pick up the luggage easily. I liked the design of the strap since it simply goes round the luggage handle and hooks up to the product. It is easy to operate and the display can be easily read. Since it is small the product can be stored in your luggage after use without taking much space at all for use on your return journey. I have used this several times and it has proved extremely valuable since it takes away the usual guess work on your luggage weight.

I found this product to be simple in use, solidly built and accurate. It takes a short time to calculate the weight and 'beep', and having weighed a 16kg dumbbell at 16.1kg (which I am willing to accept is down to manufacturing tolerances) I'm happy it does what it's designed for. The unit itself and accompanying straps etc all look like they should last quite a few years, and overall weight and size easy enough to pack in luggage for the return flights home. I'm pleased!Update 5 Sep 2011: I've noticed another reviewer found the belt loop too small for their case handles, but that suggests to me there's some confusion in use- the belt is approx 8 inches long so correctly clipped back on itself it could in theory wrap around handles up to 4 inches in diameter! Also, there's no need for an assistant to read the scale as the unit automatically beeps and stores the weight (once everything stops bouncing about), you then read the stored reading after you've put the case down, no problem. The only issue might be how strong your arms are as 25kg can be quite a weight to hold in one hamd! (the solution is you stand on a chair and let your arm hang down straight, or use both arms). Recently got back from holidays and unit worked perfectly both on all 5 cases there and back.
