“Digital Luggage Scale
”
by Mrs Hyde
We were quite sceptical about how accurate this would be. However, we needn't have been. We tried it out on our holiday to Mexico this year and it was so accurate, the repacking I had done at home meant not having to open the suitcase at the airport which is so embarrassing. Fabulous, lightweight in your hand luggage and accurate!

“Dissapointed
”
by norliyana
I got this a couple of months back and been using it a couple of times and it has been good but the clasp was stuck. Tried really hard to pull it out but couldn't. It happened once or twice before but could always find a way to force it out, eventually. Finally, had to cut off the strap of the clasp because I wouldn't be able to fly with that thing flapping about my bag, would I? I was dissapointed as I thought other than this problem, it would have been a good product.

“Optimistic
”
by Penelope
Luckily I bought my Digital Luggage Scales already for going overseas in Sept but the first one would only register as battery 'Lo' - however, after exchanging it at Lakeland, the replacement seems fine. After scanning through the reviews, I've decided I'll keep the batteries separate whilst it is packed so there are no worries about it switching itself on inside my luggage. The newer luggage scales require 2 lithium batteries which, I know from having bought some for my bathroom scales recently, cost £9.50 each at one chain jewellery store!

“Digital Luggage Scale
”
by Mrs Bainbridge
It was very disappointing that the batteries supplied did not last long enough to weigh our luggage for the return journey. This was the first time we had used the scale and it was switched off during our 2 week holiday, naturally we expected to be able to weigh our cases for our return home. However, the scale gave a low battery signal and failed to weigh our second case. This meant some guess work to make sure that both cases were under weight to avoid a repack at the airport.

“Peace of mind
”
by Maria
I have found this a great product. I no longer have to worry that my suitcase might be over the allowed weight when I get to the airport which is especially important on the return trip if bringing anything back home!

“A waste of money, time and patience.
”
by Carole
I bought this item just before going on holiday and didn't think to test it until the night before we travelled. When I came to use it, there was only one battery supplied instead of the required two. Fortunately I had a spare, because it was the same battery that I use in my cookery scales. I then found that it was impossible to open the clasp in order to place it around the handle of the case. My husband also tried, but it just wouldn't budge. Eventually, we tied it to the case handle with a strap, which gave us a reading. I can see that it should work in principle, but I am very, very disappointed with this faulty item.

“Sad
”
by Pooja
I have bought this just before our holiday and just when we unpack it to use the clip was jammed and we were really disappointed as it was brand new and it was already behaving this way. Not sure how it would behave after some time of usage. I am not sure if we were just unlucky to get a faulty piece.

“Great Piece of Kit
”
by Jonathan
I currently work in Africa and I need to take all of my food with me on trips, this scale is so good that I can put as much food in my cases and I don't need to worry about excess baggage charges. Thanks again Lakeland.

“Invaluable
”
by Lynda
We bought this from Lakeland after getting caught out a couple of times and although I'd seen them advertised elsewhere, thought I would be getting a better quality product as it was from Lakeland. . Because we didn't use it sraightaway, when we did , unfortunately, we had a faulty one and it was extremely difficult to get a reading on it. I would still recommend getting one, it is invaluable these days as the charges are so high for excess baggage. We are flying again soon and I'd like to buy another but feel it's a bit much after only using the other one once.

“Well worth the money
”
by Su
It's lightweight (unlike my old one!) compact and accurate. As the lad at the check in desk at Calgary airport said "You guys sure know how to pack!". Had to replace the batteries quickly, but that was because it had got turned on while it was in my hand luggage, I should have kept it protected in it's blister pack or laid it on the top to stop the 'on' button being pressed. Apart from that I can't fault it. Even my husband who had said "why you buying a different one? we've got one already" admitted that it was the best 20 quid we've ever spent.

“Sturdy little helper
”
by Linda
This is not just a luggage scale - it's a bacon saver. It saved mine in terms of excess baggage charges recently. It's sturdy, easy to use and accurate. Pack it in your cabin bag and take it with you - it doesn't take up much space and you'll bless that decision when you return home with all that booty you've purchased. No more nervous waits in the check-in queue.

“Easy to use
”
by Jan Wilkins
Before buying this we used to use the bathroom scales to weigh suitcases, this is so much easier and a lot more reliable and I even packed it in my hand luggage so I could use it on the return trip, fantastic.

“Amazing tool but short lived
”
by JOHANA
I bought this product over a year ago and has been using this to weigh mostly 30kg plus. It's a handy tool for frequent traveller with big size luggages which is wider than bathroom scales. My friends have also tried this product and found it really handy. It can take a while to get the beep if you don't have a strong hand to hold it steady. Unfortunately, recently the ring snapped off when I weighed my luggage scale. It managed to hold my luggage and I only found out after I read 'err' and put it down, so it didn't fall on my feet.

“Essential travel accessory
”
by Richard Sheppard
I have been using this item 4 or 5 times a year whenever I travel by air. It is extremely accurate and you can trust it within a few grams either way when matching it to the check-in scales at the airport. Simple to use and very easy to read. It can save you ££££ in excess baggage charges.

“Easy to use
”

Definitely better than trying to balance your suitcases on the bathroom scales, which is what we were doing before we purchased this. It is very easy to use and gave us peace of mind when going on holiday!

“Don't go on holiday without it!
”
by Mrs Ruth Sanderson
Our family recently went to the USA and we were able to go shopping without all the worry of excess baggage. By using this we knew exactly how much weight we had to play with and was able to share our new purchases out in all our suitcases BEFORE we left rather than at the airport in full view of everyone. A marvellous idea - I won't go anywhere without it. Doesn't weigh much either!
