Our review
At 4.7 stars with 85% five-star ratings across 13,500+ reviews, this is one of the highest-rated travel products on Amazon — and possibly the best $9 you can spend before a flight.
Hook the strap around your suitcase handle, lift, and the backlit LCD displays the weight in pounds or kilograms. The data lock function holds the reading so you can set the bag down before checking. It is accurate within a pound of airport scales, which is all you need to avoid overweight fees ($50-100 per bag at most airlines).
At 3.5 ounces, it tucks into any carry-on pocket for the return trip — essential when you have bought souvenirs and gifts. The rubberised handle is comfortable to grip. The auto-off feature preserves battery. Battery (CR2032) is included.
The downsides are almost nonexistent at this rating. The 1% one-star rate is remarkable. The only real complaint: holding a heavy suitcase while waiting for the reading to stabilise can be tiring for lighter users. But for an $8.49 tool that literally pays for itself the first time it saves you from a $50+ overweight fee, this is a no-brainer travel essential.
