Product Description
Right, you've got your big Summer holiday coming up, so you've got to make sure to pack everything you need so you're always prepared for every occasion. You start a couple of days before your flight because you don't want to miss anything, but you've also got to make sure you pack sensibly so as not to exceed the luggage weight limit.At last you've finally got exactly the right combination of clothes, and now you have to quickly weigh the bag to make sure it's within the weight limit. Unfortunately the bathroom scales are all you have - so you balance the bag as best you can, and as much trouble as it is, the display seems to show the correct weight.After all your efforts of phoning for a Taxi and racing to get to the airport, the last thing you want is to reach check-in and be told your bags are overweight. Now you have to pay extra just to get your bag on the plane!Unfortunately the old bathroom scales can't always be trusted; if only you had a more reliable and accurate way of weighing your suitcase.The Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale features a simple way of weighing your luggage at home, long before you get to check-in and have to pay any extra fees.Simply attach the strap of the Balanzza to the handle of your luggage and when you pick it up it will display the exact weight!Remove a pair of shoes, and a couple of jumpers and get your luggage under the weight limit to avoid paying extra!Dimensions:Unit: L 130mm W 70mm D 24mm

 Does precisely what it's supposed to do. August 9, 2008

Previous reviews sum things up pretty well. Simple to use. The fact that the weight is displayed after putting the item down is a great improvement over using conventional spring balance and attempting to read it 'loaded'.
When I first used it I had the peculiar experience of the scale displaying exactly the same weight for a bag twice, but when I removed items the weight actually increased!!
I've used it again since, over a number of days, and now the weight remains consistent. I can only put it down to the scale 'setting down'.
Airport scales confirmed the accuracy of the Balanzza Scale. My home measurement gave 19.7kg and the airport scales 20.0kg. I don't think that is a significant difference. Also no recurrence of the bag being heavier after items removed.
Great product August 4, 2008

A little bit bulky (hence only 4 stars) but simple to use and does exactly what it is meant to.

This is a brilliant piece of kit every time i go abroad i have that thought in the back of my mind when i get to the airport of if the suitcases myself and my family are carrying are too heavy resulting in more expense.I never thought about purchasing a luggage suitcase scale until a few days ago a wise decision thanks for the quick delivery also you put some mail order catalogues to shame thanks.
Looks useful July 14, 2008

Since my wife always has to carry a complete wardrobe on holidays for some reason (I have to hold the cases on bathroom scales), she ordered this as soon as she saw it. I have a few minor reservations: (1) will it display the excessive amounts that SOME people seem to think they'll need for a fortnight in a warm country where you don't wear much anyway? and (2) an on/off switch isn't provided, so the batteries have to be removed to switch it off. Why sell/use a battery-operated balance anyway? It would seem just as practical to use a basic 'spring-scale' type that I'm sure we all used in physics classes at school. Perhaps that wouldn't have the "wow" factor of an LCD digital readout (or the same sort of profit for the manufacturer).
Thank goodness for these scales May 10, 2008

I travel very regularly and the only carriers from my airport are low cost so I ALWAY have the pre-flight luggage weight stress. That was until I discovered these wonderful scales. They are easy to use - you just clip them around the handle, pick up the luggage, wait for the beep (3 secs) and the weight is recorded. I have found that they are accurate to within about 0.2 of the airport scales.
I highly recommend these - buy them you won't be disappointed!
