I wasn’t expecting much for $6.95 but this is an excellent product that costs at least half of what comparable units sell for. I almost feel guilty for buying it because I don’t know how the seller is making any money from it.
The unit is sturdily constructed and has a big bright display that turns off automatically to save battery power. I needed something with good resolution and this scale will display in grams, and to tenths of an ounce, and hundredths of a kg and lb. It also has a tare function and will auto-hold the reading if it stops changing. It even came with batteries and a cloth storage bag.

I was very interested in how this scale would perform. The circus act of bathroom scales and the surprise of discovering your 48 lbs. at home translates to 53 at the airport became first on the list of travel stress. The unit is very compact and light weight and can easily be transported with you to ease the “second on the list” of stresses when you pack for the return flight. We did find the accuracy to be off by 2 lbs. consistently. (48=50). With that in mind I would not hesitate to use this scale or recommend it to others.

I’ve been doing a bunch of research on Luggage Scales, and the common theme seems to be the lack of “range” where heavy is fine, but lighter loads are quite skewed.
This unit does quite awesome for lighter loads. I weighed a 3lb load (47.8oz to be exact) was identical on both this and a kitchen scale.
I figured I’d push it and try for a 10oz load (9.3oz to be exact, according to my kitchen scale) and this unit clocked in at 10.3oz. A 1oz discrepancy when the load is THIS light is quite awesome in my eyes.
For $6.95, I literally feel like I stole it. I love it so much that I just ordered 4 more units to spread around the house and office to weigh packages for shipment.
Unlike other scales, this unit even has a handy nylon strap with a clip that securely lifts luggage by the handle.
EDIT: It seems the price went up. $15 is still a pretty good deal.
After a fair bit more use (including a few close calls at just under 50lbs) I should note that the scale doesn’t really stabilize really well to get a “hold” reading.
It’s also quite difficult to lift when attached to a heavy object.
I now usually skip the handle and lift by the body. It’s easier to get a pair of hands on it.
I’d still give it 5 stars since most scales would be awkward to read with 50lbs attached. I’m a little sad that it doesn’t stabilize faster, but that’s not a huge downfall.

This scale works pretty well. What else is there to say about a scale?
I have used this scale to weight for several 30 to 50 pound pieces of luggage and it matched what the scale a the airport reported which is all one needs from this type of device.
While the body is plastic, the handle is metal and has metal hinges that attach it to the body. The device seems pretty sturdy and includes a quick release strap used to hold the luggage handle. This is a nice feature as it helps keep the luggage from slipping when you weight it.
The only down side for this item is that sometimes I had trouble getting it to lock in a weight. The manual says that you hold it still for a few seconds and the weight will hold on the screen. This did not always work for me (perhaps I was not holding the heavier pieces steady?) but I always got a measurement in one or two tries on every piece.
This scale should be good for any country as it weighs in grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds. I list these as four separate items as the display can be set to use any of these four units. That is, this scale will should pounds or ounces not both. For example, if an item weight one and one half pounds it would display 1.5 if set to show pounds or 24 id set to ounces.
The scale also has a tare function which allows you to weight a container (or empty suitcase), press the tare button, put something in the container and then weight that to get the weight of what’s inside. In other words this feature allows you to remove the weight of the container holding what you really want to weight. I don’t know how useful this is for luggage but when it comes to weight things for non-airline purposes I’m sure it would some in handy.

Gret little scale and seems accurate to within .25 of a pound based on my first use as far as the airlines scale was concerned!
The small carry bag could be of a slightly higher quality with a better draw string but that does not change my rating of the product.
