If there is one major travel tip that I can give to those who want to travel internationally, that is to please purchase a digital weight scale. You won’t regret it!
One of the scariest things that many travelers always want to make sure is to not go over the maximum weight for their checked bags. If traveling internationally, you will want to find out what the maximum weight limit your airline will allow for checked bags.
In one of my trips to Japan, I went over the weight limit and since then, invested in a digital luggage scale and since then, no problems as I could way my luggage before I traveled overseas. And then weighed my luggage right before I left my hotel to the airport.
I have made sure that I don’t go over the weight limit and if it did, I could fit everything in my carryon.
So now, I have become dependent when traveling internationally on a digital luggage scale.
It has saved me each year, as I have become dependent on it before I leave to another country and also knowing and helping me gauge of how much weight I have to work with before leaving home, so I don’t purchase anything too heavy or what I can put into my bag.
For this review, I am reviewing the FREETOO Digital Luggage Scale.
This one operates on a CR2032 battery (included). CR2032 batteries tend to last awhile but other digital travel scales I have used, have usually taken two AAA batteries, so it’s good to have extra CR2032 batteries just in case!
While digital and analog scales are not always 100% accurate, they are very close. And so far, while traveling, I have been quite pleased with how this portable digital travel scale has worked for me.
The digital travel scale has a green LED screen and tapping on the button, you can turn it off and on. By holding the power down for several seconds, this allows you to set it to g/oz/lb/kg/.
The clamp is not the usual plastic clasp, but a metal hanging clasp that hangs on a metal connection on the other end.
Personally, whether or not you get this brand, what matters is that if you are traveling, definitely for your peace of mind, purchase a portable travel luggage scale. Unless you don’t mind paying the extra hundred or more dollars just for a few extra pounds that are in your luggage.
At under $12, I recommend the FREETOO Digital Luggage Scale.
