This scale works great!!  I bought it to weigh my luggage for the airlines.  When I packed it going, I weighed it, and it showed 40 pounds.  When I got to the airport, I did a curbside check in, and the attendant picked up the luggage, and said it is under.  I asked him if he could weigh it, to check what the scale read, but he did not have a scale.

So the day before I was returning, I threw stuff in it, weighed it, and it weighed 46.9 pounds.  We then drove it to the airport, and asked them to weigh it.  It weighed 47 pounds!!  Only 1/10 of a pound more than what the scale weighed.  So I was confident that I would not be overweight.

So before loading the luggage up in the van, I checked, and it was at 49.6 pounds.  I then added on this strap item with multiple colors so I can easily see my luggage.  And planned to take it off it caused it to be overweight, did not want to weigh it again.  It is quite heavy holding up almost fifty pounds to weigh it.  When I got to the airport, they weighed my luggage, and it was exactly fifty pounds!!!  I highly recommend this scale!!
