This is my second set of digital luggage scales.  This is a greaty improved model from the one I bought only two years ago.  The strap and overall length is shorter and that makes it much easier to weigh heavier luggage.  I am always at the limit whether it is 50 pounds or 70 pounds.  I am 67 years old and still in good shape, but not like when I was younger.  I have no problem lifting 70 pounds dead weight with these scales.  It really strained my back to lift with the old scales.  I can lift 50 pounds with little effort with these scales.

When I am traveling, I am always balancing two or three pieces of luggage to get as much into each one as the limit allows.  That means I have to check the weight not once, but many times.  And it really makes a huge difference when the scales are properly designed for the task at hand.  I travel to China from Texas about three times a year.  And my luggage is full going both directions because I own a condo and live in China several months a year.
