This is the first time I have purchased a luggage scale and I extremely pleased with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Ergonomic-Luggage-Scale-Weighs-up-to-88-Lbs-New-Compact-Modern-Design/dp/B001O1MBCO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Ergonomic Luggage Scale Weighs up to 88 Lbs. New Compact Modern Design.</a>.  With the recent airline luggage restrictions and fee changes this is a must have for someone who travels.  Before I got this, I was weighing myself with and without the luggage on a regular bathroom scale to "try" and get an estimate on the luggage might weigh.  Let's just say that routine was off by 4 to 6 pounds, and 4 to 6 pounds could mean a $100 surcharge if my luggage was over 50 pounds.  This digital scale is quite precise in it's reading give or take 6-8 ounces.  Easy to use and read.  Can easily fit in your suitcase for that return flight after you buy all those t-shirts and souvenirs. It is just as important as packing your toothbrush.

The maximum weight is 88 pounds, so make sure you do not try to use it on something that weighs more than 88 pounds since it could damage the unit.

Makes a perfect gift as well for anyone you know that does a lot of airline traveling.  A MUST HAVE!
