An accurate baggage scale can be a godsend when it comes to correctly packing your bags and avoiding unnecessary fees at the airport. Here are a few to consider, whether you’re buying for yourself, or as a holiday gift for your favorite frequent traveler.
On the economical side of things, the Magellan’s analog scale is the perfect choice for those on a budget. It’s only $12 and doesn’t need batteries, so it’ll never die when you need it most. The scale itself is tiny, so you can take it on all of your travels. It will weigh bags of up to 75 pounds and has a built-in tape measure so you can check your suitcase has the correct dimensions.
The Balanzza Ergo is a little bit of a step up at $25, but has a few added perks. The digital weighing method allows you to hook your luggage onto the handheld scale, lift, wait for the beep and then you’re done. Return your luggage to the floor and check the screen for your weight. The company also offers the same model with a built-in flashlight and alarm clock.
If you think your bags might be too heavy for the Magellan scale, you may want to invest in this heavy-duty digital scale from Victorinox. The small yet sturdy device can weigh luggage up to 110 pounds and will display the weight in both kilograms and pounds, great for when you’re flying internationally and aren’t too sure of your measurement conversion skills. The scale is part of their Victorinox Travel Accessories 4.0 collection, which includes lots of other handy travel must-haves as well.
