Product Reviews of Taylor 8120 Digital Luggage Scale
Product Review: Saves you a bundle!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best purchases you can make. We just got back from a two week trip to Israel and Jordan and this scale worked great. Many on our tour wanted to borrow this for the return flight home and found it easy to use.
With excess baggage weight fees now at $90 for domestic and $150 for International, it's a logical travel investment to make.
1) It's lightweight as well. Don't leave it at home if you are going to buy things on your trip. Take it with you. You'd be amazed how those cool Arabic and Hebrew soda bottles add weight to your bag!
2) Easy to use and locks in the reading, so you can focus on lifting the bag. Analog scales need an extra person to read the scale while you lift.
3) Ours is very accurate compared to airport scales, within a pound. But if the bag sways while lifting the weight can change. We set an upper limit of 48 lbs to be safe.
4) Only downside I can think of is you can put this the kilo-gram mode to easily. It's obvious when ou look, but an different way to switch that mode would make more sense.
5) It does take a battery but also has an power off feature after so many minutes of non-use.
Warning, airlines will hate that you have this. Three people on our tour found they have overweight bags going home, so the airline lost $450 after they re-balanced their bags.
Product Review: Sold out? Try The Container Store
Summary: 5 Stars
This a great product that any traveler needs, especially since it is more expensive to have overweight luggage than to have 2 checked bags! It keeps selling out on Amazon, but you can also find it at The Container Store.Product Review: Stop paying extra baggage fees!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product due to the high fees associated with overweight baggage and I must say this product has been very helpful. Although the price is rather high, I would say that if you travel frequently this will help you avoid those embarrassing moments of taking clothes out of your luggage at the airport to either hand carry them or move them to another luggage piece. The weight can be predetermined before you get to the airport and will be one less worry for you. Please visit my blog for a more in depth review at http://dealsrantsraves.blogspot.com/
Product Review: Stopped working
Summary: 2 Stars
Seemed to be pretty accurate, but couldn't get it to work for the return trip with a bag full of souvenirs. Requires a clean, smooth lift; not always easy with a heavy bag.Product Review: Super tool for frequent travelers
Summary: 5 Stars
Super product - works like it says. Especially handy when you have to pack stuff in boxes (with no handles)as you can weigh the individual pieces (and save your back) and then add to make sure you're under whats allowed on the flight.
My wife and I travel a lot ... We packed 20+ bags recently and this tool was invaluable ... will be with us for a long long time.
I tested the machine on typical grocery items and it is very accurate.
