Freetoo Digital Luggage Scale, £9.40 (was £19.99)
The Freetoo Portable Digital Luggage Scale has been described as a ‘lifesaver’ for travellers who want to avoid those annoying baggage fees.
Now 53% cheaper, it’s currently a number-one bestseller on the Amazon website.
With summer just around the corner, many people have travel on the agenda – and airlines, of course, are super strict with luggage weight limits.
Thing are often trickier on the return flight home, when you’ve bought loads of souvenirs (or just gone a bit mad in the duty-free section).
This digital luggage scale is a cheap, easy way to make sure your bags stay within the weight limit.
It can measure up to 50kg and, according to the maker, is accurate down to 0.01kg.
It’s simple to use: just turn it on, attach the strap to your luggage, lift, and read the weight on the screen.
There’s a large LCD screen that’s easy to read, even in low light, and you can switch between weight units – pounds, grams, ounces or kilos.
The tare function lets you measure net weight easily, so you can figure out how much you’ve added or need to remove.
At just 90g, it’s (appropriately enough) very lightweight, and can easily go into your pocket or the luggage you take on to the plane.
This handy little gizmo has racked up nearly 50,000 reviews on Amazon, with shoppers loving how reliable and easy it is to use.
“Great travel device!” one review reads. “Easy to use, accurate readout. Does the job nicely.”
One happy customer shared: “[I] have used these for 16 flights recently.
“Gives you some peace of mind before arriving at the airport when you have loads of luggage.”
Another shopper called it “an absolute must-have for frequent travellers”.
For the reduced sum of £9.40, this is a real bargain for guaranteed peace of mind at the airport check-in desk.
And for shoppers not just worried about the weight but the size of their luggage, Amazon has slashed the cost of an underseat cabin backpack that’s designed with Ryanair restrictions in mind.
