Rating: - WONDERFUL PRODUCT
I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT 3 DAYS BEFORE I WENT ON HOLIDAY AS I WAS GOING WITH A NO FRILLS AIRLINE AND THEY WANTED £10 PER KILO EXCESS BAGGAGE. AS I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD I TEND TO TAKE TOO MANY THINGS WITH US AND END UP OVER WEIGHT AT THE CHECKIN EVERY TIME. WHEN I SEEN THIS ITEM I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A TRY AND I AM GLAD I DID, NO MORE EXCESS BAGGAGE CHARGES FOR ME. IT IS SO SIMPLE TO USE AND YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU FOR YOUR RETURN JOURNEY (JUST REMOVE THE BATTERY) IT IS SO SMALL AND COMPACT IT TAKES UP NO ROOM AT ALL.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE AND IT WILL HAVE PAID FOR ITSELF IN NO TIME WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU SPEND IF YOU HAVE EXCESS BAGGAGE, AND LETS FACE IT WITH THE CLIMATE THE WAY IT IS AT THE MOMENT THE AIRLINES ARE LOOKING FOR ANY EXCUSE TO PULL IN MORE FUNDS (MAINLY AT OUR EXPENSE)

Rating: - Does precisely what it's supposed to do.
Previous reviews sum things up pretty well. Simple to use. The fact that the weight is displayed after putting the item down is a great improvement over using conventional spring balance and attempting to read it 'loaded'.
When I first used it I had the peculiar experience of the scale displaying exactly the same weight for a bag twice, but when I removed items the weight actually increased!!
I've used it again since, over a number of days, and now the weight remains consistent. I can only put it down to the scale 'setting down'.
Airport scales confirmed the accuracy of the Balanzza Scale. My home measurement gave 19.7kg and the airport scales 20.0kg. I don't think that is a significant difference. Also no recurrence of the bag being heavier after items removed.

Rating: - Great product
A little bit bulky (hence only 4 stars) but simple to use and does exactly what it is meant to.

Rating: - BALANZA LUGGAGE SUITCASE SCALE
This is a brilliant piece of kit every time i go abroad i have that thought in the back of my mind when i get to the airport of if the suitcases myself and my family are carrying are too heavy resulting in more expense.I never thought about purchasing a luggage suitcase scale until a few days ago a wise decision thanks for the quick delivery also you put some mail order catalogues to shame thanks.

Rating: - Looks useful
Since my wife always has to carry a complete wardrobe on holidays for some reason (I have to hold the cases on bathroom scales), she ordered this as soon as she saw it. I have a few minor reservations: (1) will it display the excessive amounts that SOME people seem to think they'll need for a fortnight in a warm country where you don't wear much anyway? and (2) an on/off switch isn't provided, so the batteries have to be removed to switch it off. Why sell/use a battery-operated balance anyway? It would seem just as practical to use a basic 'spring-scale' type that I'm sure we all used in physics classes at school. Perhaps that wouldn't have the "wow" factor of an LCD digital readout (or the same sort of profit for the manufacturer).
