An automatic hold feature allows you to lift the luggage, set it down on the floor and read the scale. This is especially beneficial for those who pack heavy and do not want to injure their backs.
Depending on whether you are a lightweight or a heavyweight traveler, some luggage scales can weigh up to 110 pounds while some can only weigh up to 75 pounds.
If you want to save luggage space while traveling, consider buying a multipurpose luggage scale, such as one that has a tape measure, a thermometer and a watch.
As its ultimate purpose is to prevent your luggage from being overweight, a luggage scale is light and usually weighs around 0.5 pounds. Prices vary according to brand. While a typical luggage scale costs about $16, the fancier brands can cost as much as $30.
