This review is from: Digital Hanging/Fishing/Luggage Scale
I bought this scale for tracking my overweight cat’s diet progress. I put the cat in a harness, put the scale hook through the leash ring, and use the strap on the scale to gently lift the cat for a few seconds so I can get a reading. (The cat doesn’t mind, by the way).
The scale works very well for this purpose. The digital readout is large and clear. The reading stabilizes quickly. The strap is a little thin, which makes it uncomfortable to hold, but that’s not a big problem.
One thing that surprised me about the scale is just how small and light it is. Really, it’s about the size of a cell phone. It would fit easily in a pocket or purse for travel. I plan to take it on my next vacation so that I can weigh my suitcase to ensure it’s not overweight.
To test the accuracy of the scale, I tried weighing a 1 pint bottle of water and found it had a weight of roughly one pound, as expected. I also weighed a 10 pound dumbbell and found the reading to be accurate.
Given the low price, I am very happy with this purchase.

This scale is a pretty neat product. I bought this to use as a luggage scale when travelling to keep track of the weight and it does that. The screen is visible, buttons easy to press.
There are two things that I do not like with the product: 1) The handle for holding the scale, a thin strap, this has proven to not be practical with a very heavy load, especially if you have big hands. If you are weighing small/light weight items it is not really a problem.
2) A weight reading lock in feature, this is where you weigh an item and it saves the reading for you (lock in) when you take the item off the scale, the problem I have encountered is that with HEAVIER ITEMS, it locks in the weight reading TOO QUICKLY, that is, it gives you a weight reading before it actually reaches the weight of the item you are weighing. So you can end up with an incorrect weight reading if the item you are weighing is heavy. WITHOUT the weight reading lock in feature activated, it seems to be QUITE ACCURATE.

I love this scale. I bought it to weigh my items and backpack after filling it for distance hiking and am very happy with it. Super cheap and seems accurate. Would definitely recommend to others for this application.
