Detailed Review of the FreeToo Portable Digital Luggage Scale
The unit you will receive is metallic red, with a silver underside. It comes with a hook and canvas strap, that you can attach your case with. There is a single button, and a digital display. It comes with a battery, and weighs in at just 90 grams. This low weight is ideal, it makes the Freetoo digital travel scale easy to slip into your case. That extra weight should not push you over the limit – and you’ll be free to weigh your cases on the return journey.
The FreeToo Travel Scales in Action
You can see from the gallery on this amazon page how it works. Whether you lift with one hand or two will depend on the size of the bag. The sturdy canvas strap has a buckle, which hooks around the handle of your bag. After this is attached, you simply lift the bag by holding the case. As soon as the bag is steady, you’ll have an accurate readout of the weight. Once the reading is stable, the displayed weight locks – meaning you will not be chasing the weight up and down.
This scale is accurate to within 0.01KG (10 grams), which is plenty good enough for travel purposes. You can weight bags of up to 50KGs using it. That does assume you are able to lift the device when it has a 50KG case hanging from it.
Kilos, grams, pounds and ounces are all available. To toggle to your preferred unit, you keep hitting the power on button. There is an auto power-off, which means you will not be draining the battery if you accidentally leave it switched on. The LCD display is back-lit, making it suitable for use in lower light conditions.
What Previous Buyers of the Freetoo Digital Travel Scale Said?
The word which repeats over and over in the buyer comments is ‘useful’. Those comments are almost all top ratings too. It is not just about knowing the weight for many users. The real advantage is peace of mind. The knowledge that you will not get turned away from check in to repack in a crowded airport is worth the price of this item many times over.
Some negative comments came from people who has difficulty lifting their case. A few faulty units also caused complaints. These are a tiny proportion.
No assembly is needed, though you will need to remove the protective seal which prevents the battery from going flat.
Wrapping Up: The FreeToo Digital Travel Scale
This is a simple and inexpensive solution to a growing problem of airlines getting overly strict on luggage weights. You can simply strap this to your case and lift – giving its weight within 10grams.
