Balanzza TOO Digital Luggage Scale
Monday, March 30, 2009Can we tell you how many times we’ve arrived at the airport all gleeful about our vacation, only to be slapped with a fee for extra weight? It seems the hubby’s ability to pack a zillion items efficiently is actually a bad thing- who knew? And we thought we’d wised up when we started putting the luggage on the scale at home, except that didn’t really help at the tail end of the trip after a few purchases…
That said, we love this new digital luggage scale from Balanzza, due out in May 2009. You strap the handle onto your luggage, lift, and voila! Instant weight. Of course, the key is to do this at home while you can still remove various items without pressure and prying eyes (do you really need 5 bathing suits for a 5-night vacation?) Don’t forget to take it with you; it runs on 2 AAA batteries and is both small and light enough to be squirreled away in your carry-on after it’s done its job. This version upgrades the current model with a handy flashlight and timer alarm. (Still not convinced? Check out this handy airline baggage fee chart that the folks at Balanzza conveniently have on their site.)
Balanzza TOO, available May 2009, MSRP $32.99
