I may travel a lot but I also encounter some packing blunders such as overweight and underweight luggage when I’m not backpacking. I remember when I got really stressed out in Singapore Airport as I was relying on sharing my excess baggage weight with my companions, to find out it can’t be done since I have a separate ticket. I had to make adjustments on my luggage by removing items and weighing several times just to get it right. I certainly don’t want to pay the SG$15/kg excess baggage fee.
Then there’s another boo-boo of bringing less luggage on my way back to Manila from Guam since I misread the scale, reading lbs instead of kg. I didn’t bring as much presents as I could have because of that.
After seeing Kaoko‘s handy luggage scale at the Macau Airport on our way back to Manila, I thought that was a very useful travel gear. So when I got back to Manila, I remembered that I should find one for myself. I got the same one as Kaoko’s but returned it after I found it defective. Then I got this digital luggage scale from Design Go called Weight To Go. It’s a digital luggage scale which is more expensive than the analog ones but there’s a lot to like with this one.
What I like:
- Compact and sleek design
- 40kg weight limit
- Digitally Accurate
- Weight is recorded and stored after weighing (just press “reset” to clear)
- Initial 2 Triple A batteries included
What I didn’t care for
- Loose handle lifts (it would be nice to have a locking mechanism to avoid unintentional sliding)
- Slightly steep price tag
The Design Go Weigh To GO Digital Luggage Scale SRP is P1890. Available at ROX, BratPack and Travel Club branches.
