Traveling is already stressful enough as is, but when you tack on unwanted baggage fees — or the pressure of having to re-pack and shove things into your personal bag at the luggage counter — it can put a damper on your vacation. Luckily, there is an easy (and affordable) solution to this problem: a luggage scale. Portable, accurate, and multi-functional, it’s the best travel hack to save you time and money while packing.

Because luggage scales range in size, price, and shape, we took it upon ourselves to put 15 options to the test. Some proved to be perfectly accurate when we weighed 10- and 25-pound kettlebells, while others were not accurate at all, and others even broke en route to our lab, showing that shopping for a simple luggage scale may not be as easy as you think. Here are the six reliable luggage scales that we tested and can’t recommend enough for travelers looking for peace of mind when it comes to weighing a suitcase.

Best Overall

Travel inspira digital luggage scale.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Precision 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5

The handle has a non-slip grip for lifting heavy luggage easily.

The backlit screen could be a bit brighter.

Lifting luggage requires a lot of effort so we love that this handy digital scale has a non-slip grip material on the inside of the handle to make it easier to hold on to the scale while you measure the weight. The scale turns on with a simple click of a button that also controls the settings from pounds to kilograms — and it also has a temperature gauge in both Celsius and Fahrenheit options. We had no issues hooking the loop through a luggage handle and securing the clip back onto the scale, and we found that the scale was extremely accurate, varying just a few ounces from the kettlebell weights we used. We also like that the screen holds the final weight so you have time to read the number. It’s also super compact, which makes it easy to toss into your bag after you weigh it to have the scale on hand for your return trip home.

Most Durable

Etekcity digital luggage scale.

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5
• Precision 4.3 /5

Our team uses this scale in the lab to test hundreds of pieces of luggage, and it's still in excellent shape.

It’s compact and doesn’t have the best grip.

Our Travel + Leisure team has tested hundreds of suitcases in our lab, and we always measure the weight of the suitcases with this handy scale. A testament to the durability of the device, this scale can withstand time and rough handling, especially if you stuff it into your checked bag after making sure it’s underweight. It’s intuitive to use with two buttons to turn the device on and off or to switch between units of measurement, and the fabric loop with a metal clip is easy to attach to a luggage handle. With just a few ounces of weight difference using several kettlebells, we think it’s mostly accurate, but we always think it’s smart to give yourself some wiggle room with luggage weight, just in case. Designed to be pocket-size, we love the compact shape, but it does make it slightly difficult to get a good grip while lifting a suitcase.

The Details: Digital | 110-pound capacity | Pounds, kilograms, Fahrenheit, Celcius

Best Budget

Dr. meter 110 lb luggage scale.

It’s the most accurate scale we tested under $10.

It doesn’t have a non-slip grip like other scales we tested.

If you’re in a hurry to get a few last-minute items before a trip (like a luggage scale, of course), this wallet-friendly one is a great option that can arrive quickly thanks to Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping. In testing, senior editor Jasmine Grant loved how intuitive the scale is to use with the no-frills design. There are two buttons on the scale: one for turning the device on and off and the other for switching between pound and kilograms or to use the temperature gauge. Similar to our overall pick, this scale was accurate with the 10- and 25-pound kettlebell weights we used with just a few ounces of discrepancy. The scale is extremely lightweight and compact for storing at home or in a suitcase , but because of its compact size, it was slightly less comfortable to grip — which isn’t a deal-breaker for us.

The Details: Digital | 110-pound capacity | Pounds, kilograms, fahrenheit, celsius | Backlit

Best Built-in Measuring Tape

Kingon digital hanging luggage scale.

• Ease of Use 4.8 /5
• Precision 4.5 /5

This scale contains a built-in measuring tape that can be used to measure luggage on the go.

The metal hook could be a bit bigger to accommodate large luggage handles.

Airlines have been cracking down on luggage requirements and baggage fees , so we love that this scale comes with a built-in tape measure. This can be particularly useful for expandable luggage, as you can use the tape measure to see if your carry-on is small enough to fit the airline restrictions for the overhead bins. Besides the helpful extra feature for measuring size, the scale also impressed us with an ultra-durable design that feels like it can endure even the roughest of luggage handling at the airport. The handle is made with steel metal coated in rubber for a superior grip, and the screen is much bigger than other scales we tested so you can easily see the weight in kilograms or pounds. The scale was no more than five ounces off when we measured the kettlebells, and the hook makes it easy to lift luggage from the handle (unless the handle is super thick, then it might be more difficult). T+L testing editor Jackie Cucco also appreciated that the scale screen says “hi” and “bye” when she turned it on and off with the press of a button.

The Details: Digital | 110-pound capacity | Pounds, kilograms | Backlit | Built-in tape measure

Best Battery-free

Ozeri twist-and-go kinetic kitchen and luggage scale.

• Ease of Use 4 /5

All you have to do is twist the device to light up the screen.

The loop doesn’t have a clip, which makes it difficult to attach luggage.

The beauty of this motion-powered device is that you won’t have to worry about batteries dying when you’re traveling. We twisted the device about four times to activate the digital screen, which has a little battery icon to depict when it’s low on power and needs kinetic energy to charge up. Like other scales we tried, this one read just a few ounces off from the kettlebells we weighed, so we think it’s as accurate as possible. The small, circular shape makes it easy to store in a drawer at home or in a pocket of a carry-on backpack since it’s very compact. Because it doesn’t have an ergonomic handle, the grip isn’t as good as T-shape luggage scales, but this one is quite a bit smaller, which is a plus for packing. Another thing to note is that the loop doesn’t have a clip that comes off of the rope, so you’ll have to snake the device through the loop to get it to attach to luggage.

The Details: Kinetically charged | 77-pound capacity | Pounds, kilograms

Best Manual

Samsonite manual scale.

This was the only device we tested with perfect weight accuracy.

It’s a bit larger and heavier than digital scales.

The most accurate luggage scale we tried, this manual one from Samsonite provided the most accurate reading for our 10- and 25-pound weights. All of the digital scales we tested were just a few ounces off — which isn’t unusual when it’s not a large discrepancy — but we were pleased to see this one depict an exact “10” and “25” on the weight scale. The scale is large enough to read quickly but when we picked up a 50-pound suitcase, it was a little harder to read with shaky hands. However, the handle is comfortable to hold, and you can safely secure the hook to a suitcase once you shimmy it under the handle. It’s a bit bigger than a digital scale, but we think it’s worth it for a durable and completely accurate scale (that also doesn’t require any batteries or extra effort to turn on).

The Details: Manual | 80-pound capacity | Pounds, kilograms | Built-in tape measure

Other Luggage Scales We Liked

Out of the 15 luggage scales we tried, there were a few that didn’t quite make our list of best scales due to some minor inconsistencies noted below.

Taylor Ultra Light Digital Luggage Scale : It’s easy to use, and we love that it beeps once the reading is complete. However, the materials feel a bit flimsy, and that made us question the durability of the scale.

Travelon Stop & Lock Luggage Scale : Similar to the best manual scale we tested, this one was spot-on accurate, but the handle is uncomfortable to hold and the materials feel cheaply made.

Tumi Electronic Luggage Scale : This scale is sleek and compact, but it didn’t have the most accurate reading and comes at a premium price tag ($75).

Travel + Leisure / Alexander Huang

A luggage scale may seem like a simple product to purchase, but trust us when we say there are some less-than-ideal options on the market. After researching and purchasing a variety of luggage scales, we had all of them shipped to our New York City lab and some showed up broken, cracked, and one was even leaking oil. However, after testing the 15 scales that were usable, we found six that stood out from others for several reasons. While numerical accuracy is extremely important, we didn’t fault any scales that were just a few ounces off from the 10- and 25-pound kettlebell weights and 50-pound suitcase we lifted.

We also judged the scales on how easy it was to use and operate each one and noted how durable and functional the buttons, loops, hooks, screens, and handles were. Since the scales came in different sizes, materials, and shapes, we also took note of how comfortable they were to lift heavy objects and if the materials felt built to last.

Tips for Buying Luggage Scales

Decide if you want something digital or manual.

Based on our testing experience, there are pros and cons to both manual and digital scales. The digital scales were generally more lightweight and easier to read than the clunkier manual scales without backlit LCD screens. However, the manual scales are the most accurate ones and don’t require batteries or charging, so you’ll never have to worry about the device dying while traveling.

Look for preferred units of measurement

While the U.S. uses the imperial system, the rest of the world uses the metric system, so be sure to get a luggage scale with your preferred unit of measurement. Since some international airlines will list their weight restrictions in kilograms, it might be nice to have a scale that has both so you don’t have to attempt mental math while in a hurry to weigh and check your bag. Additionally, some digital scales also come with a temperature gauge in Fahrenheit or Celsius, which could be helpful for travelers.

Pay attention to additional features

Luggage scales might seem like they only have one job, but some come with special features for more than one task. Some devices have tape measures and temperature gauges built in, and some luggage scales are motion-powered, which uses kinetic energy to charge the digital screen of the scale without needing batteries. Also, be sure to double-check the weight limit of luggage scales, as that can vary as well, and you don’t want to break your scale by overloading it.

Frequently Asked Questions

A luggage scale will usually come with instructions, but in general, all you have to do is attach the scale to a suitcase via the hook or loop on the scale, and then turn on the device before lifting up the luggage. Once you lift the luggage by the scale, wait for the scale or screen (if digital) to hold a number to get the accurate reading. Most digital scales have the ability to tare if you’re looking to do some specific weight measurements.

Scales are allowed on airplanes in checked or carry-on bags. If you measure your bag before getting to the airport and you’re right on the cusp of the weight limit, you might want to put the scale in your personal item to avoid going over the weight limit by accident.

A bathroom scale can work to measure luggage at home. However, if your hotel or accommodations doesn’t have a scale for the journey home, then you’ll be left guessing, which is risky. One of the best parts of a luggage scale is that it’s specifically designed with portability in mind so you’ll never have to worry about luggage limitations or the fees that come with it.

Most luggage scales are accurate, especially when purchasing a reputable product. If you have access to another scale, you can use it to test the accuracy of your luggage scale. Regardless, it's always a good idea to keep your luggage a pound or two lighter than the maximum weight limit, just in case your scale isn't entirely accurate. This will prevent your bag from being too heavy when you reach the airport.

If you fly frequently, or if you fly just on occasion, you know that each checked bag at the airport should weigh 50lbs or less. If your luggage weighs more than 50lbs then you will have to pay overweight fees and the overweight fees for luggage are very high. You can be charged as much as two hundred dollars for a piece of luggage that weighs between 71 and 100 pounds.

The best way to avoid incurring overweight luggage fees when you travel is for you to buy a luggage scale and weigh your luggage before you go to the airport. We researched many scales that fit this description and chose the following items as the best luggage scales of 2022.

Top Rated Luggage Weighing Scales Comparison

What is the best way to weigh luggage.

The easiest and most accurate way to weigh luggage is by using a luggage scale that has a hook on one end to hold the luggage suspended off of the floor while the weighing process occurs.

These scales allow you to get a precise reading on the weight of your luggage without you worrying about the unlevel conditions of the floor that can be caused by carpeting or the settling of the building you are in.

Place the scale in a secure area like in a doorway. Turn the scale on and make sure it is reading 0.0 before you start to weigh your luggage. Hang the luggage from the hook and give it a few seconds to stop swaying.

Best Luggage Weighing Scales – Buying Guide

If you are shopping for luggage scales there are some things to consider that will help you find the scales that will suit your needs the best.

The Size of The Scale

If you are shopping for scales that you can travel with you want to make certain that the units you are comparing are compact and lightweight. You do not want to add additional weight to your luggage when you add the scale.

The Weight Limitations of the Scale

You want to make certain that you get a scale that will weigh as much as seventy five pounds or more. The average airline restriction on the weight of luggage is 50 pounds for luggage flying in the luggage hold compartment and about 25 pounds for luggage that is being carried into the cabin of the plane.

The Features and Accessories

The following features are commonly seen on luggage scales and depending on the type of traveling you do, or whether you want scales that are capable of being used in multiple ways, these features can be an added bonus.

• Auto shut off features increase the life of your battery by shutting the device down after a pre-determined amount of time. This feature is also handy when you carry the scale in your suitcase while you travel because the scale will not be accidentally powered on and the battery discharged because of it.
• TARE features allow you to weigh things that are loose by placing them in a container and then displays the weight of the contents minus the weight of the container
• Measuring tapes that allow you to measure the size of your luggage
• Backlit LCD display screens with large numbers that are easy to read
• The scale’s ability to display weight amounts in pounds and kilograms.
• The weight lock in feature that causes the display amounts to stop fluctuating after the scale has determined the final weight
• Easy to grip handles that help you to lift your luggage
• Straps to hold the luggage while it is being weighed. Some scales have hooks for this purpose but the straps buckle so the luggage does not slip.
• Thermometers that tell you the temperature of the room

When you are shopping for scales to use to weigh luggage you might want to consider scales that are multi-functional. Scales with flat platforms can usually weigh heavier items but these scales are not as easy to transport if you wish to take the scales with you when you travel.

How Do Luggage Scales Work?

Luggage scales measure the mass of an object that is attached to the scale by a hook or a strap. Most luggage scales hold the luggage above the floor by hanging the luggage rather than having a platform that the package sits on top of.  It is very easy to use a digital luggage scale.

Connect the luggage to the scale

You will either pull the metal hook that is on the end of the strap through the handle of your luggage and then fastens the metal hook into its closure like you would fasten a seat belt, or you hang an opened faced hook through the handle of the luggage.

Power on the scale

You turn the power on before you lift the luggage. You want to make certain that the digital display is reading 0.00 before you lift the luggage.

Use the handle on the scales to lift your piece of luggage

It is suggested that you use two hands to do this so that the luggage is steadier and stabilized. If you are unsteady or moving then the scale may have a hard time locking a weight of the luggage in. You might want to hang the luggage in a doorway so that you are not influencing the weight. If you do hang the luggage in a doorway hold the luggage steady for a few seconds and let go slowly so the luggage does not swing or sway.

Read the Weight Display

You then look at the digital display screen and see what the luggage weighs.

If you are weighing more than one piece of luggage be sure to zero the scale out before you put the new piece of luggage on it. This will assure that you get the weight of the bag that is on the scale not a combination of that bag and the previous bag.

Curious mind is there an accurate way to weigh luggage without a scale? The answer is no for the word accurate. Yes, there are several ways to weigh your luggage but none of them provide you with an accurate weight for sure.

FAQ’s

Why should you buy a luggage scale.

A lot of flights have strict weight limits for the luggage passengers can bring. Owning a luggage scale allows you to know how much your baggage weighs before you arrive at the airport so you are not surprised by extra luggage weight charges.

Where Will You Use Your Luggage Weight Scale?

Your luggage weight scale will be useful to use at home or in a hotel when you travel. Knowing the precise weight of your baggage when you are returning from a trip lets you decide which items can be in your carry-on luggage and which ones will have to go in the cargo hold section of the plane.

How Is Baggage Weight Calculated?

The entire weight of the bag or container plus the contents of the bag or container are calculated. You want to weigh your luggage empty so you can see how much you can pack in the bag.

Airlines are very strict about how much a piece of luggage can weigh. If your luggage weighs even one pound over their weight limit then they will charge you for the extra weight. The normal weight limits at airports are 50 lbs. for a piece of luggage flying in the cargo hold of the plane. It will cost you between $25 and $40 dollars to check that bag in. If your bag weighs 51 to 70 pounds you can increase that check in cost to about $100 dollars.

Having a travel luggage weight scale at home will allow you to weigh your luggage prior to leaving your house so you can take things out of the suitcase if you need to. These scales are capable of saving you a lot of money.

The best luggage scales are the ones that can be used in many different ways to weigh many different types of items.

Luggage scales will tell you just how much your belongings weigh before you’ve even left the house.

These neat little gadgets can protect you against the expense of excess baggage charges and ensure that you’re never faced with any nasty surprises at check-in.

Not only will your luggage scale help you keep tabs on the weight of your case before you embark on your journey, but they’re also super useful for the return journey, too.

For many of us, it’s incredibly tempting to fill up any spare space with souvenirs and bargains from trips away, which can sometimes lead to the type of weight gain we like to avoid — exceeding the maximum luggage weight limit .

Airlines love to charge for overweight luggage, so shop yourself silly, but stay safe by taking your luggage scale with you for the journey home.

Hot Tip: One more thing — don’t think you can beat the system by popping your cases on the bathroom scales before you go. These will not give you an accurate weight reading, and you could still face excess charges when you slip the same case on the scale at the check-in desk.

All types of luggage scales are useful, but not all are equal. Before you buy, be sure to take into consideration the following:

How Much Weight Can It Hold?

If your scale doesn’t have the capacity to weigh as much as your case does, then it becomes pretty useless.

Every set of scales, digital, bathroom, or otherwise, will have a maximum load weight limit. Make sure the scale’s maximum weight limit is higher than you ever expect to pack.

As a point of reference, most digital travel scales can weigh bags of up to 100 pounds, which is between 40 or 50 kilograms. For most airlines, 100 pounds is significantly past the weight limit, meaning your scale can weigh anything you need it to when flying.

How Accurate Is It?

Accuracy is vital when it comes to weighing your luggage, and the scales you use will need to be as accurate as possible to ensure you’re not accidentally overpacking.

While the sensitivity of individual scales can cause them to vary from one to another by just a few grams, weights that are wildly inaccurate can cost you your hard-earned cash at check-in.

How Does It Measure Weight?

Most airlines will display their maximum weight allowance in both metric and imperial, so choosing the best measurement of weight is a personal choice.

Choose the one that’s easier for you to work with.

How V isible Is the Display?

Your scale is only useful if you can read the weight of the items you want to weigh.

Digital scales should be easy to read at all times, and those that offer a backlight have the advantage of being easy to read in the dark.

How Hard-wearing Is It?

Luggage scales can be compact and lightweight without being flimsy. While the price may be a major consideration when it comes to your buying choices, do make sure that you pick a scale that’s sturdy enough to go the distance.

Check both the strap, the attachments, and any other pressure-bearing points to ensure that they look up to the job at hand. Don’t be swayed by fancy features if the basic components look weak!

How Reliable Is It?

Digital scales run on batteries, and inevitably, they’ll need replacing at some point.

Before you buy, check that the model has a low battery indicator. Always check the batteries before you depart so you don’t find yourself at your destination with a dead scale.

As well, some scales have the ability to alert you with a warning indicator if something is wrong, preventing you from traveling with a malfunctioning piece of equipment.

Does It Have a Weight Lock?

Just as low battery indicators are useful, so are practical features like a weight or data lock.

This little function simply locks the screen display on the weight of the item, giving you more time to read the results.

Is It Easy To Carry With You?

Your travel scale should be compact, lightweight, and super easy to take away with you. After all, if it is big and heavy, that very much defeats the object. Travel light, even with your scale.

Is It Easy To Hold On To?

Most weighing scales need to be suspended in the air to give an accurate reading of the result. Before you buy, check the length and strength of the handle, and make sure that you’re happy that it will be comfortable for you to use.

Best Luggage Scale To Help Avoid Baggage Fees

Finding the best luggage scale for you can do more than save you money in baggage fees. In this post, we’ll review the best models and why we like them.

Okay, we know what you might be thinking. A post on the best luggage scale; does it matter that much? Well, we think so!

Whether you’re paying for a checked bag, a carry on is included with your flight, or you want to make sure your personal item isn’t too heavy, bringing a luggage scale along for the ride is a great way to save weight and cash. You might buy souvenirs on your trip, pick up some rocks on the beach, or wear different clothing on the plane ride home. If you have a luggage scale with you, there’s no guessing whether you’ll be good at the gate, no matter where the destination is.

Most of the scales on this list are similar; however, many have unique features, a design perk we dig, or can be used for more than just weighing your pack. Before we dive into the list, let’s chat about a few things.

Before you hit the airport, you have a few things to consider. Do you plan to purchase many things on your trip? If so, you must account for that future weight in your pack before leaving. Is your destination a drastically different climate than your home? Climate changes can have a massive impact on what you wear. If you don heavier clothing on the way to your destination and pack them away on the way home, that adds weight.

After the theoretical thinking is done, it’s essential to look at your airline’s regulations for luggage. Make sure your items fall under that range using your brand-spanking-new luggage scale, and you’ll be all set.

Okay, I think we’re ready to dive in! Time to find the best luggage scale for you.

• Etekcity EL11 Digital Luggage Scale
• FREETOO Portable Travel Scale
• Amazon Basics Portable Digital Luggage Scale
• EatSmart SmartGrip Digital Handheld Luggage Scale
• Samsonite Global Travel Accessories Manual Luggage Scale
• AIR SCALE Luggage Scale
• Ozeri Twist-and-Go Kinetic Kitchen and Luggage Scale

If you're looking for a slice of what it's like to be at Pack Hacker HQ (without joining Pack Hacker Pro , of course), look no further than the Etekcity Digital Hanging Luggage Scale. We use this scale to weigh things in the office multiple times a week and haven't had any issues with it. If that doesn't sell you, we can get down to brass tacks.

In addition to working as a scale, this device measures temperature. This might seem odd, but it can be useful in certain situations. Suppose you're sensitive to certain temperatures while sleeping. In that case, you can get an accurate reading of the temperature where you'll be sleeping and adjust the hotel room's heating and cooling system accordingly.

This might be the best luggage scale for those looking for extras and ease of use!

• It has a thermostat for temperature readings
• The Pack Hacker team uses this one frequently without issue
• There are limited weight units available
• It can be hard to loop through small openings

The FREETOO Portable Luggage Scale comes in a similar style to many others we've tested, is easy to operate, and can handle up to 110 lbs (just under 50 Kg). The scale only weighs just over 3 ounces (90 grams), so you won't waste much weight in your pack.

At the time of writing, there are three colorways available. Black is sleek, Red has a pop of color that might match your style, and Silver feels classic. The logo is relatively large, which might not be what everyone looks for in a piece of travel gear, even if it's only a digital luggage scale.

This offering from FREETOO is simple, colorful (if you want it to be), and gets the job done. Considering its current sub-$15 price point, it's a capable model that might be the best scale for you.

• It comes in a small size but can still handle over 100 pounds
• The screen is bright so that you can see the reading easily
• Hard to use for smaller items
• The design might not curry favor with minimalist travelers

You probably knew this was coming. A small device that used to be available at any big box store? This has Amazon Basics written all over it! Their Portable Digital Luggage Weight Scale works as we'd expect it to and comes in at a price that's hard to beat. But how well does it work? Let's chat about it.

Similar to many digital luggage scales, this thing can handle a maximum of 110 lbs, or just under 50 Kg. That's more than enough for most trips, and we've found it accurate, too. It takes a CR2032 battery, which is readily available online, but ours has shown no signs of dying any time soon.

There's just one colorway available, and there aren't any bells or whistles. However, we don’t expect there to be. Amazon Basics products are often simple, no-frills options for those looking for gear on a budget. Amazon doesn't deviate from that idea here, making this one of the best luggage scale models on the market!

• Excellent price-for-value ratio
• The design isn't revolutionary, but it's sleek
• Not many extra features
• It might not be worth it if you don't have Amazon Prime

Most luggage weight scale models we've come across have a metal piece that hooks onto another part of the strap to connect. This is easy enough; however, the EatSmart Luggage Scale uses a more familiar method. It utilizes a plastic buckle, which is easier for those with larger hands or mobility issues.

For most weighing situations, the design utilized by EatSmart is more comfortable. You can use one hand comfortably and still read the screen. However, it can be hard to hold properly or read the screen for heavier items that you need two arms to lift. It's still possible, but more awkward than the design we've tested time and time again. This isn't an issue if you're weighing smaller items (or never skip arm day).

The scale can weigh items up to 110 lbs (just under 50 Kg), and in our testing, was accurate. It's small enough to pack inside your bag without much fuss and may be the best luggage scale for you!

• The design is more comfortable than others we've tested
• Buckle design is unique when compared to standard metal latch
• It can be hard to read the screen for larger or heavier bags that require more hand grip
• The top screen doesn't feel very durable

If you never want to buy a battery for your digital scale again, we've sorted out your next weighing scale for luggage. The Samsonite GlobalManual scale doesn't utilize batteries, so you don't have to worry about them dying. It's a full analog experience, so you'll never need batteries (for this purpose) again!

The design is simple. When you put weight on the metal hook, the red cursor moves clockwise to indicate how heavy the item is. Unless you suspend the scale, you can't see the face, so you don't know how heavy the thing is. A black cursor stays put at the highest weight, so you can see the reading after you set the pack down. This takes some getting used to but is a small tradeoff for not needing batteries.

This luggage weight scale only goes up to 75 lbs (roughly 35 Kg), less than others on this list but capable of most travel needs. Typically, the maximum weight for a checked bag is 50 lbs and around 30 lbs for a carry on, so you (likely) won't get close to either of those while using this scale!

• It doesn't use batteries, so you don't have to worry about them dying
• The style is uniquely analog
• It's harder to read without assistance
• Using it will take some getting used to if you own a digital scale

There are few options if you're looking for a digital luggage scale that doesn't need batteries. However, the AIRSCALE is a worthy piece of gear that easily slides into your pack. It's powered by kinetic energy, which is bolstered when you shake the scale.

The scale is larger than others we've encountered, but it still fits inside your travel backpack or daypack without much fuss. The design looks sleek, which we dig. Only a white colorway is available at the time of writing, but it hasn't gotten dirty in our testing.

If you weigh your luggage a lot or have a big family, there might be a better luggage weight scale for you. The exercise of shaking it is simple, but it gets old after a while. If everyone in your extended family decides to have you use the scale for the family trip to Florida, you'll be sore by the end of the afternoon. How many bags can Uncle Ahmad possibly bring with him?

If you're trying to kick batteries but still want a screen, this might be the scale for you!

• It's a digital scale that doesn't require batteries
• The design is sleek and minimalistic
• Not ideal for a lot of luggage because you have to shake it a lot
• It's larger than some scales we've tested

If you're looking for a scale that can be used for things other than luggage, look no further than the Ozeri Twist-and-Go Kinetic Kitchen and Luggage Scale.

Let's be honest; you can use almost any of the scales on this list in the kitchen or at home. However, will you want to? The Ozeri is thoughtfully designed with multiple uses in mind, so although it might not be the best luggage scale around, it does well at any task you may have for it.

Another perk of the Ozeri Twist-and-Go is that it doesn't need batteries. It utilizes kinetic energy through a simple twist mechanism to power on. It's smaller than most of the luggage scales we've tested and has a unique shape, too. This tailors it for home and kitchen use but makes it more challenging for heavy checked bags.

If you like to combine gear for unique uses, the Ozeri Twist-and-Go Kinetic Kitchen and Luggage Scale might be the best for you!

• It can be used for luggage or general home and kitchen use
• The scale doesn't require batteries to function
• It can be challenging to use for larger and heavier items
• The scale takes some getting used to

So there you have it; some of the best luggage scale models for your next trip! Whether you’re going to London or Lagos, you can weigh your pack to ensure you don’t get extra baggage fees.

12 Of The Best Luggage Scales Review & Comparison Chart

This guide to the best luggage scale reviews will save you the stress of packing and going over your luggage allowance.

If you’ve traveled lately, you will undoubtedly know about the stress of packing and sticking to a luggage allowance. It’s stressful! If you exceed the limit, you risk a huge airport fee for excess luggage. But if you’re under, you might regret that you could have packed more!

How can you answer this problem?

Find the best luggage weighing scale. Luggage scales are an excellent solution for this. There are several on the market, and you will need to know the best luggage scales for your particular needs. First things first, however: what are luggage scales exactly?

Skip Ahead To My Advice Here!

What Is A Luggage Scale?

The clue is in the title. Luggage scales are designed for weighing luggage, whether it’s your suitcase or your carry-on bag, rather than scales that you stand on. The most common design is a hook scale. You hook your suitcase onto these scales and lift, accurately measuring how much your case weighs. This type of luggage scale is typically a handheld scale.

There are other designs, too, such as scales that you place on the floor and balance your case on top of. However, a floor luggage scale is much less common because it doesn’t give you the same amount of accuracy for this critical job.

Why Should You Buy A Luggage Scale?

We answered this question in our first paragraph. You should purchase a luggage scale to keep you within your baggage allowance and stop you from packing too much and falling foul of excess baggage charges.

This will leave you with more cash for cocktails! Taking a lightweight scale with you on your travels is also a good idea because if you plan on shopping while you’re away, your case will weigh more when you come back than when you left.

The best portable luggage scale is also designed to be long-lasting and durable. So, once you buy a good quality set of scales, these should last you for many years and trips.

How large are the scales? If you’re planning on taking them with you, you need them to be small and possibly even fold up. This lets you put them in your case without issues.

Weight Capacity

Check plenty of portable luggage scale reviews for how accurate the scales are. If you buy a cheap pair, the chances are that they won’t be ultra-accurate. And then you’re wasting your money and potentially putting yourself at risk of going over your weight allowance and paying excess charges.

Measurement Type

Different countries have different ways of presenting measures, e.g., imperial and metric, so make sure the scales you pick give you the correct measurements you can understand.

It’s essential to check the best luggage scale reviews to see how durable the scales are. You don’t want them breaking when you place a heavy bag on them, and you need them to handle the weight you ask them to handle comfortably.

Ease Of Transportation

Do the scales fold up for easy travel ? This is important to consider if you want to take them with you. If they are lightweight, too, that’s an obvious benefit.

Updated June 12, 2023

Nothing shatters the zen-like calm that comes in the wake of an amazing vacation or productive business trip faster than unexpected baggage fees. Your luggage might have been light enough to avoid getting fleeced on your outgoing flight, but that bottle of duty-free scotch and the souvenirs you snagged for your nephew were heavy enough to get agents at the check-in counter salivating on the way back.

The recommendations in this guide are based on thorough product and market research by our team of expert product reviewers. The picks are based on examining user reviews, product specifications, and, in some limited cases, our experience with the specific products named.

The Dr. Meter Digital Luggage Scale is our pick for the best luggage scale, and it wins on a number of fronts. Most importantly, it was able to accurately measure all of the weights I threw at it to within a few decimal places, and it can do so in either pounds or kilograms. It comes with a bright and easy-to-read backlit LCD display, its buttons are well placed, and its high-quality plastic and aluminum body feels tough enough to provide years of service. Since it only weighs 3.25 ounces, you’ll never even notice that you have it with you until it comes time to put it to use.

To use it, you simply turn it on, attach it to the handle of your luggage, and lift. Easy. Once it obtains a solid reading, the measurement shows up solidly on the display.

This digital display luggage scale looks identical to the Dr. Meter digital scale I recommend—so much so, that I’m willing to bet they were built by the same original manufacturer. Still, there are a couple of significant differences between the pair that make the Etekcity model a lesser choice.

First, the Etekcity scale is usually priced higher than the Dr. Meter scale despite its near-identical feature set and accuracy. Second, this scale doesn’t come with a backlit display, making it more difficult to use in some lighting conditions. End result? It’s not a terrible product, but it’s not that great, either.

I’ve generally been a fan of AmazonBasics products in the past, but I think your better choice is our Best Overall pick. While it's solidly built, it costs slightly more and doesn’t offer a backlit display.

The Travelon Stop and Lock worked about as well as you can expect for an analog scale, but I still can't recommend it. Beyond the inaccuracy inherent in any mechanical luggage scale, the Stop and Lock suffers from weak build quality and a bulky design. It’s on the heavy side at 6.24 ounces, and its rest knob also sticks out far enough to get snagged on clothing in your suitcase—something that drives me more than a little nuts.

It does have a built-in tape measure, though. So, there’s that.

This lightweight luggage scale is great for weighing items on the go and includes an auto shut off function in order to preserve battery life. With a 110-pound weight limit and the option of four units of measure, you can travel with peace of mind.

While we haven't tested this model, it gets high marks and Amazon reviews like how brightly lit the screen is, making it easy to read, even for older eyes. Though the instructions are said to be a bit of a pain, this luggage scale is intuitive enough and people are pleased at the inexpensive price tag.

How We Tested

The most important requirement for a great travel scale is accuracy. After all, if it can't provide a reliable reading of your bags' weight, you'll be on the hook for fees at the airport.

To make sure your scale doesn't leave you high and dry, I started with three different types of luggage—a hockey bag, a soft-sided suitcase, and a hard-sided suitcase—and used a household digital scale to determine their empty weight. I then weighed each bag again, using the 10 scales I called in for testing.

Next, I prepared test weights. The first group of weights consisted of 25-, 50-, and 75-pound increments made up of solid stuff like flats of canned goods and car batteries that wouldn’t shift while being weighed. The second group used the same increments, this time composed of items you might actually travel with—clothing, booze, a laptop, backpacking gear, and SCUBA equipment—to simulate the more unbalanced bags found in the real world.

Finally, I placed the test weights inside our three pieces of luggage and obtained baseline weights for each combo, then measured them again using each luggage scale. Most of the digital scales produced readings within a few decimal points of the baseline. However, I was able to eliminate one model right away due to inaccurate readings. Mechanical scales are considered to be inherently less accurate, and our testing certainly bore that out. However, for some shoppers a few pounds of variance might be a worthwhile trade-off for near-instant measurement. After all, not everyone is able to dead-lift and hold a 75-pound bag long enough to get a reading from a digital scale.

But accuracy isn't the only requirement for luggage scales: they should do their job in a timely manner, too. With this in mind, I gave each scale a time limit of five seconds to return a solid reading. This rule immediately knocked out two more contenders.

With my list of seven finalists in hand, I then examined build quality, extra features, ergonomics, and the weight of the scales themselves to determine the best of the best.

Why Not Use a Bathroom Scale, Instead?

If you already have a bathroom scale at home, it might be tempting to use it to weigh your luggage before heading off to the airport. I don't recommend it, for a number of reasons. First, What your luggage might weigh at home and what it weighs on your return flight, once you've packed it full of soviengers, binders and other business meeting spoils or new clothes bought along the way. While a few additional items in your bag might seem like a big deal, a little bit of additional weight can lead to you being forced to ditch some of your belongings before returning home or face outlandish overweight fees for topping out what your airline feels is acceptable. Second, and perhaps more importantly, its difficult to get a trustworthy weight out of a bathroom scale when weighing luggage: if your bag is poorly balanced on the scale, you might be treated to an inaccurate reading that shows the bag as being well under the airline's maximum weight guidelines, or too heavy, forcing you to leave something at home that could make your travels a little more enjoyable.

If using a bathroom scale is the only option at your disposal, here's the best way to use it to weigh your bags:

• Step on the scale and weigh yourself, take note of the number.
• Step on the scale again, holding your bag as close to your chest as you can manage. Doing so will help to keep the bag balanced, making for a more accurate reading. Take note of the weight that your bathroom scale provides to you.
• Subtract your weight from the total weight of you holding your luggage. While it won't be as accurate as using a luggage scale, the measurement will be slightly more reliable than placing the luggage on the scale by itself.

Top Product Overview

Top digital luggage scales, american weigh h-110 digital hanging scale.

This rugged digital scale  by  American  is the most sturdy you will find. It’s  protected by a die-cast metal case  that is backed up by a  10-year warranty from the manufacturer.

It’s very small and portable but can accommodate a maximum weight of 110 pounds or 50 kilograms . That’s more than enough weight you’ll be allowed to board into the plan without any special arrangements and payments.

The digital display reads out measurements in pounds, ounces, kilograms, and grams . This scale also has a stabilizer to ensure that the reading is accurate. You can also pull out a built-in 3-foot tape measure from the side.

It’s powered by two CR2032 batteries that are included in the package. However, this scale seems to drain batteries pretty quickly, even while the device is turned off. This is quite inconvenient as you may have to remove the batteries when not in use, or just prepare to replace the batteries every now and then.

Important Features Of a Luggage Scale

Weight capacity and accuracy.

It’s rare to find a luggage scale that won’t carry a maximum weight below the typical baggage limits. However, it’s better to take note of this because not all digital scales are meant for travel. There are some scales meant for fishing that can double as a luggage scale, which will only measure up to 75 pounds.

Depending on what kind of packer you are, make sure the weight capacity of your scale will accommodate the weight you need to look out for.

Of course, making sure that the scale is accurate is of utmost importance. There’s no point in constantly watching out for your luggage weight if it turns out to be inaccurate.

There are backlit and non-backlit displays. It’s simply more convenient to have a backlit display so you can read the measurements wherever you end up having to measure your luggage. The size of the display also matters when it comes to ease of reading the measurements.

Battery Indicators

The point of having a lightweight and portable luggage scale is to make sure you can use it whenever you need it. Battery indicators make sure that your scales are functional. It will also be useful for you to carry extra batteries, or at least know where to find batteries in case your scale runs out of juice.

Other Features

Digital luggage scales are varied. Some are simple and straightforward while other packs in some extra features. Some functions that will be useful are temperature readings, luggage straps, and warranties so you can make the most out of your scale. The fewer individual things for you to carry around, the better!

Which is the Best Digital Luggage Scale?

As with everything about choices, it depends on how you will use the scale:

The  American Weigh H-110 Digital Hanging Scale  is a great choice if you’re weighing more than just your luggage. Having a hook makes it more versatile than a luggage strap.

The tape measure also makes this scale more functional when it comes to measurements. This way you can measure odd items like furniture producing souvenirs without needing a handle to loop a strap around through. It’s also very sturdy and well-built, so you can take this to your outdoor adventures and measure fish, game, or other outdoorsy items.

• VERSATILE - The H-series portable hanging scale is a vertical weighing solution that you can easily take with you anywhere. Great for many weighing applications such as archery, fishing, tension weighing, travel, camping, and much more!
• ENERGY CONSERVATION – Our H-110 hanging and travel scale is powered by energy saving CR2032 batteries. With a focus on energy conservation, these CR2032 batteries are engineered to optimize power usage and extend the lifespan of your scale.

If all you really need is a straight-up luggage scale, the  Etekcity Portable Luggage Scale  is your best bet. Cheap, portable, and extremely accurate, this scale delivers on the one thing you need your scale to do – measure your luggage weight accurately.

• Ideal Gift For Travelers: This travel accessory is perfect for adventurers and frequent shippers; Allows you to weigh luggage before the airport to avoid overweight charges with a compact design that fits in your pocket
• High-Accuracy Sensor: Weighs up to 110 lb / 50 kg with 0.1 lb / 50 g precision and measures ambient temperature, providing useful information while traveling

If you just want something easy to grab (after all hanging on to your luggage while weighing it is a right pain in the neck to hold) then this one with a gripper handle from EatSmart Precision is a great option.

Camry Digital Luggage Scale Review

An affordable travel necessity that doesn’t skimp on quality

Camry Digital Luggage Scale

 TripSavvy / Karen Tietjen

Unbeatable price

Accuracy of +/- 0.1 pounds

Ease of use

Weighs in pounds and kilograms

Comes with protective carrying case and battery

Takes 2 minutes to automatically turn off 

Strap is shorter than most competitors

If you’re looking for an accurate luggage scale at a bargain price, the Camry Digital Luggage Scale can’t be beat. It’s made with durable, lightweight materials, plus it promises accuracy. As an added feature, it reads air temperature too.

• Performance
• Construction
• Competition
• Final Verdict

We purchased the Camry Digital Luggage Scale so our writer could put it to the test. Keep reading for our full product review.

If you want to avoid overweight baggage fees , a luggage scale is a travel necessity. When it comes to shopping for one, you’ve got plenty to choose from , including the Camry Digital Luggage Scale. Camry is a company that produces scales of all kinds and proudly declares that its products are best-sellers in the US, Europe, Japan, and South Korea. Their confidence is further reflected in their 30-day money-back guarantee, as well as their 24-month warranty. We tested the Camry Digital Luggage Scale for usability and functionality, then analyzed the quality of its materials. Read on for our honest review to determine whether it’s worth the money—even at its bargain price.

Performance: Accurate and easy to use

With just two buttons—one for power and one for units—we found this scale to be super intuitive. The latter switches the weight metric from pounds to kilograms, then the temperature metric from Fahrenheit to Celsius. To turn it off, simply hold the power button for two seconds. It will turn off automatically, but only after two minutes, which, over time, can drain the battery. 

To weigh our luggage, we simply wrapped the nylon strap around the handle, turned on the scale, lifted, and held until the weight reading locked. Camry claims that this scale is accurate to +/- 0.1 pounds, and after conducting several additional tests with 5- and 10-pound dumbbells, we’d say this is a pretty fair statement. There was a slight variation at times—between 0.1 to 0.2 pounds—but some of this can be attributed to user error.

With just two buttons—one for power and one for units—we found this scale to be super intuitive.

Tip: To eliminate errors as much as possible, keep the luggage steady and hold the scale evenly as you lift so the weight gets distributed evenly.

Features: Handy and user-friendly 

Thanks to the weight metric conversion, international travelers can avoid overweight luggage fees —both on the way to your destination and the way back home—by eliminating confusion. Plus, a large digital LCD screen is clear to read, and the weight flashes three times then locks once the load is steady, so there’s no second-guessing.

The scale’s capacity is 110 pounds (50 kilograms). A “LO” signal indicates when the battery is low. Another positive note is that the battery is easy to change; a small, half-moon-shaped chamber pops in and out of the back of the device into which you can drop a CR2032 lithium battery (the first one is included).

While the temperature function isn’t exactly necessary, it can certainly come in handy. This is especially true if you’re trying to plan what to wear for the day and you don’t have access to Wi-Fi . 

Another bonus is that the scale comes with a protective drawstring carrying case. Not only will you be less likely to lose the gadget, but it can help prevent scratches and other damage, especially when tossing it into your luggage or carry-on. 

Construction: Lightweight and durable

A silver metallic face and black accents give the Camry scale a modern appearance and durability without adding weight. At just 3.2 ounces and 5.12 inches across, this gadget is perfectly portable. 

The back of the scale is textured for easy gripping and the tough nylon strap is thoroughly secured to the device with a metal screw and includes a solid buckle on the end. This scale can certainly withstand heavy loads, but there’s one thing worth mentioning: though Camry says it can fit around any luggage handle, it’s shorter than some of its competitors.

Camry claims that this scale is accurate to +/- 0.1 pounds, and after conducting several tests with 5- and 10-pound dumbells, we’d say this is a pretty fair statement.

Price: You’ll certainly get your money’s worth

Given the quality and functionality of the Camry Digital Luggage Scale, you’ll get more than your money’s worth. At just $9.99 MSRP, it seems to have all the features and quality of its higher-priced competitors.

Competition: Most are more expensive

One of Camry’s main competitors is the Tarriss Jetsetter Digital Luggage Scale . The sleek scale is almost double the price and comes with no additional features, but, its face is made of durable stainless steel. Other differences include a longer nylon strap, a 30-second auto turn off time, and single button operation. Both are lightweight, portable, and effective, so we’d give our nod to the Camry simply because it saves you cash.

Need some help finding what you're looking for? Read our list of the best luggage scales .

If price and functionality are your priorities when it comes to a luggage scale, the Camry fits the bill. It doesn’t have as sleek a silhouette as some of its competitors, but with a metal face and black accents, it’s certainly attractive enough. Even if you only use this gadget once, it’s certainly worth the price to avoid overweight baggage fees.

Withings Body+

Our pros have been impressed with Withings products in previous tests, and that's just one of the many reasons why this smart scale tops our list. It connects with your phone via Wi-Fi to track weight, total body fat, water percentage, bone and muscle mass and more. While not all features (i.e. weather) seemed critical to our test panel, the scale includes loads of insights, making it a good pick for someone looking to keep tabs on their health metrics. In Lab tests, Withings' scale was our top performer, which is also extremely accurate and has a responsive display that’s easy to read.

Our pros agree that this model is the perfect fit for both larger and petite figures, and we appreciate that it can monitor up to eight unique profiles. Just keep in mind that the initial Wi-Fi setup will likely be a bit more time-consuming than that of other non-smart scales, but it’s well worth it in the end. Our pros are also fans of the intuitive and user-friendly Withings Health Mate app, where all your stats and measurements will be synced.

Dimensions: 12.8" x 12.8" x 0.9" | Weight capacity: 396 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: 8 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

Eufy Smart Scale C1

It's hard to find a smart scale that's cheaper than this pick from Eufy. It makes it easy to sync health data to a third-party app, whether your health tracking platform of choice is Apple, Fitbit or Google. “ This scale is a nice option for large, active families who want to track wellness metrics since it can store up to 16 users at once, even if they all use different wearables,” said former GH Institute Chief Technologist Rachel Rothman, who road-tested the Eufy for several months in her home. The scale uses built-in sensors to accurately measure a range of metrics — weight, body mass, visceral fat and more.

This Eufy scale performed well in our Lab accuracy tests, and online reviews are also positive: It has over 12,000 reviews on Amazon with an average of 4.6 stars, with the Eufy’s exceptional price contributing to the appeal. Some testers pointed out that the platform size may feel a bit small for some. For a tiny bit extra out of pocket and access to features like a 3D virtual model of your body's progress, you can also consider Eufy's latest scale, the Eufy Smart Scale P2 .

Dimensions: 11.02" x 11.02" x 0.91" | Weight capacity: 397 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: 16 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

With high-tempered clear glass and a chrome finish base, this scale looks great in any bathroom. In Lab tests, our pros found the scale’s display responsive and easy to read, though they wish it featured a backlight for even more clarity. It wasn’t the most accurate of the bunch, but its sleek good looks made it a favorite among our tech analysts even though it only reads weight.

Dimensions: 11.75" x 12.75" x 1.25" | Weight capacity: 400 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: 1 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: No

WW by Conair Digital Glass Weight Scale

In our most recent Lab tests, Conair scales stood out for their responsive displays and easy-to-use, classic design. Though we do wish the screen featured a backlight for enhanced visibility, the numbers are still quite easy to see from a distance.

Dimensions: 14.6" x 14.1" x 2.7" | Weight capacity: 400 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: 1 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: No

EatSmart Precision+ Ultra-Wide Bathroom Scale

This simple-to-use scale provides precise weight measurements on a large, easily readable display and was a top performer in Lab tests. “If you’re looking for a no-frills scale that will do a solid job measuring body weight, this one is worth a look, especially given the superb price,” said Rothamn. When reviewing this model in the Media and Tech Lab, our pros loved its oversize platform and found the 3.6" x 2" LCD display easy to see from a distance. We liked that it responds almost instantaneously when being used — no need to tap and then step on. It also has the best weight range of our picks, with a 440-pound capacity. And with a sturdy build, Rothman predicted that this scale will last you ages.

Dimensions: 16.7" x 13" x 1.8" | Weight capacity: 440 lbs| Max number of stored profiles: 1 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: No

Renpho Elis 1 Smart Body Scale

With an average 4.7-star rating on Amazon and more than 9,000 reviews, this smart scale offers a lot of quality for the price. But just because it’s super affordable doesn’t mean that it skips on extra features like connectivity to the Renpho Health app where you can track your weight (and 12 other stats).

At 11 inches long, the scale has a compact footprint which makes it a great fit for cramped bathrooms and other small spaces. T he red number display was easy to read from a distance . Upon stepping on the scale, we noticed that it woke up immediately. Our experts warn that weight measurements were not quite as accurate as more premium picks, though fluctuations were minimal.

Dimensions: 11" x 11" x 1" | Weight capacity: 396 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: Unlimited | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

Etekcity HR Smart Fitness Scale

Before you hop on this smart scale, you'll first have to connect it to Wi-Fi and charge it via USB-C. Then you'll see its bright, colorful display, and you can simply get started by stepping on the glass for a weight reading along with 13 other measurements that you can later find in the VeSync app.

What's even better about this scale is that it'll recognize your profile just by stepping on it. It's priced higher than some others, but you'll also get features like a pregnancy mode you can access through the app and a baby mode for tracking kids' growth. Not only does this scale have more than 168,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, but it was a top performer in Lab tests, providing accurate weight measurements when compared to our calibrated Lab scale. Though our pros did notice that it takes a few seconds for it to turn on and isn’t quite as responsive as other models we tested, the easy-to-read color display makes up for it. We also love how easy it is to switch among profiles in the app.

Dimensions: 11.8" x 11.8" x 1.1" | Weight capacity: 400 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: Unlimited | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale

Once you step on it, it'll provide tons of body analysis features, including measurements for weight, weight trend, body fat percentage, BMI, skeletal muscle mass and more.

According to our Lab tests, this scale is highly accurate . One product analyst told us that she loved how easy it is to read the color display and she "really enjoys seeing extra info like the time, date and weather forecast without having to open up the app." Other testers do note, however, that they wish the scale turned on a bit faster.

Dimensions: 12.2" x 12.6" x 1.1" | Weight capacity: 400 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: 16 | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

And its compact footprint makes a good fit for most small bathrooms.

We love that for less than half the price of other premium scales, this one comes with a lot of great value and you can store an unlimited number of profiles, making it a great choice for the family. According to online reviewers, however, it may be less accurate.

Dimensions: 10.2" x 10.2" x 0.96" | Weight capacity: 396 lbs | Max number of stored profiles: Unlimited | Bluetooth or app connectivity: Yes

How we test bathroom scales

The engineers and product analysts have been testing digital bathroom scales for decades at the Good Housekeeping Institute ’s Media and Tech Lab. In our most recent tests, our pros evaluated over a dozen bathroom scales. To narrow down the best ones for your home, we test each scale for accuracy and precision by comparing recorded weights of test samples with those from our calibrated Lab scale.

Since most people step on the scale regularly, our experts also consider ease-of-use features, such as platform size, display readability, how quickly the scale turned on and off , and, when applicable, how easy it is to input personal information, such as age and gender. If available, we assess smart features such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity and how easy it is to switch among member profiles.

What to look for when shopping for the best bathroom scale

✔️ Type: Analog scales use mechanical springs to measure weight, while digital scales rely on built-in sensors. A subset of the digital category is smart scales , whose Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity makes it possible to upload information to your smartphone or computer and keep track of health changes over time. There's no right type of scale, though our pros do prefer digital scales or smart scales for their ease of use and accuracy.

✔️ W eight capacity: Most bathroom scales have a weight capacity of up to 400 pounds, give or take. If you prefer to have a higher capacity, double-check the maximum weight before purchasing.

✔️ Ease of use: A bathroom scale should not only be easy to set up, but also feature a platform with ample room to stand. It should be responsive and display your weight or other measurements quickly and clearly. Consider the size of the display screen as well and whether the numbers appear large and bright so you'll have no issues reading your results.

✔️ Metrics tracking: The bathroom scale you ultimately choose will depend on your fitness and weight-tracking goals and how you intend to use the scale. Besides simply providing weight, some of our top smart scales also measure body fat percentage, metabolic rate and bone and muscle mass, all of which can be helpful for tracking progress over time when used properly. (FYI: Some scales also measure body mass index, but our health experts believe that BMI is a misleading indicator of health . To learn more about why, you can read up on the problematic history of BMI .)

✔️ Connectivity: Some smart bathroom scales can sync to an app on your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to track your health metrics. If you’re training for a race or looking to improve athletic performance, the various tracking features of a smart digital scale might be worthwhile. But the connectivity often costs more, and it makes the overall experience more complex, so if your only goal is to check your weight once a week, consider spending less on a basic bathroom scale that does its job accurately and reliably.

What is the most accurate type of bathroom scale?

All things being equal, digital scales tend to be more accurate than analog ones . They can also measure more than just weight, such as bone and muscle mass and hydration.

With any scale, accuracy depends on proper usage. Always place the scale on a hard, flat surface (bathroom floors are ideal). It’s a good idea to calibrate your scale regularly, especially if you move it around a lot; the process usually involves stepping on and off the scale and pressing a special calibration button.

Finally, for accurate weight monitoring over time, it’s best to weigh yourself at the same time of the day, say, first thing in the morning. “Consistency with how and when you weigh yourself will help give you a more accurate read,” said Amy Fischer , a registered dietitian based in New York City. “You may choose to weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you’ve had anything to eat or drink. Sodium, hormonal fluctuations, constipation and hydration levels can also affect your weight, so make sure to take these things into account."

And when it comes to body composition measurements, don't rely too heavily on a scale at all: These metrics are often based in part on calculations, as opposed to body composition scans. "If you want to know your actual body fat, find a certified personal trainer or another professional who knows how to take the measurement using the proper equipment," said Walt Thompson, former president at the American College of Sports Medicine .
