Whether you are a frequent traveler, or you only travel out on major holidays, having a portable luggage scale is a necessity. Many people don't understand all that can be done with a digital luggage scale so they don't consider buying one. Here are 5 reasons why you need a digital luggage scale that will change your mind about their importance.

Reason #5 - It helps you control the packing

Portable luggage scales can help with non-traditional travel like camping and sailing. How you stow your weight is going to affect your travel experience. Even with RVs, knowing what things weigh is going to determine whether you bring them, and where they will be put if you do. This isn't a one-time action - as you bring groceries or supplies on it can be easier to weigh them in a bag then one by one to make sure you keep everything in balance.

Reason #4 - The weight of your luggage changes as you travel

Whether you are packing on more souvenirs, or just soiled laundry, the weight of your luggage is going to increase as you go. Having a portable luggage scale can help you check yourself when you pack to leave to make sure that the right amount goes in your carry-on.

Reason #3 - Believe it or not, they can control your spending

Before you load up on the fabulous woven blankets or small statues you have found on your trip - take out your digital luggage scale and give it a weigh. That weight can stop a purchase right in its tracks. That statue may be affordable on the street, but if it costs you more money to carry home with all your luggage it may not be worth it.

Reason #2 - Learn better habits

Walking is everything these days, and walking from stores or to work or school gets more common as people are working in fitness more and more. The problem comes when what you are carrying with you is unevenly balanced. Weigh your bags quickly to make sure the weight is even and you can walk better. This applies to walking while on vacation too.

Reason #1 - Digital is more reliable and saves you money and time

Dunheger makes a portable luggage scale with a digital readout in lbs. and kgs. that can lock readings, adjust for tare and be operated with one figure. The digital technology used in the Dunheger digital luggage scale provides you with an accuracy you can't get with dial technology.
