Do you know if this scale can be used to weight large suitcases weighing anywhere from 50 to 65 lbs accurately? Has anyone used it for this purpose?

I have not used it for this purpose. I did use it to weigh a person and thought it might be a little off. Not sure on luggage sorry.

No, I haven't. Just bought it to weight my GSD and it works very well. He weighs just under 100lbs. If you are careful, I don't see why not to weigh luggage now and then.. As per the manual, maximum weight is 225lbs and minimum is 1.2lbs. Good luck

I would not recommend it for that purpose.Purchase a "dog" scale. I bought one on Amazon...that will work/

I purchased this scale to weigh by two lap dogs. Great for that. Not sure about luggage.

We haven't used it for that purpose (we try to travel lighter), but I don't see why not. It's flat and registers weight within that range.

I just weighed it a few minutes ago on my hand-held luggage scale and it shows exactly 9 lbs. Airport ticket counter scales have proven this hand-held scale to be accurate.

If you routinely want to weigh heavier objects, you would likely want another scale. This scale reminds me of the scales we used in high school or university chemistry lab. It would be awkward to weigh a 66lb object unless it were very dense because the readout is on the top and the weighing surface is too small.

I also use this scale for weighing small packages and find it super easy and very accurate. It is so easy to weigh your package at home, plug the info in to the USPS website and print shipping labels right from home! Selling stuff on Ebay is so easy now, takes the guesswork out of the postage fees and makes shipping things fast and easy!As others have said, though, if you have very large or odd shaped packages, I don't know if this scale would be recommended. And the weight capacity is only up to 11 pounds.

This scale is pretty consistent at measuring small weights. I took a 10g weight and weighed it 5 times (as per your question) and got the same result, 10g each time. This scale is quite sensitive though, a breath or even a draft of air can make it fluctuate and give an incorrect reading, it also needs to be on a flat, solid surface for optimum performance.

You sure can, though I wouldn't recommend weighing anything heavier than 4 quarters (~22g) as the limit of the scale is 20g (0.70z). It's quite accurate as a compensation, however, you just have to calibrate it and check it with the included masses. Hope that helps!

Almost similar to my other scale. I can say the accuracy almost hit 100%..i have not compare with airport yet.. So far it gave same measure against floor weight scale.It is a reliable device..

my best friend came to visit me from Rome and we wanted to make sure his luggage was at 50lbs and yes it worked great. I even weigh myself on it. weights up to 225 lbs. I like weighting my dogs monthly. I have one that is 133 lbs and watching his weight. I want him to maintain 125 lbs

It has four little rubber feet so as long as they all touch it should work fine. I wanted a scale that would work on carpet and this one has no moving parts for about one inch off the floor so it does just fine on carpet. If the floor is especially rough as in, say, rustic tile, then I'd use a pad or flat board under it to make sure all the feet touch. The scale base is pretty ridgid but somewhere up around 250/300 pounds you might be able to get it to flex a little. Good choice for odd circumstances tho----

I found that the scale was not entirely accurate. I do think that it has to do with the fact that my foot is bigger than the platform of the scale. However, you can work with it, and if you are using it for travel, it will at least give you an idea of where you stand. If you want an accurate scale, get something that is bigger.

Yes, I use a postal scale for up to 5 lbs. I use this for large weights. I works great!

I think it will hold a suitcase weighing 40-60 pounds, as long as it is balanced on the luggage rack.

I'm sorry - I do not use it for weighing things that accurately. I believe it does, though, from what other people said.

Mine was right on..My suitcase weighed 44lbs and scale registered 45..close enough.

The answers below are correct. It displays lbs in decimals. What wasn't shared was how helpful this product is. It has always matched the weigh in at the counter within 3 decimals. It can be trusted. My wife and I are off to Cuba. We are only allowed a total of 44 lbs that includes the carry on. So far we have each suitcase weighing in at 26 and 28 lbs respectively. I'll use up the remaining lbs with a few more items in the suitcase and dedicating the camera, cam cord, chargers, convertor and adaptors, ad travel paperwork (all heavier items relatively) to the carry on. For this trip, I will depend on and trust the Camry Electronic Luggage Scale as I have for my last 3 trips to South Africa, Egypt, and Patagonia. It kept me safely underweight each time. I could pack within 1 to 2 lbs on the weight limit and be comfortable I wouldn't exceed the limit. I would not give it up for anything. It is a permanent part of our travel equipment.

The actual screen would be probably weigh 10 pounds but the frame would probably bring it up to 30 to 40 pounds. Because of the size of the frame, it is unlikely to find a suitcase big enough.

When I used mine, it was accurate in any object above 3 ounces, as I didn't really need to weigh anything that was less than 3 ounces. I didn't have any issues with accuracy, my only issue was with it dying after a period of time with very light use.
