I was going to buy this to weigh our black lab, when I got to thinking...can I weigh my luggage on it also? No surprises at the airport!

I don't see why not. I weigh my cats in a carrier, which is a box, and get consistent results.

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

I weigh my pets and myself on this. As a pilot, I also weigh bags and cargo for my plane. Great scale.

Yes you can use it for anything and it is great to keep track of your pet's weight. I keep track of our Doberman's weight every week.

I dont know the exact dimensions but it should be fine with checked-in baggage as per size. As to the weight though, you might have to double check with the airlines/countries as they post different weight limits/excess fees. The estimated shipping size & weight of this item can be found on the website details, might have to scroll down to technical/shipping size/weight. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. I use it to weigh my suit cases & other family members for traveling. Worked great.

The directions said not to but to give you an accurate assessment, I just weighed myself in the bathroom where it is usually kept and it gave me accurate readings. Then I placed it on my somewhat flat carpet and the first time it said I weighed 14 lbs. It wouldn't even give me the other readings. I placed it back in the bathroom, stepped on it and then placed it back on the carpet and it wouldn't even come on the second time. So I guess my answer would confirm that it would only give accurate readings on flat surfaces where the weigh can't be distributed under the scale to give a false reading. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. However, I love it and love the features of it. It was well worth the money spent. I also purchased their food scale and love it. Now I want to cook just to weight my food. I am not disappointed by either one and enjoy the nice dcor it adds to my bathroom and kitchen.

I would not be able to do that... i bought this for my own personal use (in home I am by no means a professional)... it is quite accurate!!! It could measure in both lbs. and kg depending on your preference..

I never tried it with luggage, but I would expect it to provide similar results to body weight. If you can set the luggage squarely on the surface of the scale, it should be reasonably accurate. However, you will need to guess when the weight has been measured, as you will not be able to see the display until you remove the luggage. It usually takes about 2 seconds to finalize the weight reading.

yes, but it's oversized-so if it's filled to capacity, you may have to pay more to check this in. Also, the wheels are loud-so if you're looking not to attract attention at the (public) airport, this is not the luggage for you.

It weighs accurately, but for luggage you're probably better off with a luggage scale (I have both). The luggage scale takes up less room in your luggage than this scale. Also, I'm not sure how you would weigh the luggage without covering up the weight on this scale. Of course you could do what people do with a home scale--weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the luggage. The difference is the luggage weight.

That is in one sense a hilarious question. However, first of all, one would wonder what kind of puppy? Great Dane? Collie? Schnauzer? Nevertheless, I would say yes, if your puppy is placed in a suitably-sized open box, and both puppy and box are then placed on scale, it would fit. Then weigh the box separately. :-) This scale has a lock feature that holds the reading for several seconds after the item is removed - which helps greatly for items that obscure the sight-line to the readout. The platform of this scale also opens up to support a somewhat larger box. It's a great scale.

I think that's about right - I didn't weigh it when I got it, but it is a heavy canvas material. If you want, I can go outside and put it on the scale, but there's mosquitoes out there right now!

it can be difficult, however I have used mine a few times to weight check baggage, including one of the largest luggage rollers around.

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.

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

Yes, but some smaller aircraft will require you to gate check this bag. I went to Russia and back with the bag weighing nearly 50 pounds and didn't have any issues until a commuter hop where I had to gate check. It was fine.

I don't think the actual weight matters unless you are planning on carrying the crate with the dog in it. I would worry more about the dog's height and length.

I only have checked it in at the airport. But I know I could have gate checked my bugaboo in this transport bag. I have also seen people just gate check their bugaboo cameleon without the transport bag.

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
