Good morning JV
Haven't seen you comment on every other Aldi deal yet.
Come on go easy, the OP's only been a OzB member for a little over 3 years.
Still on P's
how are these powered?
2 drunken squirrels?
larger or smaller squirrels?
thats what she said!
AAA size squirrels.
Depends on the size of the nuts
2 drunken squirrels
that's nuts!
how are these powered?
Almost certainly one or two CR2032 batteries. I can't find this exact model online, but there are plenty of similar-looking ones, like this:
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/accessories/t2/t…I won't be buying this, I have found that infrequently-used devices with watch batteries are usually flat when you want to use them. There are plenty of scales available that take AAA batteries, and I always have some charged AAA NiMh batteries ready.
That would be due to the quality of the device or the battery though. I have a scale using one CR2032 still running fine. Remember that those 2032 used to (still?) power motherboard clock chips for years.
Includes airline adaptor
What would this be?
Good spot!
Yeah I was wondering about the "Swivel and fold earpads" and what they had to do with weighing luggage.
In case you want to listen to your scales during the flight?
I thought maybe the scales made suck a racket (especially if you are overweight) that you need ear protection.
I'd buy one but got a houseful of Aldi kuggage scales already.
Those kuggage scales only weigh in KG's though right? These luggages scales do pounds, grams and ounces too :)
no they do imperial too
I bought my kaggage scale from ELDI.

Weighs up to 50kg
A bit too heavy to take with you travelling…
Aldi luggage scales used to be good .. this model looks fancy but the top metal cover comes off easily. It looks like it has been stuck on with a little hot glue.
This guy weighs.
These are great. Very accurate.
I should clarify, the similar model they used to sell a year or two ago is very accurate and no issues. Noticed the above about new ones maybe not being as well built.
I bought similar ones on ebay a few years ago for about half that price. Still going strong and never a moment's trouble with them.
Mine takes one CR2032 battery.
For the poster who complained about flat batteries - a little secret very few people know about. You take the battery out in between trips. In any case I keep a stock of batteries, bought for pennies on ebay, as I have other things that need these batteries. Not paying $5 at Woolies for one battery. I use my scales for all sorts of weighing at home, not just travel, so I leave the battery in.
Too much of hassle.
Just don't let kids near the batteries if you are taking them out, dangerous if swallowed.
No kids in my house.
In any case, I am always careful with batteries, specially those very small watch batteries. I seem to have so many things that need them. Wish they would standardise on just one or two sizes, one for watches, and one for torches, clocks, scales and other things. Every new thing I buy needs a different battery to the ones I have in stock!
Looks pretty much exactly the same as the one I've bought from Ebay and been using for years. Not really a bargain as it's a normal price (other than you don't need to wait for it to arrive from China).
I'm not sure how good this luggage scale from Aldi, but I bought this from The Good Guys 4 years ago and it's really very good. It's so accurate that even weighing scale at Airport hardly differs!!
Yes I now use this Salter and it's accurate. I also have one from eBay, one from Aliexpress and 2 of these Aldi ones. Problem with these 4 are that the measured weight can sometimes differ slightly between readings. If your luggage is heavy, I find that they have a hard time locking on the weight - the luggage has to remain very still. With the Salter it pretty much returns a reading within seconds even if your luggage is bobbing around being suspended in mid air.
Can it even support 40KGs before it breaks?
Which airline allows more than 30KG in one bag? There is some work safely lay I think that only allows maximum of 33 or 35KG.
you don't necessarily have to use it for luggage, there are other circumstances where you need to weight something maybe upto 45 kgs.
I find these hanging types really inaccurate (or I just cheaped out too much lol). Never had issues doing it the ol fashioned way using normal scales with yourself then holding the bag.
Call it free exercise lol.You probably used the spring ones. The electronic ones based on strain gauge sensors are accurate.
Yeah probably. It is quite old.
Hmm, seems like a good buy, but I'll have to weigh up between the pros and cons.
Anyone having problems with their scale? I removed the plastic and it still didn't turn on
There may be a slip of plastic between the battery and the contacts.
There was plastic, but turns out I just got a faulty one. They exchanged it no questions asked :)
Yeah, Aldi is good that way.
For anyone interested I checked the accuracy of these at work today using a calibrated balance. I used 2 different buckets with work related stuff in them, weighed them on the calibrated balance and then picked up the buckets with the Aldi scales.
Bucket 1 on calibrated balance: 17.100kg
Aldi measured mass: 17.13kg
Difference = approx 30 grams (0.03kg)Bucket 2 on calibrated balance: 31.234kg
Aldi measured mass: 31.17kg
Difference = approx 64 grams (0.064kg)Pretty accurate.
