  • How accurate?

      • Accurate to 3kg

        So a carry-on may show 7kg, but actually be 10kg, so you'd need to check it in an pay the penalty?

        • I meant I weighed a 3kg mill jug and the scale said 3kg.

        • +4

          @sween64: Don't want to get all nerdy but just to set the record straight, 3 litre milk weighs ~3.1 kg(milk's density being 1.033 kg/litre). So based on this sample, the accuracy is 96.67%. That's excluding the weight of the milk container itself.

          Liar :p

        Where did you get the 3kg figure from? I have one and it doesn't seem that inaccurate - it even 'zeros' itself on startup each time.

    • Accurate enough. The weight I get is usually what the airport scales get from memory.

  • don't forget to put "@kogan" at the end of the title, good deal tho!

    • It's a Kogan product but sure.

      Edit: scrimshaw did it for me and it reminded me to check DSE, thanks

      Yes & no. I've used a few types and these Kogan ones are actually pretty good. Good strong build quality, uses AAA Batteries, constantly accurate (relatively speaking) and has a mini Tape Measure built-in however they have been cheaper before (got my last few for $9ea delivered IIRC).

  • seems better than the other version that uses button type battery. at least AAA easier to find and cheaper i think and can be rechargeable

  • Thought i received a $30 off kogan voucher after purchasing from ticketek.

    Instead, I got "Hi there, Welcome Back to Kogan.com". :(:(

  • I kinda want one to weigh laundry loads. So mostly small sizes like 2.5kg, 7kg, etc… Could this do it accurately? I've tried with cheapo ones, but it's usually off by ~1kg.

    • +5

      Nothing would stop you from weighting your weight + laundry loads, put down the laundry loads and then weight your weight again. The difference in weight will be the weight of your laundry loads.

      • Like on a scale? I've never thought of doing that before, but it sounds like it would work. I still need to buy a scale though.

        • A hook scale is going to be more accurate and consistent than stand-on ones.

      • +1

        too much of maths when the great 12 $ bargain is there :-)
        OP wins!

    • Why do you want to weigh your laundry, what does it achieve?

      • Well there is load limits for certain cycles. And I'm worried about overloading the washing machine and damaging it, especially since washing machines aren't cheap. I don't know if it's a legitimate concern or not.

        • +1

          Do you own a bathroom scale?
          Just weigh yourself then weigh yourself holding a basket of your clothes

        • I couldn't find one, but it sounds like a good idea!

  • Used it for travel. Pretty convenient and it gets the job done +- 0.5kg but i remember mine was $6 or $9

  • +1

    …is this a bargain?

    Kinda just seems like what it should cost.

  • Thanks OP. Didn’t want it but ordered one anyway!

  • -1

    It might help the (profanity) who are instructed to re pack their suitcase in front of you at the check-in BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO STUPID NOT TO WEIGH THEM BEFOREHAND..

  • This is worth getting and great to have in view of airlines being so tight on weight.

  • I got the $9 one from kmart, but at least this one takes AAA batteries.

  • +2

    I'm going to weigh my laundry before and after it's washed and dried, so I know how much dirt was on there

    • Oh my god hahaha!

  • +1

    This was a better deal and its rechargeable via micro usb. Plus, with an in-built power bank and powerful flashlight.

    • I know right, I've been waiting for this deal to resurface.

  • Thank you, ordered one!

  • Cheers, used my 90mm Cordless Framing Nailer-CB500 $10 credit

  • According to the product manual… "You can measure your carry-on luggage in inches, centimetres or millimetres."

    interesting

  • Saw simiar before at aldi selling it at ~$7 ?

    • Yep, I bought the Aldi one. I'd say exact same product for almost half the price. So I can't agree that this is a good deal…unless you can never get to the shops, then maybe the shipping is worth it.

  • AweSome !!
    just in time before I travel definately need this.

  • Thanks, got it for $2 dollars as there were $10 ref feral credit left.

    For what it's worth, K-mart have a basic digital luggage scale for $9 everyday. It's a good travel size and seems accurate in my experience.

  • kmart sells one for $9 of similar size/features.

  • Can I ask a silly question please? How do you use the device to weigh a luggage which is more than 20kg? Where do you strap it on and maintain the balance without your own intervention getting in the way? I do own one but never worked out how to use it. Appreciate any advice.

    • It's has a strap and a hook. You put the strap through the handle of your luggage and the hook connects back to itself.

  • Why is the strap on one side and not in the middle as all luggage scale? Not quite ergonomic!

  • How exactly does it work? i can see you hook it around the luggage, but how does that measure? Do you lift it up?

    • +1

      Yes. The luggage applies a force in a downwards direction thanks to gravity.

      • Haha. But how much would you tug before you lift the luggage

        • +1

          you have to lift the luggage off the floor to get an accurate reading.. i dunno how some ppl get through life

        • Well, thats what i assumed for it to work, but looking at the pictures and the weight limit of 50kg, i questioned it ability to hold such weight before breaking because i can't tell whether its plastic or metal. I'm not stupid but its one of the things that I've never seen before, i'm sure it'd be the same for you.

        • @steven231:

          My one just arrived today
          Reasonable size solid plastic build
          as stated has a strap to strap the handle of your luggage then lift luggage to measure the weight.

          The reason for the weight on one side is to get a better grip when weighing.

        • Thanks, actually helpful.
