I am seeing lots of ads for portable Luggage Scales. Do you know how accurate these scales are?

My bag is usually around 32-37 pounds depending on which luggage I use; my husband's luggage is right around the 50 pound limit because he packs his tripod in a larger-size suitcase.

One luggage scale I've seen reviewed is the Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale. It weighs 10 oz. and can weigh up to 100 pound bags.

Flying out of Orlando, I see many tourists each week trying to manuever clothes and souveniers between multiple suitcases before they check in.

Maybe it would be nice for hotels to offer the use of these scales so people can check their luggage weights at checkout.
