About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

The premium luggage scale from Travely is extremely precise and measures to within 10 grams. Users can monitor their luggage weight precisely as the product displays two decimal places. The measuring range is up to 50 kilograms. To maximize battery life, the scale switches off automatically after 60 seconds. It also offers the option of choosing between three international units (kilograms, pounds and ounces) . The weight-hold function makes it easy to read the weight without having to hold it up. The 1 meter long integrated measuring tape is particularly useful for travelers. The display of the luggage scale is not only bright and easy to read, but also has a progress bar that flashes from 20 kilograms. The luggage scale is supplied with batteries so that it can be used straight away.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioVery good90 points
Rating cut4.5 out of 5.0 on Amazon75 points
Total83 points
Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, customers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. It is often criticized that the display is only clearly visible in the shade. However, customers appreciate the high accuracy and ease of use of the portable scale. The manufacturer has also responded to the criticism and released an improved version with a revised display in July 2023.

Prices of up to €35 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €7 . The Travely premium luggage scale is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €13.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
