Have you ever spent time waiting at a luggage carousal only to discover your luggage looks like every other piece? While you may think your luggage looks unique, it can quickly blend in with all of the others in this situation. A luggage locator is an innovative and useful product that allows you to locate your luggage instantly. Although it's been designed to find luggage, it can also be used around your home to find anything from car keys to your remote. So what is a luggage locator exactly? How much does it cost?

Typically, luggage locator devices are battery operated and made up of two units. They feature a small transmitter that's lightweight and the size of a key chain. All you need to do to use the luggage locator is attach the receiver to your luggage handle and keep the transmitter on your key chain. By pushing a button on the device, the receiver will begin flashing a bright light and making a loud chirping noise. This makes finding your luggage instant, easy and simple.

A good luggage locator, however, has a bit more to it than that. You should always check for a few features before making your purchase because discount models typically aren't as durable. First, check that the transmitter is very lightweight and, especially, water resistant. Because you'll be carrying the transmitter with you during your travel you must ensure that it can take a bit of a beating and take a bit of water being splashed on it. It should also be lightweight so it fits comfortably in your pocket. This feature may sound simple and unnecessary but they mean the difference between a high quality luggage locator and one that will break easily.

One of the best things about luggage locators is this: when you order a set, the receiver and transmitter will be programmed to work together. If you have multiple pieces of luggage, however, you can purchase additional receivers that will also be programmed to work with the same transmitter. Imagine how convenient it will be to press a button and have all of your luggage flash and chirp to alert you to its location.

The price of a luggage locator is also very affordable. For between $20 and $30 you can purchase a very durable and high quality luggage locator that will stand up to many trips. You can also purchase additional receivers in the same order for about $15 extra. With a warranty of 12 months and the durability to last for years, luggage locators are a must-have item for frequent travelers. You can find a good luggage locator in any department store, retailer, or luggage store. You can also shop online for well-priced luggage locators for even more convenience.
