Does the weight stay lit up a little while after stepping off the scale? I wear bifocals and need to step back in order to read the numbers.

Yes, the display stays lighted for several seconds and eventually reverts to 0.0 and then shuts off.

Yes, I just checked and it stayed lit up for about 6 seconds after stepping off the scale.

Your weight will stay on the display for about 3 seconds after you step off.

Hi Carole. After stepping off, the number stays for about 5-6 seconds. I have had no trouble reading the numbers even while standing on the scale. They are 1 1/2 " high and I doubt you'll need your bifocals. Enjoy your purchase!

I just checked, the screen shows the weight for about 4 seconds after you get off of it. The screen is quite large and clear, so you may be able to read the weight without needing to step off the scale.

The digital numbers stay lit for at least five seconds after stepping off of the scale. I hope this helps.

If you stay actively weighing things...it stays on, but if you pause for 60 seconds...it will turn off.

As long as you stand long enough for the scale to stabilize it should give you the same weight each time. What I mean by stabilize is once you've been on it a few seconds it will blink and then the number stays even when you step off so you can read it easier. I weighed myself, then do it again while leaning forward, then again leaning backwards, and then I stood on it with only one foot. I got the same exact reading each time.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. So I'll tell you what I know about it. After taking my weight, the display goes off after about 5 seconds . So there is no weight constantly on. (If yours stays on perhaps it's defective?) When the next person steps on it, the display comes on and begins to show the new weight. This occurs whether the succeeding weight is a person, or an object.

I'm not sure about the correct way to stand on the scale. I think I stood on it barefooted, with my heels on the back of the scale and my toes hanging off the front. I do know that each time I stood on it, I stood with my feet in the same position - and still got different readings. As I recall, the readings were 2-3 pounds different each time. If you haven't had the scale more than 30 days, I would return it - it's just too inaccurate. Hope this helps.

This scale does need you to be still for a moment, but it responds quickly. If you are moving, you do shift the weight that is shown on the display. It can give you a couple of different weights if you move too much.

Weight is shown while standing on this excellent scale. While I have never thought about it in terms of seconds, while I am standing on it there is plenty of time to read the number after stabilization. It shuts off immediately after stepping off.

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

No. And I luv it! Make sure big toe and heels R on metal. And weigh 2-3 times to confirm accuracy. I skip my nutritionist thanks to this scale :D

You know ours weighs about a pound and a half light. I didn't realize it until I weighed on my old scale, then checked with the doctor's scale. Since my husband has macular degeneration, I was just glad he could weigh himself without my reading it for him. I just add a pound and a half to whatever it says. I didn't see anything in the user guide about resetting it.

I'm also short, but I just stand on the scale back to front with a foot on each side of the window, and I never had a problem seeing the number. And you can also see it immediately after you step off.

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

I cannot really answer your question, I just know that at times you get on the scale & it weighs you one thing, then step off & back on and it might give you an entirely different weight, then if you take your batteries out and put them back in it also might give you another weight. Sometimes I would think I wish I had gotten one of the old fashioned scales without batteries.

At first I stood the regular way on the scale but you are right--it is hard to balance that way--especially since I am tall and have long feet! So then I started weighing the other way (horizontal). You do cover up the wt. window, but I found that if I step off quickly and then look at the window, the weight will stay in the window for a few seconds so you can see it. I found that by doing it this way, I got a more accurate wt. reading.

No, it turns off after few seconds.. You will have to take the weight off of the scale and weigh again in order to check the weight again.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.
