Two questions:1. Will the scale stay 'on', giving you more time to add or subtract from the substance being weighed?

It's an auto shut off; however, I've always had time to add or remove something. It doesn't shut off rapidly, but it comes back on instantly when you touch the power bar. I like this product a lot.

Yes. It allows you to set up the container and reset it to zero. Then you can have an accurate weight.

It times out at about 60 seconds, but it's easy to restart afterwards. I hope that helps. I didn't get the second question.

Yes. Seems like they all should do that since you are using it to precisely measure ingredients. This one does give you plenty of time to add or subtract.

Sylvia, I see you received some yes and some no answers. The scale that I received automatically turns off 60 seconds after the last operation. The scale works great. Jim W

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

I use a piece of plastic on the scale and then put the food on the plastic. I never place food directly on the scale. There is a tare weight that you use when you turn it on with the plastic in place. You still get an accurate reading. I just use a damp cloth to wipe it off. I never put food directly on it.

It changes until it senses the weight has stabilized. There are very few buttons so I highly doubt that can be done. If you are looking for a scale to measure things as you add to it, like a kitchen scale, I would not get this for that.

If you can't see the display, when you remove the package, the weight stays on the screen for several seconds, maybe 30 seconds or so. Plenty of time to see the reading.

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.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

1-2 seconds. once your weight is on the scale it is very fast, blinking 3 times when the weight is captured. it seems to be able to capture even when your balance changes. there is (a-ha!) no way to stand differently to register a smaller weight! no changing locations on the floor. of course, it needs to be on a hard floor.

I don't think so, but you can trick it by "tapping" it lightly with your finger if you are taking too long. Every time the weight changes a little the shut-off timer resets. Doing this only changes the weight momentarily, as the number should go back to what is was before the tap (if it is working properly).

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that onewill be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

The time and temp stay on all the time. The weight portion goes off after about 10 seconds once you step off the scale.

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

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.
