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.

You are definitely not missing something. I get the same reading. Since you are holding something that is not a part of your normal body composition the scale gives you the actual weight that is standing on it. Between the handles and, I would assume, the coiled lead it will take into account the additional weight. If I want my true weight I step on the scale without the handles first. I use the handle and those readings for progress only, not actual weight.

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

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

I have had the scale for over 2 years and still not changed the batteries. So, a long time :) I sometimes use it everyday and sometimes once a week, depends on my mood.

No, it doesn't have that sort of function. You can however use the the Weaker/Stronger setting to tune the amount. It is pretty consistent with the amount it puts out so you may be able to fine tune any weight requirement you need with a scale and the stronger/weaker options.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

Unfortunately, no, the weight does not stay off. It won't be too long and the weight will be back.

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.

It does, in that if you place a container on it and press to zero the scale, then put in the container what you are weighing,and press the activating button again you will get the weight of what you added.

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.

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

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

No, but I simply put large packages on it and wait 5 seconds, short count, then the weight locks in for a bit. Remove the package and you can see the weight. I absolutely recommend this 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.

The unit does not "hold" the highest weight automatically. It displays in real time the weight on the scale. Using the hold button you can keep the weight on display even after removing the load.

When i step on my scales, it automatically gives weight. I do not have on/off button. just make sure you have batteries in place hope this helps
