How long does the weight stay displayed after stepping off of the scale? My mother is visually impaired and needs to use a large magnifying glass.

Once you step off it doesn't stay long .. but while you on scale it's showing the numbers as long as youre on the scale. Numbers are big as well in the lighted display. I love this scale.

The weight on my Mira scale stays and blinks for about a minute. However, I find the scale is usually about 3 to 8 lbs. off.

She would have to wait until the numbers blink, then she can step out and get the magnifying class. She would have about 8s after stepping out to read the numbers.

Not long, the LCD display is large and can be read easily. When I stepped off, the display gets dark. Someone should be in close proximity at the weigh in.

Once you step onto the scale it will flash numbers for a bit until it settles on the proper weight. It last for several seconds and even holds for a little while after to step off the scale. I would recommend it to her as long as she has the magnifying glass at the ready!

yes it does hold the weight readout but not for long. you will probably want to try to read while you are weighing. it's very practical. hope this helps.

Yes. I am legally blind, and have no difficulty using the scale. It would be very helpful to you to have a sighted person read the instructions before you use it.

I just step on it and it reads in a regular, digital display...I first thought maybe I had to activate it with my foot first and wait for it to go to zero, like previous digital scales...but this one just needs to be stepped onto like a regular scale... hope that helps

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

You have to stay on the scale until the gauge thing at the top goes all the way to the right and then it will start displaying all the additional information. If you step on, the weight is displayed and then step off, the scale doesn't have time to calculate the information. You also need to stand still.

Yes. If you push the on/off button while weighing, it will "hold" the reading. Hope that helps.

No, not this model. The print on the scale is a bit small also. For those farsighted folks like me, you will need glasses to see your weight. Works well though, and very accurate.

It's a good size, I ware glasses and I can see the numbers with out them but when you stand on it just wait till it gets your weight. Then it will make a bunch of moving 0000. This tells you that you can get off and pick up the scale and see your info even better and shows your info 3x before shutting down. I hope this helps

Scale comes with 4 AAA Batteries. Life of batteries would depend on useage and how many family members use the scale. When batteries are low-LO appears on LCD. I just got my scale and have only used several times so far. When stepping on the scale weight will blink 2 times and final weight will be calculated. The screen onlystays lit for a 2-5 seconds and automatically turns off. Hopefully the batterieswill last for sometime. Hope this answers your question(s)

You just step right on. Then you have to center yourself and stay still until the scale blinks 3 times, indicating it has registered the weight. Then it saves it to compare to the the next time you weigh in. Love this thing!

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

There is a hold weight function, if you set the scale on the edge of a counter you can reach under the box push the hold button and remove the box to see the weight. The scale pad also sits high enough that if you are level with the scale you can easily read the display.

Yes, that is what I found. I have a small bathroom and don't have the room to leave the scale out; so it is stored on edge next to the cabinet. With the Tap-to-zero scale this replaced, this was never as issue and weighing took 15-20 secs. With the MIRA Instant On I have to: -step on and wait until the scale settles and flashes -step off and wait until the display is off -then re-weigh myself. I consistently see a 1-6 lb difference between the two readings. The scale is consistent after that...until it is stored back on edge. Perhaps not what it was designed to do, and the reason why I didn't return it. I don't know your application and I have not tested moving it from one flat place to another. Good luck.

Yes.. the weight will stay on for a few seconds... then the scale turns itself off to save the battery.

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 .
