Does this scale do negative weighing?

Yes, if you tare the weight with something on the scale and then take it off, it will tell you the negative weight. (Negative weight meaning what the object on the scale weighted, before taring the scale back to 0.)

Excuse me, but I do not know what "negative" weighing is unless you might be in space.

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

Yes. You put whatever container you've got on it, then tap the button on the right to zero the scale.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

no, its just an accurate scale and has worked well. it can track 5 different weights

Yes it does. And what's nice is that you can remove the container after hitting the tare button, and the scale remembers the value (it will then show a negative value when the container is removed). So it allows you to remove the container and fill it at a more convenient location and then place the filled container back on the scale to weigh the contents' weight.

It does not, the scale will give you the wrong weight, it has to be on hard floors. Awesome scale, always gives me the right weight.

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

Yes if you put something on it, hit the tare button, weigh something else, and then remove it all. Like if you put a plate on it, zeroed it out and then weighed some food. When you remove the food and plate, it would show a negative.

Good question and according to the instructions it does do tare weight; it's displayed as a negative. Here's the info I have from the manual -- I. TARE WEIGHING (1.) Turn on the scale as described above. (2.) Place a container on the scale hook and wait for it to stabilize (HOLD will be displayed). 3. Tap the [] button. "0.00" or "0" will be displayed. (4.) You can now add items to the container or tray to obtain just the weight of the contents. (5.) When the container is removed, a negative number will be displayed. Press [] again to zero the scale. Note: The "[]" is the icon on the scale, which didn't copy here. But here's a link to the PDF: http://www.americanweigh.com/images/PDF/SR-Series_manual.pdf (search term "tare").

I attempted to weigh it on my scales and it does not register, so must be less than one pound. I do not find it to be heavy enough to hinder using it.

Yes it does. I just put a can with a spoon in it on the scale, zeroed it out, and then removed the spoon. The scale showed the weight of the spoon in a negative number with a minus sign. What a great idea, I will surely use this technique!

Yes, it does measure down to 1 gram, in 1 gram increments. If you clean the scale with water, only use a damp cloth, not one full of water.

Yes, the scale has decimal points. I was using this scale in a business and it no longer works accurately (even after changing the batteries). May have worked better if home use only.

Haven't tried that, but I would guess it doesn't. The Reading is sensitive to any changes as if you were adding or removing ingredients. But if you use the TARE button, when you remove the box you'll have a negative Reading- that's the box's weight

Not really. You have to use a VERY LIGHT container or it kind of messes with the accuracy. The scale actually comes with a clear plastic cover that works very well as a weigh container...

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.
