I have a question concerning this scale. Does it have an auto shut-off that can be turned off?

No the auto function cannot be turned off. I just tested the length of time till off, on my scale, and it's three minutes. I find that length totally acceptable. If you're using the tare button, and adding a succession of ingredients, the auto off gets reset back for the start of the three minute countdown, each time you hit the tare button and add another ingredient. Hope that helps. http://www.oxo.com/OA_HTML/xxoxo_ibeCCtpOXOPrdDtl.jsp?a=b&item=63529&section=10057

Yes, I believe it does have an auto-off feature. It has been a great machine and can be used for so many things.

If no activity is occurring, the scale stays on for 1 minute. Pressing the mode button if not actively weighing will reset the off timer and stay on for another minute. As long as weighing is occurring, i.e., as long as the display is changing, the unit will stay on. It only cycles off if no change in the display occurs after 1 minute.

My only complaint about this scale: it does shut off automatically after 2min without a significant change to the mass on the platform. I prefer no automatic shutoff but if you do prefer it this balance could not be more perfect

No. It does not automatically turn off. It is all manual on & off operation.

NO, it does not automatically shut off. I put mine on an external timer. Hope this helps.

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

Hello, actually I did not notice how long it will be shut off. When I weighted I just go for baken. But your question let me to check. I tried and it will take around 3 minutes shut off if no more weight. Hope this could give you a little help.

It's auto on and off. You place the scale on a hard (not carpet) surface and step on it. It turns on automatically. You have to make sure that there are batteries. It takes two of those circular batteries. The battery compartment is at the back of the scale frame.

Yes, it does have an auto shut-off feature. I'm not sure what the timings are but the feature is there.

the manual says "The scale will automatically turn off after 2 minute of no use." I just now put it on a timer twice and got 40 seconds both times. I turned it on, let it zero, put something on it, let it sit, and than started the timer. It is pretty quick, but I have not had any problem using it. I recommend it. I like it. I use it in a plastic zipper bag to keep it clean. I would definately buy it again. But I am not a heavy baker. I am just measuring stuff to put into bread machine usually. It turns off but not in the middle of a measure.

Yes it will turn off after 60 seconds idle, but if you just turn it back on again without removing anything from the scale it will read as zero, which is what you tared to get. If you delay in the MIDDLE of loading and it goes off, it will again be zero when you turn it on again, not the last mass that was displayed. If what you mean when you say "take a little while to load it" means it takes time to finish loading, ie. you are adding material continuously over the 60 seconds, it shouldn't turn off. As long as the mass changes within the 60 seconds, it should stay on.

I have been using it for 6-7 years and have not changed it. Scale turns off if not in use

John,It does not come off to clean it, At least not that I know of. However, I have wax paper I put down on top of the scale before I put anything on it to weigh it. Makes cleaning up easier =)

I'm not aware if it had an auto shut off. We just shut it off when were done. While it lasted.

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

I don't believe there is an auto shut-off. There is no button to turn it on or off. The panini press stays hot while it is plucked in and cools down only after it is plucked off.
