Does this scale have an automatic shut-off and if so after what amount of time?

I have gotten much more than 2-3 minutes before auto shut off... Maybe 8-10 minutes? It stays on an exceptionally long time. Very helpful. This is an outstanding feature of this scale. Plus, if you require longer, you can use the included AC cord - I am not sure if it ever shuts off if it is plugged in. In either case, you don't have to worry that when you come back to it after doing something in the kitchen that you will have lost your readings. I use this scale every day, and am 100% happy with it.

It shuts off automatically. I haven't timed it, but I would guess it's about a minute. It's enough time to leave it and check a recipe and come back to it. This is a fabulous kitchen scale; when the first one broke down (after a few years of heavy use) I didn't think twice about replacing it with the same product.

Weight is shown while standing on this excellent scale. While I have never thought about it in terms of seconds, while I am standing on it there is plenty of time to read the number after stabilization. It shuts off immediately after stepping off.

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.

It's been awhile since I bought it. I don't remember, but I can tell you I have not had any problems the scale. It has worked flawlessly and it's eztremely accurate.

The answer to your question is NO. The auto-off time function is DISABLED when using AC-Adapter. This feature is valid for American scales models SC-2KG/A and SC-501/A. I recommend you to check the user manual. This function is perfect when you need to weigh many ingredients. Good luck !!

It has an automatic shut off, though it does not take 4 hours for it to shut off. I believe mine shuts off after 2 hours.

Just press the power button once firmly but not long enough to turn it off. That will zero the scale.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

It should turn off. Mine displays the weight for a few seconds and then turns off. You may have a defective product. Sorry! I would get in touch with the seller,depending on when you purchased theItem.

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

It's more than a few seconds, I'm trying it now. With something on the scale being weighed it seems to stay on at least more than a minute. With the object removed it goes back to zero, but I don't watch it enough to see if it eventually shuts off. Not sure I want to watch this thing much longer to answer how long it stays on. If it helps, I have had this one year now and the original battery is going strong. It's an LED screen and takes little power even if on all the time, like an old digital watch. Good luck and best wishes.

Michele,If you don't do any weighing, it will stay on for 3 minute before the auto shut off. If you are weighing a series of items, the three minute auto shut off will reset with each weighing to another 3 minutes.Also, the Tare feature lets you automatically return the scale to zero at anytime so you can weigh multiple items in a row. You do this by pressing the "On/Off/TARE" button.Hope this helps.

To my best knowledge, it does not. Nothing from the manufacturer indicates an automatic shutoff. But then, the longest I've used mine is 45 minutes.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

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

When you get on the scale, the display flashes when the weight is stable. Now, you can get off the scale. After you get off the scale, the weight is still displayed for about 10 seconds before it is shutoff. Its not in minutes, but it stays on for 10 seconds.
