Will this scale stay on at all times until we turn it off? It says auto off is selectable but I just want to make sure.

It stays on all the time unless you specifically turn it off. We never do and it works fine.

about 2-5 minutes it auto shut-offs quite fast gets annoying at times but the scale is still worth it.

Yes, it auto shuts down after about 30 secs of inactivity... it's kind of a pain to keep poking the scale when I'm measuring stuff.

Yes it does have an auto shut-off feature. I'm not so sure exactly how long before it turns of, but I'dguess at around a minute or so. I really do love this scale, by the way. Sometimes if I'm weighing something that isn't finished yet and I need to get additional ingredients, I just press down on the bowl (or whatever it is containing what I'm weighing) for a second which lengthens the time it will stay on.

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.

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.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

The first two reviewers are wrong, and MeasuRite is correct: you tare with the on/off button, as with many other digital scales. To actually turn it off, you HOLD the button for 3 seconds.

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 the Item.

Hi, I just checked it as because I never switched it off by hand until now. The gauge comes with auto-power-off after ~5min it switches off automatically.

Haven't used it yet, but it is advertised as a "stay on" unit, no auto-off. Hope this helps

One never weighs material on scale directly, one has to buy small wax paper or other weighing paper. As far as not staying on , it should stay on as long as you are weighing something. It will turn off once the scale isn't being used

It will shut off after a minute or so... but more importantly than that the dish it comes with will scrub the sides of the opening of the case causing inaccurate readings near is 20 gram limit and must be centered well before measurements can be made. All and all its a good scale and is very accurate. If needed I would buy this on again. Works great for weighing gold flake!

Until you turn it off. It doesn't have a built-in timer function to turn off automatically.

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.
