does this scale have an "auto off" feature? If so, how long is it?

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

It does have one. .I think it defaults to 2 mins and I think it is adjustable. . I do know that you can turn on and off the auto shutoff so it will stay on all the time if you want. My wife loves this scale and the auto shut off was an issues on her old one but on this one it gives her plenty of time to do all of her measuring and weighing without shutting off.

Yes, the scale does have the auto off feature, but I don't know how long it takes. I haven't used it enough times to find out and the accompanying literature doesn't say. I bought this scale because it's used by Old Dominion Soap Company (odsoap.com) where I took lessons in how to make soap. Th owner has many of these scales and recommended it highly. She may be able to answer your question.Her name is Carole Kindel.

From pressing the "on/off" button, or any change in the display (adding or removing weight) mine auto shuts off after 2:07 minutes consistently.

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.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

When i step on my scales, it automatically gives weight. I do not have on/off button. just make sure you have batteries in place hope this helps

It doesnt matter wht is starts ut with when you turn it on, you just click the scale you want and it stays there every time you turn it back on. Very simple, and very good. Nice scale.

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.

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!

It does have an auto off feature. If there is no operation, the unit powers off between 3 and 5 minuets. It is a great tool and very accurate. I really like mine.

It stays on until you shut it off. However, it has a sleep mode if not used for a while. All you have to do is touch the scale to wake it up. If not used for awhile (15 minutes or so), and it has not switched to sleep mode, the scale will show .03 (or some other number). We just touch the scale, wait one or two seconds, and then place the next package on it. There may be a setting that will prevent this, but we haven't taken the time to check for it. It doesn't bother us as it is.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. I have only had the scale for 3 or 4 months and have not needed to reset it yet. If I can find my instruction book, I will look in there and will try to find the answer for you.

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

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.

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

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.

The only way I have found to delay the auto off feature is to tap the scale every so often while in use. Doing so will keep it running longer
