How long will this scale stay on before timing out and shutting off? More than 300 seconds?

As long as you keep adding food, it will stay on. For example - you need 3 ozs.. and the piece of meat you just cut is 2.5 ozs.. you can add additional ounces to it. To fully answer this question: it stays on long enough.

Never really timed it, but the operation manual says it will shut off after two minutes of inactivity.

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.

The scale usually responds immediately, but sometimes it takes about 20 seconds. If your working with tiny weights, it helps if you put your finger on the scale and take it of; it seems to reset the scale. Remember this is not a $300 scale. I'm willing to put up with stuff for the price. I've checked it with some balance weights and it checks fine.

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

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.

I have not timed it but would estimate it to be 15 to 20 seconds, but if you are within it's sensor range, it will remain on, unless you stop any movement.once you move again, it'll come back on.

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 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.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

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

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.

No, it turns off after few seconds.. You will have to take the weight off of the scale and weigh again in order to check the weight again.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

It times out at about 60 seconds, but it's easy to restart afterwards. I hope that helps. I didn't get the second question.

Several minutes at least...my old scale was too quick but this one is great.I love this scale!

I usually step off the scale to give it time to reset. Then I step on again. If that do not work try taking out the batteries.

My scale has worked flawlessly. Make sure there is no stress (e.g., pulling to one side) on the power plug that goes into the scale. Also make sure that the plug is fully seated.
