Digital scale that DOES NOT shut off automatically?

nataliebordeauxx · August 2015

Orrrrrr... shuts off after 2 + minutes? The scale I've been using for 3 + years recently broke & is out of production. I have recently tried 2 new ones -- one shuts off super quick & the other one is not reliable/accurate. Did some browsing on Amazon, and would love some input from the people here!

Thanks for your time!

This is the one I have, it's very accurate but does shut off after three minutes.
I've had it for about three years and it has taken a beating.

Good lord I need more caffeine!

I have Ozeri model no zk12-bk

My favorite feature is it stays on and doesn't turn off until quite a lengthy time of inactivity, 2-3 minutes maybe?

I would not be able to deal with a scale that shut off prematurely all the time. Dealbreaker.

Yay - thank you! The top portion of the scale, where you place the items... is it loose/does it detach completely from the base, or is it attached?

Only asking because I've had a scale before that this portion detached, and after doing that a few times, the scale became inaccurate.

Thank you both so much!

It is attached.
It also survived an unexpected bath, just needed to dry out over night.

So great - thanks for taking the time to reply. Both of these scales look awesome!

OXO. I think it stays on for 5-6 minutes and has a Hold feature. I always turn it off myself to save the battery.

You can read the display with a plate on it, too.

Aria WiFi scale from fitbit is my choice. I doesn't stay on but it logs your weight and sends it to fitbit and MFP so I can go back as far as a year to see my weight at that time.

Another vote for the OXO. The readout is detachable so if you have a large plate on the weighing platform, you can take out the display to be able to read it.

The 11 pound capacity OXO is also America's Test Kitchen's winner of the digital scale review. 4 AAA batteries included.

The 5 # OXO seems to have all the features other than capacity and is half the price.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - WINNER

OXO Food Scale

Exceptionally intuitive. The super-clear display offers an optional backlight, four easy-to-read buttons, and, unique to OXO, can be pulled out from the large, removable (i.e. washable) platform when weighing bulky items.
