If I use it to weigh a box and can't see the read out, does the screen hold the read out so I can read it when I remove the box? TIA!

Put the box on the scale. Press tare. Remove box. Negative weight of box should be on the readout.

Haven't tried that, but I would guess it doesn't. The Reading is sensitive to any changes as if you were adding or removing ingredients. But if you use the TARE button, when you remove the box you'll have a negative Reading- that's the box's weight

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

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

Yes, if you tare the weight with something on the scale and then take it off, it will tell you the negative weight. (Negative weight meaning what the object on the scale weighted, before taring the scale back to 0.)

Very hard to see it when box is on it, i would suggest one with a separate display (movable corded display) Dan

It shows current weight for about 10 seconds after use. Have not seen any indication of prior readings but then I have not really investigated that.

If you use this technique you can... place a flat stable item on it, then place the plate. Is it stable? Now, if you can see the display, use those 2 as your tare weight. Take off plate put what you what onto weigh on it put it back on the "stand" and it will give you a true measure just like using a smaller plate!

It has a tare button, I assume that would clear any irregularities. It will weigh an item that's one tenth of an ounce, so no you don't have to do heavy stuff.

Yes, I have used this scale for very large boxes. Just place scale on level surface and center box on scale. The digital read out is on a long cable so it is easy to place it away from the scale to read the weight. Works GREAT!!!!!

The unit does not "hold" the highest weight automatically. It displays in real time the weight on the scale. Using the hold button you can keep the weight on display even after removing the load.

The one I have shows the weight increasing and decreasing. I don't think it has a hold function.

When you lift it up attached to the luggage the read out is facing up not to the side as it appears in the photo. I had to use 2 hands to lift my luggage. You can also select pounds or kilos. It was very accurate as compared to the scale at the airport.

Not that I know of. If you have smaller boxes and can see the display you can quickly way them and it will not lock. If you have larger boxes, I wait 5 seconds, then remove them to see the wait. But of course you now have to wait thru the locked time.

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.

This has two parts, the deck on which you weigh things, and the display/controls (pictured). They are separate, so you can easily see the display without having, for example, to peer under a large box overhanging the deck of a standard machine in which the deck and display are one.

Just received it yesterday and I was disappointed that it does NOT hold the reading. I am considering returning it.

No, but I simply put large packages on it and wait 5 seconds, short count, then the weight locks in for a bit. Remove the package and you can see the weight. I absolutely recommend this scale!

I recently purchased this scale with the intention of weighing small packages to mail. I did test its weighing accuracy with another digital scale, & it was almost the same reading - within 1/10th on an ounce. You can choose the unit of weight. I only used it in lb:oz setting. It does have a fluid oz unit setting. You can weigh your container, then clear the on/tare weight to reset to '0', then add your foods into/onto your container. The display will show the item weight since your last clear. When you are finished, clear the weight, & remove your container from the scale. The total weight including your original container will display briefly. I wrote down the weight of the container, then subtract it from the total. Because I am using the scale to weigh packages, it is hard to see the screen underneath the larger package. Thats why I reset the weight to '0' then remove my package. If you are weighing smaller amounts where the screen is not obstructed, then the weight reading is the weight of the item(s) since the last clear. The scale is durable however, it is not sealed against spills getting underneath the sides. Another thing I have noticed. The scale will turn itself off after no activity in a few seconds. I cannot comment on its life expectancy. So far so good. Judy
