Digital Scale Up To 11lbs Without Auto Shutdown

[hockman4357]

The Polder scale that I purchased at Costco seems to work well but the auto shutdown really drives me crazy!  It seems to be shutting down much sooner than the 3 minute mark.  What scale can you recommend that allows the auto shutdown to be turned off or at least saves the displayed weight prior to shutdown?

I just bought an Escali Model 136DK. Just received it today as a matter of fact.
I tested the Auto-Off function and it turned off after about 10 min. (Manual says after 5).
However I also bought the A/C power adapter and when you use it, it overrides the auto-off function and does not shut off.
It weighs up to 13 lbs., has a tare function and does Grams, Ounces, KG/gm and LB/Oz.
The platform is removable for cleaning.
Some useless information -- My cell phone weighs 132 grams.

Under "buyers guide"  he has a few recommendations on best scales.

It is an excellent site for recipes, methods, etc.  He has tested pretty much everything.

Hockman,

I have the Polder KSC-305 and mine does the exact same thing.  Barely 5 seconds and it's out.  I emailed the company and they're sending me another one.  I can't imagine they wouldn't test it before they send it as I read a review somewhere that mentioned the same thing.  On mine if you look closely it's only the back light that goes out you can still read the numbers but they're faint.
