I must have received an updated version of the product. The biggest complaint listed here is that the product will "hold" the determined weight very quickly. This is good if you need to write/record the weight as it will stay on the screen after the scale has determined the object's weight. This is inconvenient if you are say pouring something into a bucket and trying to get up to a specific weight, as the scale might "hold" before you are done pouring.
BUT ....
My scale has an "advanced" mode switch behind the battery cover that turns the "hold" feature off. With this enabled the scale is measuring the weight continuously and indefinitely. This is a big plus for certain applications (like I previously mentioned.
FYI
I very much like the scale, I have not had it long so I cannot speak to the longevity of it, but so far I'm 100% happy with it. It is a bit smaller than I would have guessed it to be.
