Does this model have the backlight? Also, what is the difference between the newest version 2018?

It does have a back light but I was really disappointed with the 2018 version and sent it back. The earlier version is still available and in my opinion is a much better device. The big difference is that the new one doesn’t do fractions it only does decimals and only to one numeral ( 1.2 ounces or 1.3, not 1.25 so no 1/4 oz equivalent). I need to be able to measure 1/8 of an ounce, 1/4 of an ounce, etc. The only way to do that in the new one is to use grams and I found the gram measurements on the new one to be wildly inconsistent compared to the old one. Instead of a button that switches between grams and ounces It switches between grams and kilograms and then ounces and pounds and then ounces. That means that every time you switch between grams and ounces you actually have to push the button multiple times. First it switches from grams to kilograms and then it switches to ounces and then to ounces and pounds. Hated it! Love the old one!

The previous model had an infuriating tendency to turn off automatically if a weighing task took too much time. Does this one turn off automatically?

The version we received today *does* automatically turn off when not disturbed for 5 minutes .We timed it with a stopwatch, and while auto-off is annoying, 5 minutes is good enough for when we’re making soap, etc.

OXO has another 11 pound model that is $10.00 cheaper. What is the difference and why is this one $10.00 more?

The one that's $10.00 cheaper is the immediately preceding model to this one. Its about 4 years older. I had it and loved using it and only replaced it when it went bad. The cheaper one is not as slick, a bit more kludgy when it comes to using it but by no means difficult, has a bit of a smaller display screen etc. But its a perfectly worthy machine. The new one is a generation newer and carries both the style and utility benefit of having a generation more to learn from. I'm very happy with it and was very happy with the older one too.

Does have the option to measure purely in ounces (i.e display 40 oz instead of 2lb 8oz)?

I found the manual online which makes it clear you can do this. "Press the Unit Button to switch between measuring in ounces, ounces and pounds, grams, or grams and kilograms."
