Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Robinson Knife Pyrex Digital Timer
Customer Review: Poor design - but cheap
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a poor design, good thing it is cheap.The numbers are large and easy to read, but the timer does not display seconds when counting down - nor can you program it for anything except whole minutes. In count UP mode it does show seconds, but it limited to 19m 59s and does not beep in that mode.
To set the timer you hit either the hour or minute buttons repeatedly until the time you want is displayed, then hit the start/stop button and the countdown begins. No seconds, so only the flashing ":" lets you know it is running. When it hits 0 a nice loud beep sounds that continues for a minute or until you hit the start/stop button again.
More problems - when it does count down and beep, hitting the start/stop button DOES silence the beep but then it goes into count up mode and starts running. To stop it you have to hit the hour and minute button at the same time.
In addition, I have had it fail twice to beep when it was done counting down. So you have to watch it to see if it hits 0 - a fatal flaw.
Also, the mounting is just stupid. It has a small clip in the back and a magnet. The magnet holds well, but the small clip it attaches to means the timer does not stick flush with the surface. So when you try to hit the buttons - particularly the start/stop button since it is so far off center - then the whole timer "rocks" on the small clip and magnet. This not only makes the buttons hard to press, it has made the timer fall off a couple of times. This is another near fatal flaw.
This does run on a single AAA battery rather than a more expensive (and shorter lasting) watch type battery. Goog thing, since there is no off switch. Also, it does not have a clock mode so when not in use it stupidly displays 0:00 while it runs down the battery.
Spend a little more and get a timer with a better design.
