Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam, 91640, 99 Minute, 59 Second Digital Count up/Count Down Timer, White/Grey
Customer Review: Great timer
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had our Sunbeam timer for a couple years and think it is great. It gets a lot of use in our house as a kitchen timer, piano practice timer, reading timer, etc. and still works great. If you use the magnet rather than setting it down on a surface, it does stick out quite a bit... but that has not been a problem for us. As for not having a on/off switch, most digital timers do not have one and do not need one as they use little battery power. We own three different timers and none of them have an on/off switch. They all get used quite a bit, and I cannot even remember the last time I had to change the batteries.Customer Review: Decent for the price - some annoyances
Summary: 3 Stars
The timer is easy to use, once you get the hang of setting the time (if you only want seconds, you need to input 00 first to get past the minutes). The alarm is loud and fairly piercing, so it won't be ignored even if you're a couple of rooms away. Two things I wish were better on it - a more powerful magnet so it didn't move so easy on the the metal, and a change to the "stand" mechanism built into the clip. It falls into place every time you remove the timer from whatever the magnet is holding on to, and then you've got to put it back before using the magnet again.Customer Review: Sunbeam timer
Summary: 4 Stars
Over all good timer. I was able to disassemble the timers and paint the covers, so my kids could tell theirs apart from one another.
Inputting the time is a little different from any other timer I have used. The plastic casing and buttons feel cheap, but I have not had any problems with any of the 4 timers I purchased. The clip and magnet on the back sticks out quite a bit and makes it unsteady when entering the numbers and it is stuck to the fridge.
I have had them for about for about two months and all are working fine.
Customer Review: cheap, loud - counts up and down
Summary: 4 Stars
It's cheap, loud and it counts up and down. That's pretty much what I expect from a kitchen timer.
I like that it counts up as well as down
The magnet could be stronger - it barely holds on the fridge, and it can't be used to hold anything heavier than a small piece of paper.
It's really loud, and it uses the same beep to announce that you hit a key. In a perfect world, it would have a quiet beep for hitting a key and a loud beep for alerts.
I recommend it as a simple timer.
Customer Review: Excellent cooking timere
Summary: 5 Stars
This Sunbeam timer replaced one we had for several years and loved. This one is very good and has larger digits. We use the magnetic strip on the back to keep it on the refrigerator door.
The bad news is that the magnet is not as strong as in the last version and we have had to tape it to the door.
One very good point is that it chirps about 20 times when the time is up which gets you going to shut it off and take care of what you were timing.
