Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Minute/Second Timer
Customer Review: Nice and Cheap(ly) Made
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved this Timer when I first used it for about Five Months, a few times a Week. Then the little holder for the spring-loaded back-stand broke in both places. I could no longer stand it up or attach it to Metal (e.g., a Microwave or Refrigerator). VERY thin and cheap Plastic Construction. It could not be repaired.
In short, if you need a Timer with a Magnet that works, or need to stand your Timer up on a Counter, look elsewhere. I should have believed the earlier postings. My foolishness, my loss. Now this Timer is a hand-held Accessory, only.
I did like that it had Large Numbers, and would return to your last time until you cleared it (great for grilling Steaks).
This Timer was made in China and is very light. I bought it to repalce a sturdier West Bend Timer--Made in British Hong Kong--that lasted me 25 Years. It also has a similar Back-Stand and Magnet--still functionng perfectly (the electronics finally went wonky).
Once Burned, Twice Shy, as the English say....
Addendum/Update:
After posting this Review I went to my Taylor Timer paperwork and realized that this Taylor Timer was Warranted For One Year. I dutifully went to their Website, followed their insructions, and mailed it off to New Mexico with USPS Tracking. It arrived in two days. I waited 3 Weeks for the replacement's arrival--to no avail. I then called their Customer Service Department, and explained the situation. The very nice and polite Lady there had me read off the Model Number from the package (part of the UPC Code), and ordered a replacement for me. I received it two days later. Moral: (1) Keep all Receipts and Packaging until the Warranty Period ends, and (2) Don't depend on Website information--always call and confirm all details. As it turns out they only ship UPS, and I have a P.O. Box, so I had to provide a Home Address--no worries. This was NOT stated on their Website. The slacker who received the broken Timer just threw it in a pile and forgot it--no e-mail, phone call, or letter (all this information was given with the broken Timer). Hence the 3 Week delay. Grrr. But the Nice Lady fixed it, so now I am a Happy Camper again, as I really do like this Timer. I hope this one holds together for more than five months of once-a-week to twice-a-week usage.
Addedum/Update #2:
The same part broke again within two weeks of occasional use. I can still use the Timer, but it will not stand up on the Kickstand--which also holds the Magnet--as that is what broke. Extremely poor engineering, and Materials used. If you want a Timer you can set on a counter, or magnetically attach to a Microvave or Stove, this is NOT THE ONE. Look elsewhere. I tried two of them, then gave up. I keep it in my pocket now--a big hassle when I'm cooking.
Description of Taylor Digital Minute/Second Timer
Classic Big Digit Digital TimerGreat for the kitchen, workout room, or home shop, this small digital clock/timer is useful in counting down cooking time, timing circuit training exercises, or tracking paint or wood glue drying time. No bigger than the palm of a hand, the timer is magnetized to stick to a refrigerator or stovetop or, alternatively, hangs via a clip or mounts onto a table with its wire stand. The large 0.7-inch LCD screen is easy to read and displays the current time in hours and minutes. When set for timing, the instrument displays in minutes and seconds and times up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, which is ideal for monitoring cook times on dishes that require slow cooking, such as braised meats. The timer counts either up or down and emits a beeping noise when time has elapsed, which is easily turned off by pressing the Start/Stop button. The timer runs on a single AAA battery (included), and Taylor ensures complete accuracy in its readings through a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
