Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Digital Minute/Second Timer
Customer Review: Digital Timer for Exercise Motivation
Summary: 5 Stars
I lost my previous timer and didn't exercise that day. I had been exercising for nearly three years (except for sickness). After several more days, I had to have another.
I mix up my cardio, but want a minimum of 30 minutes. With the timer, I can set it for the 30 minutes, then it beeps when I reach my goal. Or I can leave it at 0, start it and work out.
I like the large digits. I can see it without having to stop (my work out). I don't think I can ever do without it. And it's not a complicated piece, just three buttons, clearly marked, and a two-button combination to clear. Nothing else to learn.
My timer also helps me to slow down my Weight Training routine (for maximum benefit). Besides exercise, I use it to push myself to do other chores I don't care for. I really this timer.
Customer Review: Cheap quality. Breaks easily.
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought about six of these to time students taking tests. Yes, they measure how much time students have left. That's the good.
The bad? Everything else. The buttons are hard to push. The build quality isn't that great. But the worst part for us is that the little stands on the back break off very easily, so they basically lie flat, with the numbers facing the ceiling, which means students can't see the numbers very easily.
The problem is that plastic parts on the back break because they are too thin. This has happened to just about all of the timers we bought--one by one, they are becoming useless.
And I don't think that these are all that cheap. They're seven bucks or so a pop; you can buy digital watches for less.
Customer Review: Timer is fine - clip/magnet broke off
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this as a stocking stuffer (yes, as a college student I still receive stocking stuffers :-)).
The clock itself works fine. It can count up or down. I do not believe it stops beeping at any point once the alarm goes off (at least it continues to beep for 5 minutes). This might be a pro or con depending on what you are looking for. The neat little clip/magnet on the back was something I wanted in a timer, but on this Taylor timer, the clip broke within two months of occasional use. The plastic is cheap, so that is probably what is to blame. Overall, I'd suggest another timer because the clip/magnet was really what I liked in this cheap little timer.
Customer Review: Very convenient !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my review on the Taylor Digital Minute/Second Timer.
I purchased it to have an audible signal to let me know when to stop my workouts. It is very convenient in that it has a magnet on the back and you can attach it to any metal area or you can extend the back clip so it stands on its own on any counter top or you can clip it to your belt or shirt pocket. When you need to know exactly how long or when you only need to count down to so many minutes or seconds, then this is a great product for you. It comes with its own AAA battery and has a big digital readout. I hope this helps to make a decision for you.
Customer Review: Awful timer
Summary: 1 Stars
I have not been able to use this timer at all. The 2 buttons on the front of the timer to increase or decrease the time, only increase the time and to get to 2 minutes you have to hit the up button at least 120 times. I cringe to think if you were trying to get to 60 minutes, the maximum on the timer. Also, I have my timer permanently set for 1.59 minutes and cannot clear it to go off. There is no off button and it does not clear by itself; when you run it and it comes to 00, then it goes back to the time you had set. No clearing it at all after it runs. DON'T BUY THIS TIMER! I wish I could return it!!!
