Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 40053 Triple Timer with Clock, White
Customer Review: fine at timing, it's the little things that make it stink
Summary: 2 Stars
At its central job, timing things upward or downward, this does a fine job. But a couple of things make using this timer incredibly irritating:
--small, weak magnet that is poorly placed, making the timer both unstable when you're using the buttons (since the magnet is oriented vertically so it wants to rock side to side) and magnetically unsticky. This thing drops off the fridge constantly. I would put it elsewhere if I could but that's the only spot in my small kitchen that works. It can clip to things or sit propped up if that works for you, but if you're looking for something to stick on the refrigerator door and not go flying off if you close the door a little bit too hard, keep on moving, friend.
--the beeps, both while setting and for end of timing, are way, way too loud for my taste. Maybe in a commercial kitchen this much piercing volume would be useful, but it's overkill for a home kitchen, even one filled with people.
The triple timer feature is nice, even though I've never used more than two simultaneously. I'll hang onto this until it dies (which may be sooner than later since it often goes flying across the room), but I definitely won't replace it with the same thing. I've had a couple of Polder single timers with thermometer features, but they seem to have very weak internal soldering and tend to break with only minor abuse. So I'm still looking for the ideal timer.
Description of West Bend 40053 Triple Timer with Clock, White
time up to three activities simultaneously with easy-to-use functions, 3 distinct alarms that sound for up to 1 min., and a clock display that makes this the perfect timepiece for a kitchen or garage. The large, easy-to-read LCD face tracks 3 activities at once to and from 100 hours. Comes with a memory feature, plus a clip, stand, magnet and hanging hole for versatile use. Requires 2 AAA batteries (included).Cook three dishes at once without the hassle of estimating individual cooking times. West Bend?s convenient digital triple timer features three separate alarms that signal when dishes are done. An easy-to-read LCD screen calculates up to 100 minutes in timer mode and notes the hour, minute and second as an AM/PM clock. Its simple design provides a separate button for each timer for straightforward programming. The alarms steadily beep for a minute, or until the user pushes the on/off button. A memory function also recalls the timer?s previous setting--useful for baking several batches of cookies of canning several pots of jam.
Equipped with a clip, magnet, hanging hold, and stand, the timer conveniently perches on a countertop, hangs from a cabinet hook, affixes to the refrigerator, or clips onto an apron pocket. The timer is powered by two included AAA batteries. For best results, wipe clean with a damp cloth. The timer measures 2.7 by 3 by 0.7 inches, and weighs 1 pound upon shipping. West Bend covers the product with a one-year warranty. --Jessica Reuling
