Polder TMR-528-47 Round 60-Minute Mechanical Timer, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

Polder TMR-528-47 Round 60-Minute Mechanical Timer, Brushed Stainless Steel

The magnet on the back was so weak that the clock kept falling off the oven. After a few falls, the back popped off, and I found that the mechanism inside is mostly plastic, and fitted in so close to the edges of the case that any distortion will cause it to stop running. The back was also made from metalized plastic, which is why it came off so easily, and two large steel nuts were glued inside, presumably to add weight so that it feels like a quality product, which it is not. I would guess that most other mechanical kitchen timers use the exact same movement, this one just has a more durable looking case.

La Crosse Technology Ws-8117U-It Atomic Wall Clock With Indoor And Outdoor Temperature And Moon Phase Review

I checked very carefully, and this *is* the model I have. This is a GREAT, easy to set up, easy to use product that I wouldn't trade for anything. It has been prominent in my kitchen for over a year now, and I love it!
There is a slight catch: you do have to read the directions. Apparently, this a far more daunting challenge for most people than I would have guessed, as they only took me about five minutes to read.
Yes, the moon phases can appear backwards, but the illuminated portion of the clock matches the illuminated portion of the moon. This is a very minor complaint and after I got used to it (again, about five minutes), it hasn't thrown me off since.
Again, yes, you have to put a thermometer outside to have the outside temperature. I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting. On the plus side, I've always found it extremely accurate, and what's more, the signal appears to be able to pass through an entire house with no problem.
But, no, this clock adjusts itself and I haven't had to worry about resetting it for a long time.
I love this thing and never plan on replacing it with anything else. After reading these other reviews, I guess my only complaint is that it doesn't have a drink ready for me when I get home.
BTW, I find myself using the moon phases a lot more than I would've guessed.
