Jumbo 8-in Wall Mounted Kitchen Timer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this clock for my 91 yr old grandmother because of her failing eyesight. She called me less than 2 weeks later to tell me the spring broke and flew off so we had to send it back. The previous reviews said it was worth the money, but I will keep looking for a better one.

Progressive International Little Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Isn't this a cute and stylish timer? That's what I thought when I bought it...but as a timer it's useless. The buzzer is so faint and short, that you have to be standing nearby in the kitchen to hear it. Tonight I burned what would have been a wonderful pie because I was in another room when this weak buzzer sounded-and I didn't hear a thing.
I've had it! I've just ordered the Oregon Scientific digital timer to replace this cheap thing.

Haier MWM12001SCGSS 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1000-Watt Grill and Convection Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this when my 1100 watt Sharp died after 10 years. Have been intrigued by the concept of convection microwaves. Now understand that this is, essentially, a countertop oven that also happens to microwave.
Dimensions of the product, out of the box, are 12.25 high x 20.25 long x 14.5 deep BUT it just barely fits on our 17 inch deep microwave shelf. Why? Because behind the microwave "case" there are about 2 more inches of metal for the oven AND our outlet is directly behind the microwave, which means the plug takes up depth. On our 17" deep shelf there is about a 1/4" inch between where the feet of the microwave are and the edge of the shelf. Microwave door is just over the shelf. Plan for a real-life depth of 20 or 21 inches because:
Another surprise we received were Haier's recommendations for clearance around the microwave. They advise:
. 3" clearance behind
. 3" inch clearance on one side
. completely open on the other side
. 12" clearance above the microwave - so they want you to have a total of about 25" from countertop to bottom of cabinet (or anything else) above the microwave. In our kitchen, actual distance from countertop to cabinet bottom is about 19".
Why do they recommend this much clearance? While the microwave and grill portions of the oven work just fine without getting the unit too hot, if you plan to use the convection portion, watch out. The unit becomes EXTREMELY hot on the top and rear. For this reason, we're not using much of this feature, which kind of defeats the idea of getting a convection microwave. But for the price, looks, and other functions, overall we're pleased.
Some other cons:
. Cooking plates get H*O*T, even when you just use the microwave function. Definitely need potholders to handle when removing from microwave, even after as little as 2-3 minutes.
. Clock on the unit has a nice blue backlight, but this turns itself off and one cannot read the microwave clock without pushing a button to get the light to go back on. Don't plan on using your microwave as your visible clock in the kitchen.
. Must set the cook time using the dial or +30s button. If you want to put something on for, say 20 minutes, there are no number buttons to push. One just spins the dial until the time desired, or push the +30s second button 10 times. It's possible we'll eventually view this as a pro.
Pros:
. Cooks well. I find that the cooking speed is about the same with the 1000 watt Haier as it was with our 1100 watt Sharp - maybe just a hair slower.
. Rotates food for even cooking, and changes rotation direction when you open the door to stir and then re-start.
. Defrost function works well for us. Even, without cooking the edges.
. Looks good.
. Like the combination feature - can set microwave and grill with one setting.
. Could replace or be used instead of a regular oven.
. Good size for family. Easily fits 9x9 pan.
Given that we have a toaster oven and wall ovens, now that I really understand that a convection microwave is essentially a countertop oven, I might buy a regular microwave next time. But this is a good little oven that also looks great, and was a great price.

Kikkerland XL Magnetic Rotary Kitchen Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for an academic contest, so students could see how much time remains during the contest. I chose not to use it due to its many shortcomings.
First, in order to get the clock to ring an alarm, you have to wind it past a certain time. This is not indicated in the instructions. So, for a five-minute class assignment, the timer never rings. Second, the ticking is quite distracting, audible from across a classroom. Third, the timer doesn't accurately register the time. It's hard to discern where exactly "ten minutes" is, and the bell doens't ring until thirty or forty-five seconds after the time limit has expired (testing with a smaller digital timer.) The timer's hand even goes beyond zero, to 59 minutes, before the bell rings.
I had an immediate need, so I paid the next day shipping (shipping from Amazon is almos always great for me,) so I paid more for shipping than for the item. Sadly, that indicates the quality of the timer. You get what you pay for. My loss, I guess.
If you're cooking or have some other timing situation that doesn't require a great deal of accuracy, this timer should be fine if you're willing to handle it's quirks. For any semblance of accurate timing, please avoid this item.

Kikkerland Tape Timer Aluminum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have only owned this product for a week, however it appears to work nicely. The best part of this timer is its design. Everyone who has seen it loves it.
One note about functionality: To operate this timer, you have to pull the "tape" all the way out (60 mins) then you use an adjustment wheel on the bottom to retract it to the time you want. The unit will only work if operated this way. I did not find this to be a negative, but it is a bit more work than you would expect just from looking at it.

This unique Kitchen Tape Timer by Kikkerland is a modern way to keep time while cooking and baking. Shaped like a tape measure, this timer can be set up to 60 minutes. Simply lift the pull ring to go from 0 to 60 minutes and watch time pass as the tape decreases. This handy timer measure minutes, not inches, but you'll have fun with it nonetheless. An easy dial on the bottom allows you to bring tape measure down.Design by Jospeh Forakis.

Kikkerland TapeTimer Chrome Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The timer looks very cool. Given. I like the visual representation of the remaining time with the tape measure, too.
However, it ticks loudly! The ticking is very annoying, to the point that I decided to return it.
If you don't mind a ticking timer though, this product would be nice to own.

22690 .6" Red LED Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had a clock just like this one for nearly 20 years. We were so happy with it that when the switches finally wore out, we wanted another. But this one is better quality, so we expect it to last even longer! The LED display is compact, not too big. The brightness is just right by night or day. The controls are intuitive and very easy to set. It keeps time even in event of a power failure (blanked until power is restored). It's a simple, no frills design, well executed and at an unbeatable price. Full marks!

The Sharper Image EC-B100 Sound Soother Alarm Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sharper Image Sound Soother has a very sleek and modern design, however, there are a few flaws that detract from the overall experience.
First, the digital display is very bright in a dark bedroom. Unlike a regular, cheap alarm clock where only the time is lit, the entire display of the Sound Soother is backlit. If your bedroom has little ambient light at night, this display will emit a glow that some people may find too bright. Although there are three display brightness settings, there is little difference between them and the lowest setting is still bright. We have to turn the clock away from the bed at night so it's not directly in our face, but the glow is still significant.
Second, the sound quality could be better. This could be a tradeoff for the sleek design, but the sounds are not very natural coming out of the small rear speakers and are a bit tinny as another reviewer has noted. The volume control is not very good either, as the difference between the first, second, third, etc. volume selections are very noticeable. In other words, 1 is too soft for some sounds, but 2 is way too loud. The audio loop on some of the sounds is too short as well, and if you are concentrating on the sound you may be able to detect the pattern, which can be distracting as you are trying to fall asleep. Also, the control buttons themselves make a very loud and abrasive "click" sound when you push them, which seems odd for a machine designed to relax you.
Overall, the Sound Soother is a decent alarm clock that gets the job done, but it could definitely be improved (display too bright, audio quality is lacking, and buttons take away from the overall experience). Although it is made by Sharper Image, it has a somewhat "cheap" feeling to it. Despite the flaws, it is one of the better sound machine/alarm clock I came across that was less than $50.
