Alessi Kitchen Timer by Michael Graves Review

Alessi Kitchen Timer by Michael Graves
Average Reviews:

We bought the red Alessi timer because it would have been a perfect fit for our kitchen. But, we had trouble getting it to work right and we're pretty sure that we broke it while messing with it. We're really not rough people; it just seems that the timer is much too easy to break. (Note: We learned that this timer must be turned all the way to 60 and then back to the time you want. The instructions don't say that. The timer still didn't work for us, but we think it was already broken by the time we learned about that.)

Everyone coments on these magnets when they come over. The only issue I had was when I got them in mail the actually magnet part was dislodged in 2 of the tiles, but a little glue solved the issue easily.

They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number 1. This success was repeated in many other countries and their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over 1 billion discs and tapes worldwide.

Polder TMR-530-95 Digital Rotary Timer, Black Review

Polder TMR-530-95 Digital Rotary Timer, Black
Average Reviews:

It seems like a good idea...a timer you set by rotating the ring around the outside with a lanyard to keep it handy while you are working. But this timer is a frustration and a big PITA!!
First the "pros": It keeps time and the alert is sufficiently loud. The lanyard is a good idea. The magnets on the back seem strong enough to hold it to most surfaces.
However, the design is poor. First of all, this thing is big, 3" in diameter and 1.5 inches thick.
Second, it is shaped like a flying saucer and is slippery even when dry. If your hands are a bit wet or greasy it is nearly impossible to hold. If you have small or ham hands you would do well to look elsewhere.
Third, it is difficult to hold in one hand and rotate the ring to set the time, and just as clumsy to use two-handed.
Fourth, the ridges in the ring are shallow and not of much use.
Lastly, and the worst "feature," is the location of the buttons. The stop/start button is just to the right of the loop on the top, and the reset is on the left of the loop. When you pick it up you almost invariably hit the start/stop button...which starts it counting up unless the countdown timer is running. In that case you will stop the timing.
The lanyard connects to the top of the timer, but when you wear it around your neck the timer is upside down. When you pick it up to check the remaining time and turn it around...and there's those d@%# buttons again!
I wanted to like this timer, and the Polder name was a selling point, but they really blew it on this one.

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.

Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Mint Green Review

Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Mint Green

When I ordered this timer, it was initially back ordered. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived within just a few days.
It works perfectly by keeping extrememly accurate time. It passed the cookie baking test with flying colors. The magnetic backing is perfect for sticking to any surface at any angle.
The ad for this timer isn't specific and pictures it in a way that implies it is much larger than it actually is. Be aware that it is small, which works for my tiny workspace.
Overall, I am very pleased with my cute little retro timer!
