Polder Timer with Vibrating Alarm - White Review

Polder Timer with Vibrating Alarm - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Simply put, this is the best, simple timer with a vibrate and light function, added. I don't know why they discontinued it. It tends to eat the battery a bit when you set all functions to go off at once, but then it comes back when you just put one on... I didn't consider it a problem at all, as I use it for meditation, and didn't need a super loud beeping. Love it. Bring it back.

Blue Digital Sand Timer by Polder Review

Blue Digital Sand Timer by Polder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A problem was immediately apparent when I removed the Polder Digital Hourglass Kitchen Timer from its packaging: The reflection from the clear plastic covers over the LCD displays makes reading the time from more than couple of feet away very hard or impossible.
(What isn't apparent from the picture on the product page is that there are actually plastic coverings over the LCD screens, so the picture doesn't show any indication of the problem with reflection.)
A few more complaints:
(1) Although the aesthetics of the timer is quite appealing overall, the timer looks a lot more plasticky than it does in the picture from the product page. While the construction of the unit isn't exactly shoddy, it doesn't scream quality either.
(2) The timer malfunctioned on me once -- the display froze up (not sure what I did to cause that) and the only way I was able to unfreeze it was to remove the battery and put it back in.
(3) The unit is poorly packaged -- when I took the unit out of the package, it already had a few scratches on one side (probably came from the unit being bumped around in the package).
There *are* a couple of things I really like about the timer, however.
(1) When stood on one of its ends, the timer displays the clock; when it's inverted, the timer displays the countdown timer. Nifty!
(2) It continues to keep track of the time elapsed after the timer has counted down to zero.
The timer comes in red, silver, black, and white as well.
---
The Polder Digital Hourglass Kitchen Timer serves its intended purpose very well. But I would have to give it an overall rating of 3.5 stars because of the issue with the hard-to-read LCD displays and the slightly less-than-satisfactory quality of the build.

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.)

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.

Sarut PY-KTOR 7-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 2-1/2-Inch Time Out Timer, Multicolor, 1-Pack Review

Sarut PY-KTOR 7-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch by 2-1/2-Inch Time Out Timer, Multicolor, 1-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this timer hoping that it would be something I could use during time-outs with my toddler son. I had thought that the timer would do a "dance" as the song played, and that it would be a nice way to inroduce time out to my son.
When I first used it, I thought it was broken, because it doesn't dance, as described in the write-up. It only moves one time just before the song. That is it. I was disappointed that it doesn't really dance, as described.
My biggest disappointment, however, is that the dial is VERY flimsy and broke within the first week of my using it (and I wasn't using it very much!). It will now turn, but the buzzer and song go off at random times, so I can't use it for time-outs, since it will confuse my son. In fact, quite often, the buzzer sounds and the song never plays! The song part of the timer broke along with the dial, it seems.
Don't waste your money on this timer. I would suggest just getting another timer that is more sturdy. This is a cheaply made piece of junk.
One more additional bit of info - if your child tends to like to play with this type of thing, you will have to keep it out of his/her hands if you don't want it to totally fall apart. The fragile small springs all over it are very easily broken and stretched, and it is very easy for the whole timer to just sort of fall apart into pieces if it is not handled carefully. Again, not a very good thing to be using with toddlers!!

This adorable boy is also unique timer. He will let you know when, time-out is over by moving it's head and humming a samba tune. Your child will be doing the, happy dance along with the timer when the time is up.

Progressive International Little Timer Review

Progressive International Little Timer
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.

I had this timer, but returned it after a short time.
It's nice that its digital and it's true that it has a solid, heavy base - but it takes too much time to set. the timer includes hours, minutes, and seconds. There is no "enter" button, so you have to wait for each time increment to pass before setting the next one. Since I usually only use minutes and am sometimes in a hurry when setting the timer, this timer was just not convenient to use.

Aqualight Power Center - Digital Review

Aqualight Power Center - Digital
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
All-in-all a wonderful unit and easy to program. Two pairs of outlets connected to separate timers and four continuously powered outlets. I use one daytime plug for my metal halide bulb and the other for a circulation powerhead. The nighttime plugs are set up for my moonlight LEDs and another, lower-flow powerhead. You can use the remaining four outlets for normal maintenance equipment(i.e. chiller unit, heater, air pump, UV filter, etc).
The only negative aspect of this unit (as well as many others) is the plug spacing when using transformer plugs (LEDs). I would have gladly given up a bit of space in my cabinet for two timed outlets spaced farther apart.

This is the ultimate timer/power strip for creating perfect day-night cycles for your aquatic life. Featuring 8 outlets, 4 constant and 4 alternating timer-controlled, you can set this unit to turn your lighting systems on or off seven times per day, and on different days of the week. The 4 timer-controlled outlets are divided into 2 daytime, and 2 nighttime, making the transition between lighting cycles simpler and easier to manage.

Swylite LST100+-I Single Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Ivory Review

Swylite LST100+-I Single Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Ivory
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased and installed this Swylite Digital Wall Switch last November 2005 to control two outdoor patio lights with compact fluorescent lights (CFL). I also own an Intermatic 7 Day Wall Switch Timer that sells on Amazon for $5 more (the Intermatic switch is a poor product that broke and I don't recommend it.) I'm very satified with the operation and performance of this switch with no problems to report.
(NOTE: One of the reviewers posting on the Intermatic switch incorrectly stated "Electronic switch models cannot turn on CFL but only handle incadescent lamp." This Swylite switch is an electronic switch and handles CFL type lights just fine.)
Pros
1. Easy to program
2. Clear easy to read display (unlike the Intermatic switch)
3. Flush, low profile face (unlike the protruding Intermatic face)
4. No batteries needed (as required by the Intermatic switch)
5. Power outage memory (similar to the Intermatic switch unless the battery in the Intermatic switch dies)
6. Manual "on" switch is easily accessible and use (similar to the Intermatic switch)
7. Solid state design (unlike the Intermatic switch that has a small solenoid and gears to operate reducing reliability, durability, and increasing complexity)
8. Has programmed on/off, random on/off, manual on/off capability (similar to Intermatic)
Cons
1. Somewhat bulky installation, i.e., wire harness protrudes out from the side toward the rear of the unit making installation a little tougher than it should be. (similar to Intermatic switch)
2. Manual "On" Switch could have a little more solid feel, i.e., it has a slightly lightweight feel and doesn't have a crisp click when activated. However, the manual switch has been reliable. (Intermatic intelligently uses the front cover as a manual switch and works well when/if it works at all.)
Bottomline: I would buy this Swylite product again if I need a timer switch.

I bought this timer hoping that it would be reliable, loud, and well built like the other Polder timer that beeps, vibrates, and blinks. The build quality on this is flimsy and the beeping alarm is not loud at all. Avoid this one and buy the other Polder model sold on Amazon.com. Search for "Polder 212-00"...that is an excellent, reliable, and lower cost alternative to this one.

Didn't want a mechanical timer that sounds like it will fail at anytime and didn't want a digital timer with just a numerical countdown that may not be meaningful to my toddler. This seemed like a good compromise. When my daughter wants to play for 5 more minutes, I just have the set the timer. The contrast of the display is not the best so you need good light to see it, but it does have a light that turns on for a few seconds.

3 In 1 Sand Timer by Danesco Review

3 In 1 Sand Timer by Danesco
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this timer because it had three sand glasses with different time intervals (3, 4, and 5 minute) and as they were multicolored, it was also visually appealing. It is well constructed with the metal parts appearing to be stainless steel. Unfortunately, two of the glasses have a habit of clogging and if the sand stops flowing before all of it has gone through it's not very effective when cooking eggs. I'd like to return it but with the supplier located in Canada, is it worth the trouble? If I wasn't retired I'd probably have it on my desk at work to act as a conversation starter.

CDN TR3 Digital Timer on a "Rope" Review

CDN TR3 Digital Timer on a Rope
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This timer is cute and lightweight (too light!) and mine did work, but it has TWO major design flaws which make it completely useless.
First of all, look at the picture. See that big circle under the LCD screen? That's the START/STOP button. It's HUGE and VERY sensitive, which means if you wear it around your neck, any time you lean over or bump anything the timer will start or stop! At times I accidentally brushed against it LIGHTLY with my arm and it stopped. How much can you trust a timer that starts and stops on its own?! What good is it?
Now, since it has a clip on the back, you could clip it onto your clothing, except for the SECOND design flaw. The clip is upside-down! If you clip it on yourself, the timer is right-side-up for the rest of the world, but when you try to look at it, it's upside-down. (Get my drift? Think of those clip-on watches...)
I'd also like to comment on the Amazon reviewer's claim that the timer is loud enough to be heard in a gym. It would have to be a mighty quiet gym....
All in all, you'd do better to shop elsewhere for your timer. In fact, after trying different ones, I would suggest buying it locally where you can really see what you're getting--and where you won't have to pay for return shipping.
