Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cook-Rite 60-Minute Quartz Timer, White
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this excellent product. It has a flashing red light to show that it is working (very tiny, but very helpful). It rings well for one minute when time is up; this is a very helpful feature.Customer Review: Extremely Cheap & Unreliable!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have trouble waking from naps, so I ordered four of these things to help train me take 20-minute naps.
Nice things about them:
1. No ticking noise (because it's digital)
2. Long, graduated alarm notification
It combines the ease-of-setting of an analog "spring timer", without some of the disadvantages that don't affect people actually using them in the kitchen.
The problem is these things are extremely cheap and unreliable! I ordered four of them, set every one of them, and only two counted out time and went off. The other two consistently simply didn't work. The two that work seem to work reliably, but I'm not certain: there was an incident in which one of them may have failed to "unwind" as well.
Customer Review: Failed After 3 Months
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this timer was really great until it failed after three months of use. It was delivered about Feb. 1, 2010. We used it regularly, about once a day on average, and it was great in that it was easy to use and provided a loud, sustained alarm. Unfortunately, it just stopped working completely on April 30, 2010. I'm going to send it for warranty replacement (which, by the way, costs almost as much as buying a new one, as you have to pay postage both ways). I'll supplement this review once that process is complete.Customer Review: GREAT AND EASY TO USE
Summary: 5 Stars
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 88 YR OLD MOTHER. HER OVEN TIMER WASN'T LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR FROM HER LARGE FRONT ROOM. THIS WAY SHE CAN CARRY IT WITH HER ,WHEREVER SHE IS. SHE HAS MACULAR DGENERATION AND THE NUMBERS ARE VERY EASY FOR HER TO SEE. WHEREAS THE OVEN TIMER IS DIGITAL AND OFTEN NOT AS EASY TO READ.Customer Review: Good Idea, poor execution, alarm not loud enough
Summary: 2 Stars
Everything works as it should, except the alarm is very soft and can not be heard over a moderate conversation. Thus, this thing is worthless in most kitchens with a moderate amount of noise.
They should have made the alarm louder, and preferably with a volume control, if it was nothing more than some sort of door to slide over the alarm sound outlet window.
