Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cook-Rite 60-Minute Quartz Timer, White
Customer Review: Good for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I set a timer when I water the yard or add water to the pool. This timer keeps beeping until I pick it up. A single ding timer ofter was not heard or forgotten. This one saves me water.Customer Review: Good, but not really precise
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good timer; very easy to set. However, you can't really set the dial precisely. It is a little loose and cannot be put exactly on a number, if that makes any sense. If you want a rough gauge in minutes, though, it will work fine.
UPDATE 05/30/08: Stopped working and I have no idea why. I only used it about six times. The batteries are still good, but the timer is dead as a doornail. I trashed it. Consider my rating down to one star. I suggest getting a digital timer instead of this one.
Customer Review: Great, Accurate Timer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this timer for over a year and find it is the one I count on the most. It is easy to set. One has to get used to the fact that there is little tension when turning the dial, but I have no problem with getting it to the minute I want and having it stay there. That said, I can see that someone with a hand tremor might find it more difficult to set accurately than a mechanical timer. It is silent as it counts down, with a light at the bottom corner flashing. The ring is loud and about 90 seconds long. That was very important to me. I use it frequently, and have yet to change the battery. I would definitely recommend this timer and will buy another when I need to replace one of my others.

Still have not had to change the battery and use it every day. I have purchased a second one and am as happy with it as I was with the first.
Customer Review: HORRIBLE 1 Stars
First, unless I have a 'mind block', no where in the description does it say that this timer runs by a AA battery. I have had other timers over the years, but none with a battery, so I didn't even think that this was an option. Received the item quickly, but the one it came with was dead. Luckily, I had a stash downstairs, so I put a battery in to see how it worked. Then it dawned on me: I am buying this for my daughter who just moved into her first apartment, and I am concerned that she might put something on the stove and forget. This timer was to be a reminder. BUT WHAT IF SHE FORGETS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE BATTERY AND FORGETS TO REPLACE IT?? So, this style of timer defeats the whole purpose of why I wanted it in the first place. I normally use my timer as a reminder while I am cooking, but I happen to have one built into my stove. She does not, and this would be the only reminder she would have if she decided to put something in the stove and needed to know when to take it out. Or for my daughter, who is just starting to learn to cook, WHETHER TO TAKE IT OUT AT ALL!!! Not good. I am returning it for a timer that runs on its own.Customer Review: Help with School Work
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to help my son conceptualize time with his homework. It takes AA battery and does not tick, thought it does have a light that blips with the seconds. At the end of the time it beeps slowly, increases volume, then faster, louder, and faster yet to let you know you've gone beyond your allotted time. I'm really happy with the purchase. I will give it a fifth star when I see how long it lasts.
