Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cook-Rite 60-Minute Quartz Timer, White
Customer Review: I Can't Believe It
Summary: 1 Stars
We landed men on the moon in 1969. That was 41 years ago. And back then kitchen timers lasted years and years. This one, however, didn't even last two weeks. Our kitchen isn't a commercial kitchen, and in the nine days we had this timer, we probably used it less than 15 times. And it's broken now. Why in the world can't I find a decent kitchen timer that will last for a few years? It's very sad. If this piece of trash was made here in the U.S., then I fear for our future.Customer Review: I can HEAR it! awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
LOVE this timer! It starts out with a low sound and increases if you don't respond at first.... it gets louder and the tone changes, too. I love it! I use it to tell me when the dryer is finished and it always gets my attention!Customer Review: I got a turkey!
Summary: 1 Stars
I really was looking forward to getting this timer for several reasons. The ticking of a regular timer bothers us because we apparently have some kind of hyper-sensitive hearing. This seemed like the solution to problems because if we have bread rising or something needing attention in the kitchen we could take the gizmo with us and not be bothered by the clicking. The timer worked once. The next time it stopped functioning and we learned about the problem when smoke was coming out of the oven. A timer is no good if it isn't accurate.
The other thing is (and this has nothing to do with this critique about the timer). I wish Amazon would indicate where products are made. We have been trying to avoid anything made overseas and almost everything we order on Amazon comes from China. I don't want to buy from China.
Customer Review: It doesn't time at all
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this more than a year ago and it still sits on the counter, mocking me. The timer, from day-one, used to stop mid-count. Some investigation revealed that the timer always stopped at 18 minutes to zero. I opened it and cleaned and straightened the contacts and it started working, till after a few days it again stopped at the same place. More cleaning, and it worked that way for a few months. Then, it also started stopping at 8 minutes. I've given-up trying to fix it, and it's destined for the thrash can. If I open it one more time, the plastics are going to crack and it's all going to fall apart.Customer Review: Loud ring? Not hardly...
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this timer because it was described as having a "loud ring," and I need a timer that I can hear from 30 feet away.
I'd like to meet the person for whom this timer is "loud." I can hear it in the same room, but not from the room down the hall.
I wish rings would be described in decibels. Meanwhile, I guess I'll keep looking, but now for a timer with a "deafening ring."
Otherwise, it works as advertised.
