Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam, 91640, 99 Minute, 59 Second Digital Count up/Count Down Timer, White/Grey
Customer Review: Maybe the worst designed product I've seen.
Summary: 1 Stars
You'd think that by 2009 they would have pretty much figured out how to make a simple kitchen timer. Sunbeam has amazed us all with this ill-conceived design. Some highlights:
* In order to set the time for 30 seconds you have to hit the keys 0-0-3-0, not 3-0 like EVERY other timer out there. Why they decided to make such an unintuitive UI choice is beyond me.
* The magnet on this timer is narrow and sticks out about 1/2 an inch from the back, turning the entire unit into a see-saw that sits on your fridge. When you push the start button, it sends the timer plummeting to the ground.
It's almost worth buying just for the novelty of having such a poorly designed product!
Customer Review: Minute Timer
Summary: 4 Stars
Great minute timer. Counts down and up and is very useful for cooking, timing exercise routines, etc. I recommend this product a a reliable minute timer. I have several and only have had a problem with one disfunctioning.Customer Review: Needs An On/Off Button
Summary: 2 Stars
When I received the timer, I read the instructions and put it use. Simple to use and counts up or down. The buttons are easy to use and the display is big and easy to read. When I was done, I proceeded to try and turn off the timer. I thought I was missing something. There is no on/off button so I have to take the battery out or the timer stays on constantly. I can't believe they would design a timer without a way to turn it off. I should have read the other reviews more carefully, others have complained of the same thing. I am very disappointed with my purchase and would not purchase again. Make sure the timer that you buy has an on/off button and save yourself batteries and hassle.
I also wanted to mention that this timer only has a 99 minute timer which is not long enough if you plan on using it when cooking something like a roast, turkey or ham.

I bought 2 of these from Walmart and they were perfect. But the one I bought from Amazon had defective screen (hard to read) but I didn't returned it.
