Customer Review: Review of Sunbeam Digital Timer
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked my timer so well that I called Sunbeam and several others and finally learned I could purchase another on Amazon. I gave these to my two hairdressers for their use at the beauty salon and they love them. Also kept a brand new one for myself!Customer Review: Satisfied..
Summary: 4 Stars
..but not ecstatic with the purchase. On the plus side, it works well - counts down and also up, which turned out to be a bonus for me. It has a magnet/clip/stand at the back, which makes it easy to use it wherever.
On the flip side, there's now way to turn it off and looks all plastic-y!

Save your money. Too complicated to use. I much prefer the Taylor kitchen timer for kitchen use. The numbers on this unit are smaller and the functions are difficlt as it takes too many touches to set and use. The Talor has a nice stand and magnetic backing which is nicer too. This unit was a dissapointment and prompted me to purchase another Taylor 10 key.Customer Review: Sunbeam Kitchen Timer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sunbeam kitchen timer is an exceptional value and seems perfectly serviceable. At about $7 (ours were $5 after a special) you can buy 2 or 3 for what one might cost of another brand (I've never figured out why kitchen timers cost $15-$20!).
Several people commented on the volume, some feeling it was too loud. Well, it isn't really "loud," it's more the nature of the "beep." It is quite pronounced in the high frequencies and a little grating, probably more so if your hearing is good (high frequencies). Having said that, the volume itself seems appropriate.
If the beep annoys you, you REALLY won't like that the minutes and seconds are always entered as four digits beginning from the left, and each press of a button is accompanied by a beep -- Note this is different than most timers that start from the right. In other words, to enter 10 minutes you must enter 0-0-1-0, rather then 1-0.
And the buttons, as some have commmented, are a little small. Not a problem, just not "fun" to use. They work fine.
Also as some have said, the timers feel a little light (or maybe not balanced?) and are a little thicker than some. Not dramatically so and it doesn't bother us, especially at the price.
The timer does have a "recall" (press stop just once to reset the starting time), uses standard AAA batteries, has a decent sized display and, of course, has direct entry (instead of holding down minute and second buttons). All-in-all, a good value.

This was given as a gift. Wonderful way to keep on your person while doing chores around the house to remind you when "time's up". The timer is small, can be put in your pocket or better yet, tie a cord around it and hang it around your neck.
