Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 10-Key Style Timer
Customer Review: Replacement batteries are too expensive
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this timer and the Sunbeam 91640 timer in January, 2008. Out of the box, they're both decent little machines. Unfortunately, when the Taylor needed new batteries, it required two button cell G13-A batteries. At my local drug store, they were ~$4 each, which is the price of a new Taylor timer. The Sunbeam, however, uses one AAA battery which is far less expensive and extremely easy to find.
Otherwise, I like the Taylor's big buttons much better than the Sunbeam's. But the Sunbeam's LCD has better contrast and is a much better size than the Taylor's (i.e., the Sunbeam's display is much easier to read the the Taylor's).
As for people having problems trying to enter numbers while any one of these timers is on a refrigerator: PUHLEEZE! Don't be inane! These timers are designed to be held in one hand while punching in the numbers with a finger of the OTHER hand. The magnet is there ONLY to keep the timer conveniently located--such as on a refrigerator. There's no "design flaw."
Here's an easy way to use one of these timers--if you have two working hands and at least one working finger on at least one of those hands, it's really not that hard to do: 1) Remove the timer from the refrigerator; 2) Place the timer in one hand and use a finger from the OTHER hand to depress the appropriate number buttons and then the Start button; 3) Either put the timer back on the refigerator or bring it with you if you wouldn't otherwise be able to hear it when it beeps; 4) When it beeps, pick it up with one hand while depressing the Stop button with a finger from the OTHER hand; 5) If you don't need to use the timer again right away, put it in a conspicuous place where you'll be able to find it again the next time you need it. Say, since these timers have magnets on the back, you could stick them on a refigerator! Wouldn't that be convenient?!!
Description of Taylor 10-Key Style Timer
About the size of and similar to the style of a pocket calculator, this kitchen timer is easy for cooks with arthritic or shaky hands to set. Like a calculator, the timer has 10 keys--one for each numeral--that are large enough to easily program in timer settings with one hand. The timer counts up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds so it is equally as useful for timing quick cooking tasks, such as hard-boiling eggs, as it is for timing longer, slow-cooking meals, such as braised meats. The digital display is 1.2 inches high so readouts are large and easy to see. A clear/stop button pauses the countdown midway through and also stops the alarm from beeping once the set time has elapsed. The timer also has a start button to begin countdowns and resume them after pausing. This 10-key timer is magnetized to stick to a refrigerator or stove and also has a stand for mounting on a countertop. It measures 4-1/2 by 2 inches and runs on a single long-life battery (included). Taylor ensures complete accuracy in its readings through a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina VaamondeTimers
