Polder Timer with Vibrating Alarm - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Simply put, this is the best, simple timer with a vibrate and light function, added. I don't know why they discontinued it. It tends to eat the battery a bit when you set all functions to go off at once, but then it comes back when you just put one on... I didn't consider it a problem at all, as I use it for meditation, and didn't need a super loud beeping. Love it. Bring it back.

Kitrics Keypad Timer/Clock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace my broken manual wind-up timer.I was obsessively looking for another good mechanical one, but couldn't find a durable one that doesn't look like some sort of whimsical fruit.After comparing it to everything else out there, I'm glad I bought this one.Here's why:

- It's one of the few timer models with a full number pad.Coming from a wind-up model, I didn't want to stand there repeatedly pushing cheap minutes/seconds keys with ingredient-soaked fingers.

- You can operate this timer with ONE finger, WHILE it's on the refrigerator door.The magnet is large (for the unit's size), is centrally located, and there are little tabs at each corner stabilizing the unit against the fridge surface.I don't know who designs other digital timers, but most seem to have their (usually weak) magnets perched on top of some kind of pedestal.Push a keypad button while it's on it's magnet, and the whole thing teeters off.You'd think this would be the first thing taught at the timer design school. . .

- I don't want to spend too much on a kitchen timer.Some of the others cost twice as much as this one.For the same great "Made-In-China" quality. . .

- It uses ONE watch-type battery, changeable with a coin, unlike the Taylor 10-key (the closest similar model to this one).Other highlights:

- It's also a simple clock.And that's, delightfully, the only other function this device has.

- Using it as a timer, it shuts off automatically after not using it awhile (but still remembers your last time setting when you "wake" it.Very Smart.).

- There's a fold-out hook, in case you want to nail it to the wall.What I don't like about it:

- This timer is small.Tiny, even.I wish I could read it from across the room, but I can't.

- When it goes off, it's only about as loud as a travel clock, and sounds just like one.Not quite as satisfying an alarm as a wind-up bell, although it's loud enough to be annoying.And no, this one doesn't tick. . .

- There's no folding support, so it's not designed for free-standing.The base is flat, though, so you can actually stand it up nervously on a flat surface.Until, say, a toddler strolls in and bumps the table. . .I'm always going to miss the sturdy mechanical kitchen timers that we all grew up with.The Lux one with the little rocket-ship dial that I could actually see while sitting in my breakfast nook (NOT the cheap, incredibly unreliable knock-off versions of it available today).I'd trade digital accuracy for one of those old ones, any day.Unfortunately, no one can make 'em like they used to at this price anymore.

Polder 890-90 Single Kitchen Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this as a holiday gift for my mom to replace her aging Polder.It was defective right out of the package.The battery would not touch the contacts in the battery compartment.Tried other batteries but no joy.Put in a shim to fill the gap between the tip of the battery and the contact and it worked but then the door would not go back on.When it worked it showed me that it only counts down and stops.The old (>10 year) Polder would count down, ring, and start counting back up so that if you missed the alarm you would know how long ago it had rung.This unit does not have this simple and valuable feature.Also, this unit has flimbsy covers over the button holes that are used in the two timer version.One of these flimbsy covers fell off my brand new unit as it was removed from the package.The warranty is for one year but requires you to pay shipping to and from Poldner, which is about equal to the cost of a new unit.Polder customer service was worthless.I replaced it with a $6.18 Taylor time purchased from Target that worked as expected making it both better and less expensive.The Polder is a complete disapointment and waste of money.

Polder TMR-540 Opus Digital Triple Timer with Clock, Stainless Steel and Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've decided to keep it, because it has three timers, it is very pretty, and I love the display of the dots around the outer ring to mark the seconds (much easier to read than the usual rapid numerical countdown of seconds).However, setting the timer is really not very convienient (note- I am tech-savvy, so this is not a problem on the user-end).You have to hold the timer button down for two seconds to be able to change the timer setting (similar to accessing the time-change function on a watch) at which point it emits a VERY loud beep, louder than the actual timer alarm.This seems odd to me, since you probably won't be next to it when the alarm goes off, but you have to be when you have your hands on it to set it.Anyhow, if at this point you accidentally hit the timer button again before setting the hours/minutes/seconds for the timer, you will enter count-up mode, and if the unit is counting up, it doesn't allow you to set the timer, or clear the settings.If this happens, you have to hit the timer button again to pause the count-up mode, at which point it will allow you to enter the timer change mode again (via the two-second timer button press with the loud beep).Personally, I think it would be nice if it would automatically clear the last timer setting when you enter the timer change mode- as it is, once you are in change mode you need to manually press and hold the hour and minute buttons down together to clear the last timer setting, then you can start fresh from zero.If this sounds confusing and/or frustrating, this may not be the timer you are looking for.Frankly, I'm not sure it was the timer I'm looking for either... but I think I'll make it work.

CDN TM8 Digital Timer and Clock Memory Feature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The things I really like about this timer:

When the timer counts down to zero, the alarm beeps continuoulsy for a minute.Also, a little indicator will come on saying "Time's Up", and the counter start to count up.Also, the time will blink - so if you are using multiple timers in a noisy environment, you can see which timer has expired.

The magnetic clip uses a real magnet that holds more securely than other timer's I've tried.Also, there is a piece of wire that easily flips down to convert the timer into a free standing counter-top unit.

The LCD segments are nice and fat, and has pretty decent contrast.Much easier to read than cheaper counters.

You can assign the count-down duration to a memory button, so that if you're always using the same duration, it only takes two presses to reload the timer duration.The timer is utilitarian -- it's not much to look at -- but it sure works well!

Polder 898-95 Clock, Timer and Stopwatch, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like this timer. Its very easy to setup and has a nice big display, counts up and down. I have two gripes about it though. 1. you cannot turn the alarm off which can be irritating in some situations. Also the alarm does no shut off automatically after a given time, it just keeps going and going which is not always desired 2. The other thing is that the buttons are very exposed and have no cover so they can be easily depressed accidentally. If you want to run or walk with this in your pocket, forget it. For a kitchen of task timer in the house its perfect.
