Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cook-Rite 60-Minute Quartz Timer, White
Customer Review: Works well, with a couple of caveats
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this for a couple of months and I like it.
Pros:
1) Accuracy: Mine seems fine. I've compared it (at 10 and 45 minute intervals) with a digital timer and it's been very close.
2) I like the fact that the buzzer/alarm starts off quietly and gets louder.
Cons:
1) It seems far more delicate than most 60 minute timers.
2) While the alarm gets louder and more insistent the longer it takes you to turn it off, it never gets anywhere near as loud as most mechanical timers and it's easier to miss if the environment is noisy.
3) This is minor, but I'd like it if the blinking red LED were a bit easier to see.
Customer Review: great, loud time
Summary: 4 Stars
our new oven is excellent, but its double timer is awful. one understated ding! and that's all the notice you get before your bread burns or stew scorches. we bought two of these excellent little timers. it's LOUD and gets gradually LOUDER. we can hear it from outdoors. very useful when you have things on the stove and a busy life. shortcomings (and why i gave it only four stars): no magnet so it takes up valuable counter space. feels a bit cheap. the design, while quite functional, is a bit odd: it's "fake" analogue--you turn the dial to the desired time, and instead of ticking or any other indication that it's working, there's a small red led light. finally, it's only a 60 minute timer.Customer Review: Simple device, works well
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a simple, feather-touch dial cooking timer with an electronic timing & alarm element.
It is powered by a common AA battery.
Just got it;Used it several times;Works darn well!
Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is question of durability.
It's kinda' lightweight. I wouldn't want to drop it hard.
But if not mistreated, will hopefully last awhile.
A heavier-duty, more-lasting, *metal* version of this timer would be ideal.
But I like it so far.
Customer Review: Good, but not really precise
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good timer; very easy to set. However, you can't really set the dial precisely. It is a little loose and cannot be put exactly on a number, if that makes any sense. If you want a rough gauge in minutes, though, it will work fine.
UPDATE 05/30/08: Stopped working and I have no idea why. I only used it about six times. The batteries are still good, but the timer is dead as a doornail. I trashed it. Consider my rating down to one star. I suggest getting a digital timer instead of this one.

Sunbeam, 91030-2, Quartz 60 Minute White Timer, White
The face of this timer has large, easy to read numbers. The alarm is loud enough to be attention getting but not obnoxious. This product is lightweight and easy to transport. The battery is only used when the timer is in operation, thus saving the life of the battery.
I would reccomend this timer.
