Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam, 91640, 99 Minute, 59 Second Digital Count up/Count Down Timer, White/Grey
Customer Review: Reasonable price---does what it should
Summary: 3 Stars
I noticed some of the reviewers of this item said they would have liked a Power switch. One even went so far as removing the battery. I have a similar item which has lasted over ten years with the original battery---never turned off. So the lack of a power switch is not a problem.
My only suggestion is a STOP switch on the top of the unit so you could simply hit it without pushing a button....something like a SNOOZE function on a clock.
Customer Review: Magnet Falls Off
Summary: 3 Stars
After about 4 months of use, the glue which holds the magnet in place has stopped working and the magnet keeps falling off the timer thus I can't stick it on the refrigerator.
I actually prefer the West Bend Timer, but it seems to be twice the price.
Customer Review: Peforms v well, user friendly, loud, big display, but quite large
Summary: 3 Stars
which makes it impossible to clip onto clothing-and clip is useless
5 star if you dont need this function
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.
Customer Review: Sunbeam 91640 Timer
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
