Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor 5820R Digital Timer, Red
Customer Review: Good concept; disappointing functionality; poor durability
Summary: 2 Stars
As an owner of two Taylor timers, I would rank the timer as sub-par. The layout is intuitive, but there are disappointing shortcomings.
The pluses:
- Readout and keys are easily readable
- 10 digit timers are quicker to set than those with merely hour/minute buttons
The overwhelming minuses:
- Battery life is poor. Uses 2 expensive AG13 batteries (expect to pay $4-8 for replacements!)
- You must own a miniature screwdriver to remove battery cover
- Magnets are too small. If you try to operate the timer on a refrigerator, the timer will fall off
- You must repeatedly press buttons to get them to work. Even if you hold timer with 1 hand and press each button in the center, you will still have problems.
I had two of these fail after light usage. This timer has an appealing form factor, but its flaws are significant and durability is poor.
Better Option: For those wanting the advantages of a sturdy 10 digit timer, I finally found a one I can recommend: The Extra Big and Loud Water Resistant Timer by ThermoWorks. This timer works great and even has adjustable volume.
Description of Taylor 5820R Digital Timer, Red
Now available in fun, bright colors. See all the colors- in green, orange, red, and blue. Easy to use with 10 numbered buttons, no need to press an up-inch or down-inch arrow to program the time, which saves a lot of time. Also can be used one handed, similar to a digital phone, which is especially nice when hands are messy from cooking or baking. A large 1.0-inch readout is easy to read, and a nice stainless steel front adds to the overall look. Clip or stand positioning. Operates on two long life lithium batteries, included.Timers
