Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Large Number Mechanical Timer
Customer Review: Piece of Junk...
Summary: 2 Stars
Read the description carefully--it's a MECHANICAL timer. The alarm is armed with the spring-loaded dial. So the length is determined by the amount of winding you put to the dial--not very accurate and the alarm bell lasts only as much as you wind the dial--its sound is very harsh and gradually dies down as the spring winds down.
I suppose this alarm could be good for the elderly because of its large numbers on the face and the dial...
Customer Review: Taylor Timer
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this timer would be good but I only have had it since Dec.
and it will not work. You put it on a certain time and it stops
working. I will not buy this product again. I paid more for the
shipping than the product was worth.
Customer Review: Ok - not that accurate not that durable
Summary: 2 Stars
Title says it all - you can do better. Not very accurate and eventually brokeCustomer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this timer for a while now and always had to nurse it along to get it to work by rapping it on its side after I set it. Also, always make sure to turn past 30 when setting it (winds up the internal spring).
Well, I got tired of this procedure which worked if I was lucky about 50% of the time. It finally got tired itself and stopped working almost all the time now. It really is a piece of junk as many reviewers have stated here and has been relegated to the garbage bin. I don't know why I stayed with it so long. Save yourself the trouble and spring for a digital unit even if it's not as nostalgic.
Customer Review: Useless!!
Summary: 1 Stars
When I opened the box and picked up the timer's package, the timer fell out! The package was already open! I don't know if Amazon just shipped me someone's reject or if the glue holding the package together just gave way. I wound up the timer for a couple of minutes, and as expected it tick-tick-ticked down in that classic old timer way. However, when it reached zero.. nothing happened. I turned it up again and tick-tick-tick ... nothing. No ring! Based on all the other 1-star reviews, I won't even bother exchanging this. I'm just going to get my money back.
