 Looks great...... December 29, 2007
This timer looks great and that is where it stops (literally). The one I received, stops (on either side) well before the time is up, I need to use a back-up timer! I paid too much money for a timer that is NOT reliable. Perhaps mine is defective, but I would not recommend this product.

I bought this timer because it looked nice and retro, plus I thought the two timers would come in handy for cooking two things at the same time. And that feature would have been great if the timer had worked--at all. You have to "wind up" the timer before setting it, and even then the ring was so weak is would be ineffective. Both timers, I felt, had weak rings and if a lot was going on at your house around dinner time, it would be easy to miss them both. I'd stay away from this one and buy a good, reliable old OXO or kitchen aid for a decent timer. This one looked cute, but worked poorly.
attractive-looking piece of junk! January 25, 2005

I was drawn to this timer because of it's somewhat retro, stylistic look. Unfortunately, only one of the timers on it worked. After reading ratings in Cook's Illustrated, I have decided to go with a digital readout thermometer which they recommend. Save your money and get a digital timer!

This is a cute little timer with a creative gimmick. One dial counts to 60 minutes; the other dial counts up to 20 minutes in 15 second intervals, making it perfect for those shorter kitchen tasks. The knobs are rubberized and the timer itself has a non-skid base. You must wind the knob all the way around (one full revolution) in order to set the timer. This gadget also comes in neat colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and nickel.
Sounds good so far, and I thought so too, until I actually got my hands on one. The 60-minute timer will ring a full minute BEFORE the set time, while the 20-minute timer will ring 30 seconds BEFORE the set time. Both timers will NOT RING AGAIN after the first ring. I don't know about other people, but I prefer my timers to go off at a pre-set time, not a minute or several seconds later. So if my cookies need to come out of the oven in 10 minutes, I set the timer for 11 minutes instead. I find that inconvenient.
Also, I don't know if I got a defective unit, but I have to wind up the 60-minute timer TWICE and let it ring, before it starts to tick. The 20-minute timer needs just a once-around.
Lastly, if you are in any way absent-minded, you might want to consider just getting those old-fashioned single timers instead of this one. With two timers going at the same time, I found that I sometimes forget which timer was timing which task. However, if none of the above comments fazes you, then this timer might be worth it.
