Customer Reviews

Very disappointing!!
I read in Cook's Illustrated magazine that this timer was *the* timer to buy, but I am very disappointed in the product. I gave it two stars instead of one because the dual-timer function is great...but other than that, I don't have anything else positive to say about it.

The biggest detractor is that the alarm is VERY quiet...so if you're more than a few feet away from it, you'll likely not hear it go off. You can wear it on your waistband, but who wants to do that?

I'm likely to throw it out and replace it with something else. Don't buy this product!

Polder 893-90 Kitchen Timer
While the timer is a lot easier to use than most( west bend, chefs, for example), the alarm is too quiet. When my exhaust fan is on, I can't hear the timer. It's barely audible when the room is quiet and you sure won't hear it if you are in the next room.

Poorly Constructed, Not Recommended
I bought this timer based on the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen testing lab. The timer works as advertised but the audible alarm is not very robust, you cannot hear it from another room. Control of all of the various functions is somewhat confusing, certainly non-intuitive.

Worse, the magnetic strip on the back of the timer is affixed to the plastic body with double-sided tape that will fail in very short order, allowing the magnet to separate from the body. My first timer fell off the front of my fridge onto a hard tile floor, shattering the case and destroying the timer. Amazon replaced that at no charge. A second timer did exactly the same thing after about a week's use, although this time I expected it and it only fell to the countertop.

Instead of the dual timer, I do recommend the Polder 898 Clock, Timer and Stopwatch, available in Black or White, $15.00. It is very loud, comes with a laynard so you can hang it around your neck, and is simple to use.
