Amazon.com Review
The great thing about this timer is not only that it’s easy to set, but that the directions for use are printed right on the back in case you forget how. While the timer uses digital technology and an LED display in hours, minutes, and seconds, its unique setting wheel removes some of digital technology’s frustration. Simply giving the polished metal wheel a turn or pushing either of the two buttons will activate the timer and readies it for setting. First, the hour space flashes; when turned clockwise, the wheel scrolls up through numbers one through nine, and easily let you backtrack to the number you want by turning the wheel counterclockwise. Next, the minutes place flashes and again the wheel turns quickly from one through 59; same with the seconds. Pushing the start button begins the countdown. Convenient features include pause, last-setting recall, and a pleasant yet firm beep. The oval base of the slanted timer measures 4 by 3-3/4 inches, while the durable plastic face measures 2-3/4 inches across. One D battery is required. KitchenAid covers the timer with a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Love this timer!!
In spite of the negative reviews this timer really is great if you know how to use it. The D cell battery lasts forever as long as the screen goes blank after you are done using it. Simply re-activate it and then cancel it and screen goes into sleep mode.

It's very easy to read, very functional, and looks good on any counter...

Digital Timer
We were aprehensive about purchasing this timer after reading some of the reviews. We're glad we purchased it. The quality and ease of use is great. We highly recommend this timer.

For me it's GREAT!
I read many of the negative reviews and almost didn't buy the timer - but I am so glad I did!
I use it almost exclusively to make tea in the morning and I use the same time setting day after day. It's so simple: now that I've set and used the timer once, I just touch the left button (STOP/reset) - this wakes up the blank screen. Then I hold the right button (START/pause) for about 3-5 seconds until my previously used time is shown. Then I touch START/pause again and the timing starts.
I can understand that this may not be the best timer for someone who needs to set several different times per use -but for someone like me who mainly uses it for the same amount of time every day, it's perfect: solid, attractive, the beep is plenty loud, and it's real easy to use.
