Customer Reviews of Amco Double Digital Timer
Customer Rating:   Summary: Almost a five Comment: The operation of this timer is very simple. I also like the different beeps, making a distinction between the two timers. The only reason I didn't give this a five, there is a clip on the back which allows you to set it on a counter and once you close the clip, there is a magnet which allows you to hang on a metal object. The clip is rather small in comparison to the size of the timer and if it's left hanging on the refrigerator in our case, once you begin to push the buttons, the timer rocks since the buttons are to each side of the clip, that's located on the backside. This may not make much sense, but I would buy another timer and I'll figure out a way to balance out the back to avoid the rocking while pressing buttons. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Kitchen Timer On The Web! Comment: This timer gathers together the best of all timers I've ever used. PRO's !. It's sturdy, well constructed 2. It's ring is loud enough for me to hear in in all the rooms of my one bedroom condo. The first time it rang, I thought it was my smoke detector going off. The reviewer who said it wasn't loud enough most likely has a larger house. I have carried it with me when I have done things like taking out the trash. 3. You can set one side for a time you use often, like the 5 minutes for my tea, and when you turn it off, it automatically resets itself for 5 minutes. 4. It makes a great travel alarm. 5. It has a very strong magnet 6. It's very intuitive to use. I have yet to read the instructions. 7. It uses an AAA battery, No more having to try to match the battery. 8. It seems to have an unlimited ability to set very precise times. I've never had a timer that had seconds before. 9. It's very worth the extra money. I've found the timer that meets my needs. 10 It was shipped in a reasonable time. CON's The only thing I wish was different was that the stainless steel color looks out of place in my purple and white kitchen. I wish it came in white, but this is a very minor issue. Buy it, I love it, and so may you. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice Timer Comment: Well made, well designed timer. It replaced a timer that had two timers which used the same display. This one is much easier to use with separate displays for each timer. The times are very easy to set or reset. I especially like that the timer will set itself to the original time after it counts down - then just a punch of one button to have it count down again ( great feature for pancakes, grilled sandwiches, etc. ). The magnet is very strong - I keep it on my range hood. The signal is a little bit "weak", but not bad enough to affect my rating. I like that it uses a AAA battery. My last timer used one of the little hearing-aid like batteries - hard to find a replacement. Though it's mentioned in the item description, be sure to note that one of the timers is minutes/seconds only, the other hours/minutes/seconds. Customer Rating: Summary: Best choice - after an exhaustive search Comment: After two inferior timers, I put my obsessive-compulsive tendencies to work on finding the perfect (quality, ease-of-use, styling, pricepoint) kitchen timer. I think this is about as close as you can come. I disagree with the reviewer who thought it looked cheap and gave it only 3 stars before even trying it out. Although the timer is about twice as heavy as the last one I tried out, the magnet is very strong so no problem putting it on the stove or fridge (it practically jumps on). Although I'm keeping the illustrated instruction booklet handy, so far it's been totally intuitive and I haven't referred to instructions at all - even using both timers. Oh, and then there's that: TWO timers, one with hours - up to 99 hours, in fact. Solid, easy, stylish little machine, and with amazon's free shipping and only one battery needed, practically a bargain. The color is lighter than the picture, a light grey, and the magnet/belt clip is the same construction as a different-brand timer I tried that broke almost immediately. So far, so good on this one, though, and I've used it alot more than the one that broke. Oh, and another disagreement with the 3* reviewer: the alarm is LOUD! Customer Rating: Summary: Not impressed! Comment: Well I got this delivered to my job today. I'm looking at it right now. First I bought this because of the great reviews that I read here. Also it looked great on my p/c sceen. In person it looks like a piece of cheap chap! It looks like it will break if you change the battery. On my p/c it looks like it has black trim in person it has a grayish trim to it. My kitchen is black and stainless steel. So far not worth what I paid for it. I'll give you all an up-date when I get home and try it out. Hope that it will at the very least preform better then it looks. UPDATE April 1st, 2008; I went home and tried it out. The set up is very easy. The alarm isn't loud enought for me. I like to watch TV and cook at the same time and I require a kitchen timer that is loud enought for me to hear. My rating for this kitchen timer is now 4 stars instead of 3 stars since the set up is easy and it has a very strong magnet on the back. More Reviews The Stainless Steel Double Digital Timer monitors two projects simultaneously. The left display can be set for minutes and seconds while the right keeps track of hours, minutes and seconds. The magnetic clip allows the timer to affix to the refrigerator, fasten to an apron, or stand up on the counter. One timer can time up to 99 hours and 99 minutes, the other up to 99 minutes. Timers count down and beep audibly when zero is reached. Operates on one AAA battery (not included). 4½"L x 2"W 
Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Taps If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area. Amco Double Digital Timer
Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Natural Granite Maintenance Granite must not be rubbed with abrasive materials instead, wash with clean warm water to which a non-abrasive light neutral detergent (PH7) may be added. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a chamois leather or similar. Drainer Grooves can be cleaned using wire wool. |
