Customer Reviews of West Bend 40053 Triple Timer with Clock, White
Customer Rating:   Summary: Westbend 3 timer Comment: I purchased this when my old style Westbend 3 timer went out. This one is fine. It does NOT stand well on a counter top. Why, it has a clip in the back that gets in the way. dumb design. It has more functions that just get in the way on the timers. So yes it does the job. Westbend went too far with features and made a great timer just an OK one. Would I buy this one again, Yes, it's the best in class/price. Westbend, get rid of the clip in back and make it stand like the old one and get rid of the clock and count up features. The old one worked and it stood on the counter. The clip in the back is over kill. Westbend should have just kept making the old one. They would sell more. Customer Rating: Summary: West Bend has a bad design Comment: The West Bend 40053 replaces the 40032 model that had been a superb design. The new model is a poor design and does not meet the most important requirements: Simplicity and Functionality. Do these manufacturers ever ask real people to check out their designs? Customer Rating: Summary: Tiny buttons, tiny print Comment: Bad? Out of box failure, tiny buttons and a counterintuitive interface. Good? Large Display. I give this triple timer a big fat NO. Customer Rating: Summary: West Bend Triple Timer Comment: Good product, our last one lasted 15 years (it quit because my daughter washed it under the sink faucet) Customer Rating: Summary: supreme product Comment: The 'West Bend' triple timers, Model 40053, we purchased are easier to program and use than others we tried and returned. We have been using 'West Bend' model 40032 for years and were very satisfied with their performance until they recently gave out after at least 15 years of service. More Reviews time up to three activities simultaneously with easy-to-use functions, 3 distinct alarms that sound for up to 1 min., and a clock display that makes this the perfect timepiece for a kitchen or garage. The large, easy-to-read LCD face counts either up to or down from 100 hours. Comes with a memory feature, plus a clip, stand, magnet and hanging hole for versatile use. Requires 2 AAA batteries (included). 
Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. West Bend 40053 Triple Timer with Clock, White
