Great little timer. Perfect for a retro kitchen.,

This review is from: Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Mint Green (Kitchen)
When I ordered this timer, it was initially back ordered. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived within just a few days.
It works perfectly by keeping extrememly accurate time. It passed the cookie baking test with flying colors. The magnetic backing is perfect for sticking to any surface at any angle. The ad for this timer isn't specific and pictures it in a way that implies it is much larger than it actually is. Be aware that it is small, which works for my tiny workspace. Overall, I am very pleased with my cute little retro timer!

This review is from: Fox Run Retro Kitchen Timer with Magnet, Mint Green (Kitchen)
This timer looks beautiful and retro, a favorite combination of mine, BUT it fails in its most important feature: warning you when your food is done. I needed an extra timer because I tend to cook more than one item at a time (like most people) and lose track of cooking times. For about a week, I used this without incident. Then, I decided to color my hair...DUM DUM DUM (threatening music in the background). I set the timer and waited, but after a while of not hearing a timer...I began to be suspicious. I looked, and saw that it had run out of time, but no ringing to warn me. WHAT!?! Here I am, bleaching my hair (platinum blonde,no less!) and this POS timer stops working after less than 7 uses. I loved nearly everything about it: cool old-fashioned paint, magnetic backing so it can stay out of reach of my curious toddler, and the convenience of a timer I can take with me wherever I am in the house.
It works less than half of the time, so if I am baking cookies for my new neighbors (a few days ago), well, I have to watch the cookies (Sliver's Lemon Spritz, which were Awesome!!!) until I get a better timer. I once had a great (West Bend brand, I think) timer that never failed. I will be searching for a replica of that one. This is now a somewhat interesting-looking paper weight. Update: I read some other reviews of this item and learned that you have to wind it up fully, then wind it down to the amount of time you want to set it for. THEN, it works. I now love this timer. Glad I bought it...the classic color is cool too.

I liked everything about this timer, except that it stopped ringing after 3 1/2 months. It still ticks away but since it doesn't ring it's worthless. I wish company's wouldn't make throw away junk like this. It just wastes our planet's resources. :-(
