1.0 out of 5 stars Lux timer doesn't time, December 2, 2008

This review is from: Lux CP2428-59 Mechanical Classic Timer, White (Kitchen)

I have a Lux timer that is nearly 40 years old (made in USA) and has given me good service. So, when I needed another for a second home, I bought what I thought was the same thing. True, the styling is the same, but that is where the similarity ends. The new one, made in China, is flimsy, and no matter what I do, the timing stops at about 30 minutes. I.E., it's a piece of junk -- what a disappointment!

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work like my mom's, July 18, 2009

This review is from: Lux CP2428-59 Mechanical Classic Timer, White (Kitchen)

My mom had a Robert Shaw Lux Minute Minder when I was growing up and it was solid and reliable.

I bought one of these Lux Minute Minders because I find digital timers annoying (they never seem to be as easy to set as a Minute Minder). I thought this timer would be great like my mom's, but it isn't. Half the time it stops before it reaches zero, and never rings. A timer this unreliable is useless.

It also feels cheap and flimsy compared to my mom's. I do like the long ring, but this and its vintage appearance don't offset its erratic performance.

I'm going to try to get a real vintage Robert Shaw Lux Minute Minder on eBay, and toss this one in the trash.

The bell doesn't go off, the dial is permanently set to minus a minute and a half. Absolute junk made in China. Do not buy!!
