Amazon.com Review

Some purist cooks claim to have an instinctive inner timer, but most people need a little help remembering when to take the roast out or punch down the bread dough for its second rise. The Presto four-in-one Electronic Clock/Timer fulfills that basic function, but it doesn't stop there.

When not in use as a timer, the time and date--month, day, year, and day of the week--are displayed. There's also a stopwatch function that's useful in many ways, and not necessarily only in the kitchen. The easy-to-read display is helpful when there's kitchen work going on; that way it can hang up out of the way and stay clean. A loud tone sounds when the time is up; and the memory function stores up to three countdown times for reuse. The versatile clip can also become an easel stand, and it has a magnet, too--it's good to go wherever it's needed.

The Presto electronic Clock/Timer operates on one AAA battery (one battery is included.) The Clock/Timer is not immersible; it can be carefully wiped clean with a slightly damp rag. The timer measures 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches. A sheet detailing containing operating instructions is included. Presto guarantees this product with a limited one-year warranty. --Garland Withers

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost without it !, January 19, 2003

By	Pam David (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I have had a Presto timer for over 6 years, and I truly would be lost without it. It not only functions as a kitchen timer, but it serves as an alarm clock. Living in Indiana where we get weather that often knock's out our power... we have set it 8 hours ahead to wake us for work. It beeps for a full minute which I love. And you can set it up to 24 hours.
I am getting a new one (mine is still fine, but I don't want to take a chance that they will quit making them...ha ha) and I am getting one for my daughter in law. AND it runs on 1AA battery!

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks Nice, Weak Magnet, January 4, 2005

By	NovaLamp "lamp4" (Kent, WA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Got the Presto Timer after buying a Sunbeam timer at the local store.
The Presto Timer looks nice, has a nice screen and the key layout is all right.
Unfortunately, the magnet is real weak "i.e. cheap". Using the timer with the magnet holding it on a surface is dicey as the timer falls easily. I bought two and they both have that problem. Oh, after 1 week of use, the magnet came loose from the plastic. Drop this timer and the battery case opens and the battery flies out. At least the timer is still running!
Yes!
So if you don't care about the magnet, this is a decent timer.
I will look for a timer that has a good magnet and a good layout.
OH! The magnet from my Sunbeam timer fell off. So I glued it to the Presto Timer that lost its magnet (the old Westbend Timer we had lasted over 10 years without any problems until near the end). Its too bad Presto uses such a cheap "plastic" magnet. At least I was able to improve it. Hey Presto is empowering me.
That is why!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does everything it claims!, January 20, 2005

By	R. Khan "gotta help out!" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By having both a magnet back and a stand, the design is wobbly and unstable, and not easily usable with one hand. If you look at the 2nd photo which shows the stand, you will figure out why. I would have preferred for them to provide only a large/strong magnet on the back, and no stand. So that's what I did with mine: dismantled the stand, and glued on a rubber magnet on the back. In spite of this shortcoming, I could not give it fewer than 5 stars. It excels at all the features, which are considerable. The price is more than fair.
