Product Description

Product Description

Fred has recently developed an obsession for poached eggs just so he can play with his delightful new kitchen timer. The FRED-O-MATIC has a nice digital display that shows the time, and at the press of a button it changes into a 99-minute digital timer. But the fun REALLY begins when the brownies are done, when it whirls its blades, bounces it little colored beads, and plays an assorted soundtrack of seriously cornball "happy music." Fred only wishes his idol Julia Child were still with us so he could put a smile on her wonderful face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Video sample of what will happen, January 3, 2009

By	Amazon Fan! - See all my reviews

Length:: 0:32 Mins

I agree with the comments of others. It's actually become more a of conversation starter than a cooking timer.

Here's a video of what will happen when time runs out. Plays the selected song for 30 seconds. Songs vary randomly each run. The $20 is for scale (not included) :)

Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very fun, but not the most practical, April 27, 2009

By	A. Winget (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I do absolutely love this timer, and I would recommend that you get one. However, I had to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it isn't practical enough to use as your one-and-only kitchen timer.

1. It can only time up to 99 minutes.
2. After playing the cute song it turns off. So if you had something in the oven and didn't get around to taking it out during the 30 seconds or so that the song was playing, there would be no further reminder for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun & easy to use!, April 12, 2009

By	H. Ethetton (Nebraska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this timer. I wanted a timer, to help my kids pick up. Something fun to get them interested & they have to try to beat the timer. This timer is perfect! So fun & they can't wait to hear the song after they cleaned up the playroom!
