Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend Digital Timer, White
Customer Review: Easy to use, easy to read
Summary: 4 Stars
Kitchen timers don't need to do anything fancy. They should be able to count up, count down, beep when the timer is done. They should be durable, easy to read, easy to use, and stable. Lastly, they should be nice enough looking that you won't want to keep them hidden in the drawer. This timer is all of those things. I use it mainly as an espresso shot timer, and it works rather well for that. I start the timer before the shot, then adjust the target time accordingly (e.g. adding 5 seconds). Instead of timing down to a beep, I use the stopwatch feature. It's got a magnetic back, so it can attach to the side of my machine when not in use, but also has a fold-out kickstand so it can stand up. The angle when using the kickstand makes it easy to read.Customer Review: Excellent little timer
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this timer because my wife and I hate the ones that don't allow inputting the time with number keys. This timer works very nicely. I find the start/stop buttons to be non-intuitive. I'd reverse them or label them differently, but that's a minor point. The alarm could be a little louder, but again it's a minor quibble. Overall it's the best alternative I've seen in a kitchen timer at this point in time.Customer Review: Extremely versatile and easy to use

Hi, I've had this timer for a couple of years. It has a magnet on the back, so it sticks to your refrigerator. Or, you can clip it on your belt. Or you can flip a little metal bar and it will stand on its own. Never seen a timer with all those features. Easy to use, loud ringer, but ringer only sounds for about a minute. I'm buying another for my son, who keeps taking it upstairs to time the cookies he bakes, and he forgets to bring it back down and stick it on the refrigerator.Customer Review: Fantastic!

I bought one of these timers for my house. My husband likes it so much, I am buying another one for his business! Easy to use and punching in the time you want rather than holding down a button for what seems like hours is a great feature.Customer Review: Flimsy, uninspired design
Summary: 1 Stars
As others have said, if you use the magnet to attach this timer to an oven hood or a refrigerator, it's nearly impossible to use with one hand because you can't push any buttons without knocking the timer off. After a few falls, the clip has broken off and it now lives, face-side up, on the counter until we find a replacement.
It also has no memory. If you set a time on it, let it finish, then push the 'restart' button, the timer goes back to 00:00. You get the same behavior when you push any other button as well. There is no means of telling how long the last timer session was.
It makes a nice, very loud beep that's difficult to ignore. I'll give it that much.
I'd expect this from a $3 timer in the bargain bin but I paid around $13. No, $13 isn't a lot of money but when there are plenty of other timers for much cheaper, you can do much, much better.
