Taylor Mechanical Kitchen Timer 60 Minute

Bought one before so now have two. Dependable, loud and accurate. Use while doing laundry since washer sound is not loud enough.

Excellent product. Size is just right and its lightweight as well. Can’t get any easier to use. So far its accurate and easy to read. Material is yet to test out but so far for the money it’s a good buy.

G good on day 1.

Quality Product

Simple, easy to use, effective. Doesn't have an overly long or loud ringtone. Short, rather quiet ring . A good buy .

(Read the updates. Taylor Mechanical Timers are short lived... I have now tried two,) I have no association with the company and I am fussy about my cooking tools. I have had this Taylor timer for about a year, having received it as a gift. I had been lamenting how I could not find a stainless timer to match my stainless & black kitchen gear and boom...a Xmas gift. Having read the poor reviews, I had not ordered one. Amazon reviews have been very helpful and I use them a lot. This Taylor timer has worked flawlessly since last Christmas. I use it every day to time water for my coffee press and other stuff. It sits on my counter and has stood up to cleaning from spills. The base keeps it from sliding off real well. The ring is extra long (compared to the white Wally World generic I now use in my office) and the ring volume is good enough for this senior citizen, if you don't go too far from the kitchen. It's a timer, not a fire alarm. Anyway, maybe I got the only good one in the universe, but I will get another one quickly, if this one ever craps out. UPDATE> May 6, 2013 Timer stopped working... it sticks on 8 minutes. sorry to see it go and it lasted for about a year and a half performing well. I will try another brand, as I expect more durability from a simple product... although I did use it daily or more. I reduced the rating to 3 stars. UPDATE> Second Taylor Mechanical Timer crapped out within 60 days... I recommend going digital or stick with the Dollar Store offering. I have one of each. Re-glued the cheap mechanical... works well. Dropped one of the digitals and the screen went gray. It was used a lot for 5 bucks and the second one is still going after a year. Batteries last within reason, but I use it all the time.

Used on a regular basis for about 4 months, then the gears failed and it no longer times, just rings immediately after setting

This is easy to use, and more than loud enough for a reasonable person with reasonable expectations. If you are in the same room or maybe a room over and there isn’t a ton of noise you should hear it. Otherwise I’d just carry take it with me to the other location. If you are setting it to less than 15 minutes I recommend bringing it to 15 than down to the low time you want to set so the spring will have enough energy. I like that it clings then shuts off. I don’t have to stop doing something else and turn off some incessant alarm. I also like that I can run it while I’m running my oven alarm for something else. If I wanted to go outside I can carry it out with me as well.

But 1% of the time the alarm doesn’t go off. So far I’ve burnt a cake and a batch of cookies. Can’t trust it.

Está hecho de muy buen material, muy resistente.

So easy and loud

I was surprised by the alarm. I am a profoundly deaf person and the alarm made just the right noise. The surgical steel tips make the difference.
