Sunbeam, 91640, 99 Minute, 59 Second Digital Count up/Count Down Timer, White/Grey

I bought this timer for its digital key pad so I can enter exact time in seconds, however this timer is in such an extremely poor quality and within one single usage it already went bad! when I pressed either the 0 or the 5 button the display went crazy and flashing with random numbers, the reset buttom nolonger works just after one single use, what a junk!!!

I own a Timex timer with the number pad like this one, and was looking to add another one to my kitchen.

This one works just like the Timex, but is rather "fat". It definitely sticks out FAR off the front of our refrigerator (about 1 to 2 inches) like one reviewer said, so you must make sure you don't brush it with your shoulder as you pass by, or you have to pick it up off the floor.

The magnet can't seem to hold it in place while you press the buttons, so you DO have to hold it with your other hand.

It is fine for what we use it for, but I will continue my quest for a more "slim" profile timer with a better, stronger magnet.

When I received the timer, I read the instructions and put it use. Simple to use and counts up or down. The buttons are easy to use and the display is big and easy to read. When I was done, I proceeded to try and turn off the timer. I thought I was missing something. There is no on/off button so I have to take the battery out or the timer stays on constantly. I can't believe they would design a timer without a way to turn it off. I should have read the other reviews more carefully, others have complained of the same thing. I am very disappointed with my purchase and would not purchase again. Make sure the timer that you buy has an on/off button and save yourself batteries and hassle.

I liked my timer so well that I called Sunbeam and several others and finally learned I could purchase another on Amazon. I gave these to my two hairdressers for their use at the beauty salon and they love them. Also kept a brand new one for myself!

The digital entry format is very quick and convenient. The keys are crisp and easy to use and the audio feedback and the alarm are loud and easy to hear.
