KitchenAid Digital Timer- Red  Product Reviews

"Like the other reviewers have said, it takes WAY TOO LONG to set this timer!! It's like watching grass grow. Seriously... This is my major complaint. It's heavy yes, but that doesn't bug me, it's at an angle yes, which is actually kind of nice. But due to its incredible slowness, every time I use it I curse KitchenAid for letting a bad design functionality get past what should have been caught in their quality control. Shame on them."

"A decent item. The only problem is that it is a bit slow to set the time.....it is the way the product is designed so there is no way to change or accommodae the time setting delay built in. I'd not buy it again because of that fact, but will keep what I have as in the final analysis I can live with the engineering defect. A defect of convenience, not function."

"I love this timer. Besides the fact that it matches all of my other red kitchenaid items, I love that it is heavy duty, easy to use and loud. I've read that the timer is too quiet, but they must have fixed this attribute because it is loud enough for me to hear from the other side of the house. It is easy to set also. I suppose if you're in a major rush maybe it would take too long to set, but for normal cooking I can spare the 10 seconds to set it."

"The timer looks nice, and the setting ring is indeed made of nice heavy cast metal. But the way that you set it is STUPID: you start by twisting the ring. This wakes it up, and makes the HOUR numbers start flashing. Now you can set the HOURS. But how many times do you want to set a kitchen timer for more than an hour? To get to the minutes, you have wait five seconds for the SECONDS numbers to start flashing. NOW you can set it. Just as stupid: when you hit the RESET button, instead of resetting the timer back to whatever you originally set it to, it sets it to ZERO. So now you get the pleasure of going through the whole setting process again. You'd think it would be hard to goof up the user interface to something as simple as a kitchen timer. But they've succeeded, to the point where they need to print two paragraphs of instructions on the bottom. Get something else."
