Don't waste your time or money!This was the third timer I purchased. This was identical to one I had for over 10 years until I dropped it recently and now everything inside rattles. Returned the first 2 to other stores where purchased because they did not work. But this one was Sunbeam and I had many years experience with this exact timer. It is just as worthless as the first 2 I bought. It ticks so loudly I can hear it anywhere in the house from the kitchen, plus it goes off before the time is up. This just can't be made in America. This one will be returned to Amazon as soon as possible.
1Extremely disappointedThis is probably the worst item by far that I have purchased on Amazon. I thought with the Sunbeam name that I would be getting a decent product. What I got was a piece of junk! Sorry, It's not even worth what I paid for it. It counts down but does not "ding". What's the point? I will continue my search. Do not purchase this product.
1Doesn't workEDIT ADD ONI called Sunbeam itself to figure out what went wrong and they sent me on a wild goose chase of numbers and emails and websites. They just avoided me and wouldn't answer my questions. Not only is the product poor quality, the customer service is too.ORIGINAL REVIEWThis timer doesn't do the basic job of ringing once it is done. It had a tiny little ding about 7 minutes before time was up, but when the allotted time was over, it just stopped ticking and didn't ring. If I could I would give it zero stars if I could, definitely not worth the $10 it costs.
1Useless Timer.....not even close to being accurateWe had guests coming to visit for a while who are older and prefer to cook eggs each morning. They like to time their eggs with this type of timer. Although this timer looks just like the old fashioned ones the time it keeps is not even close to being accurate. When the timer is set per the instructions to turn past 45 minutes then turn back to your desired time, it is just way off. For instance when set properly to 5 minutes the bell actually alarms approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes prior to the end of the 5 minute period. Then it keeps ticking for the remainder period of time. This timer is basically useless and a waste of money. If I can return it without paying to ship it back I will. Don't waste your money or TIME on this one.
1It's okay.It works okay and looks okay. I have found that the ringer goes off when there is another minute left on the dial, though. Too bad you can't try them out before buying. One of the negatives with buying online.
3and it was awesome. I was disappointed to see how cheap they ...I had one of these as a child, and it was awesome. I was disappointed to see how cheap they have become since then. The dial has way too much play in it, and even giving it the customary half turn did not always set the alarm. That satisfying "ding" I remember from the old Sunbeam timers has been replaced with an ear piercing buzz you'd only ever expect to hear when Spacely's Sprockets encounters a glitch.
2WorthlessYou should not be offering this cheap worthless merchandise, This timer makes the tiniest of sounds, one can barely hear it in the same room , let alone if you walked away. It ticks a light alarm several times before the 0 end time and then when time is up it makes NO sound at all. A complete waste of money and my time in dealing with it.
1Does not last...Don't waste your money!Lasted less than 4 months!!I use it, infrequently, for timing cakes and cookies, steaks on the broiler etc..things that NEED timing.My last use was for cookies. I set the timer for 12 minutes and went in to start laundry, got side tracked and never heard it ringggggg.Because it didn't. Of course the cookies were burnt.So I tested it, setting for 10 minutes before I put a new batch in and, in fact, and for not apparent reason, the timer just up and quit doing its job. I get a few soft clunk noises at about 2 minutes prior to the time I've set it for but no longer does it work as one expects a timer to work.I had my last times since the 1970s..it was Harvest Gold if that tells you anything! I wasn't at all disappointed that it quit working in 2017..I thought that was a fairy good investment of $1.99...the price tag was still on the bottom.This is a piece of junk. Attractive junk, but still junk.
1DissappointedI was sadly surprised and the flimsy construction. I always trusted Sunbeam to be the best. But, this was a letdown. The old timer I had that was destroyed my my dog after 20 years last week, was a nice, solid heavy-weight Sunbeam I purchased for $5 at Target. Lasted two decades. This is so thin and flimsy, I hope it will last the year.
3Nothing like originalIt works but it's a cheesy copy of the original
