Daily Use, Formal Meals, Informal Meals
Describe Yourself:

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

This is great for timing multiple dishes simultaneously, like something on the stove and something else in the oven. I also use it to time two of my kids who are practicing an instrument or doing required reading for school. I have given this timer as a gift, also, and she loves it, too.

Service & Delivery comments:

Fast delivery! All of my items were carefully packaged to avoid damage.

Great idea, nice design- faint alarm
By Christmas ShopperVerified Buyer from Yorktown, VA on 12/14/2009
Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Nice Weight, Unique
Best Uses:
Decorative
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Frequent Entertainer, Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

The actual alarm is really too faint and short-lived to be truly practical for the busy cook who may be multi-tasking and/or entertaining while awaiting audible notification from the timer. I wish the manufacturer would retool this clever device to make it truly useful!

Neat Design, Good Looking, BUT Not Great
By JSVerified Buyer from Berkeley, CA on 9/30/2009
Gift:
Yes
Pros:
Attractive Design, Nice Weight, Unique
Cons:
Inaccurate, Unreliable
Best Uses:
Decorative
Describe Yourself:
Practical, Stylish
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

It looks great and having two timers is definitely useful in the kitchen. That said, it's hard to use accurately for shorter times, and often the ring barely goes off or doesn't sound at all when it reaches the end.

As a timer, I'd give this something on the order of a C+. But, let's be honest. If you were looking for something purely functional, you wouldn't be looking at this one.

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

I get many comments on this timer, my mother loved it so much, she bought the red one! My kids love to play with it, too, and they think the "buzzer" at the end (which sounds like an old-fashioned phone ringing) is great. Very pleased with this product. Fits and works well in my kitchen.

How green is mint?
By PearlGirlVerified Reviewer from Eureka, CA on 4/28/2009
Gift:
No
Pros:
Durable, Nice Weight
Best Uses:
Informal Meals
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Entertainer, Stylish
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

I really like this timer, but we aware that it is not mint green. It shows much lighter on the website and is definately just medium green, no mint about it and I'm not a green colour fan unless it's light or mint green. Otherwise I like this timer and decided to keep it even though I don't like the colour. Hope this is helpful to those who like those retro colours and not mossy greens.

Cute and kinda useful
By ednrangerVerified Buyer from Fort Atkinson, WI on 4/28/2009
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Unique
Best Uses:
Decorative
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

This timer has a great old-fashioned telephone/alarm clock ring to it. The only problem I have found is that unlike the timer on my oven which keeps making sound until I turn it off, this one just rings briefly. If I'm not around to hear it, I could miss that it went off.

Comments about DOUBLE TIMER:

I love this timer. It's very retro, which is what I'm slowly but surely changing my kitchen to. It's very stylish and the double timer is fantabulous! Now I can get rid of the muliple timers I've had and make my countertops a little neater. The only con about this is the price. I hope it lasts forever for that price. It obviously didn't stop me from buying it, though.
