Review on Thomas 5017 Traceable Flashing LED Dual Channel Timer with Big-Digit Display, 3-inch Width x 3.5-inch Height x 5/8-inch Thickness by Angela Patra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Generally easy to use

I have been using this timer for grilling for about a month now. Overall easy to use, although it would have been nice to have a sticker on the back with instructions on how to set up storage. The rest of the functions are intuitive. The flashing time displays don't seem to be very useful since the display is always on. I don't like the fact that it doesn't have an on/off button, don't know what battery life to expect. The kickstand is useless, as are the magnets for sticking to a metal surface. I'll stick a self-adhesive rubber bumper on the back to tilt the timer at a nicer angle. I'm having a little problem with the stop/start button, S/S, as it doesn't seem to work when the timer resets to the set time after the timer has expired. It could be how I press the button, but that seems like a lame excuse. However, I would buy these again.

Pros

Cons
