Review on ⏳ Set of 12 Rhode Island Novelty 3.5 Inch Sand Timers for Perfect Time Management by Kayla Walton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad timers in kitchen utensils and gadgets

I want to say right away that I didn't expect these timers to be perfect. At $0.50 per timer I figured 10 seconds would be enough anyway. I bought these for my kids to calculate their own brushing times so they don't have to be too precise. When I first got them I thought they were great. There is a suction cup on one side that can be attached to a mirror, door, wall or anything else. It spins on the suction cup so my kids can just flip it over and start cleaning. Then I flipped one of them. Not only was it less than 2 minutes, it eventually got stuck and I had to twist it the other way to pull it off. They weren't even accurate relative to each other. At least the ones I could work with. I checked them all and the closest was 2:11 (acceptable) but the next was 2:47 then 3+ minutes. It's not even close. Most of them surpassed the 3 minute mark, and some even surpassed the 4 minute mark. Absolutely unacceptable. Obviously the manufacturers have no quality control and I would recommend everyone to stay away from this product.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was
