Review on πŸ• eTradewinds eT-23 Stainless Steel Elegant Digital Kitchen Timer: Strong Magnetic Back, Loud Alarm, Large Display, Auto Memory, Auto Shut-Off by Donna Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Practical and well thought out

I gave it to a colleague for Christmas. Haven't used it myself but it seems like a good product and he likes it. On the plus side I can say it has a good screen size for such a compact timer, a lifetime guarantee and *sigh* it actually comes with a battery! About a week after delivery I received an automated email from the seller asking if I was happy with my purchase and reminding me that it was under warranty and if I had any problems they would fix it information if I was dissatisfied). and that's enough to make me feel confident about this purchase. When a company is willing to support a product in this way, that's a good sign. My friend wanted a small timer that he could attach to the edge of a shelf on a stainless steel workbench at work (we work in a professional kitchen). It didn't stick at all and I was very disappointed until I poked around the internet and found out that some types of stainless steel are magnetic (ferritic stainless steel) and some aren't (austenitic stainless steel, the most common), so overall there's probably nothing wrong with the magnet , the problem lies in the surface we tried to stick it on. It has a stand as well as a magnet so it still works for him. So if you have a stainless steel fridge, just make sure it's magnetic if you want to stick it to it.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
