Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 04212 Electronic Clock/Timer
Customer Review: A Timer with Character
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great timer with a few minor flaws, none of which seriously detract from its usefulness. On the up side:
- Four countdown timers
- Loud beeper
- One count-up timer
- Reliable (we use them daily for homeschool)
On the down side:
- The magnet on the back falls off eventually (we rip it off since we don't need it)
- The metal piece for the stand pushes through the plastic in the back of the case over time, potentially causing trouble. I use a rubber eraser instead.
- Switching back to the clock when Timer 1 is stopped causes Timer 1 to be reset to zero (most of the time you'll let the timer run out and never encounter this)
Update 1/10/2009: Almost 3 years later, these things still work fine. Even after having been thrown across the room by temperamental teenagers. In fact I bought 2 extras "just in case" and haven't had to use them at all. As other reviewers have pointed out, the buttons do wear out with heavy use and become less responsive.
Description of Presto 04212 Electronic Clock/Timer
Four functions in one compact unit - timer, stop watch, calendar and clock. Times up to four activities at once. Accurately time sup to 24 hours in timer or stop watch mode. Easy to read l.c.d. digital display shows hours, minutes and seconds. Memory store sup to three different timer settings.Some purist cooks claim to have an instinctive inner timer, but most people need a little help remembering when to take the roast out or punch down the bread dough for its second rise. The Presto four-in-one Electronic Clock/Timer fulfills that basic function, but it doesn't stop there.
When not in use as a timer, the time and date--month, day, year, and day of the week--are displayed. There's also a stopwatch function that's useful in many ways, and not necessarily only in the kitchen. The easy-to-read display is helpful when there's kitchen work going on; that way it can hang up out of the way and stay clean. A loud tone sounds when the time is up; and the memory function stores up to three countdown times for reuse. The versatile clip can also become an easel stand, and it has a magnet, too--it's good to go wherever it's needed.
The Presto electronic Clock/Timer operates on one AAA battery (one battery is included.) The Clock/Timer is not immersible; it can be carefully wiped clean with a slightly damp rag. The timer measures 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches. A sheet detailing containing operating instructions is included. Presto guarantees this product with a limited one-year warranty. --Garland Withers
