Lux CP2428-59 Mechanical Classic Timer, White
I gave this only 4 stars because the one I purchased in a seal plastic protective pack was faulty. However, Lux Corporation promptly replaced it at no expense to me!
I had used a similar one for many, many years that eventually stopped from grandkids using it.
I'm a cook that may need a "few minutes more" when cooking and it is as simple as a quick turn of the dial.
For small children who need time-outs occasionally it is the best. I can discretely fudge the time a little for a very young child who needs calming down time when I see that his best is only sitting on the chair 2 minutes instead of 3 as restlessness grows. I let him achieve success within his own ability and then I get a pay-off with his feeling of reward by success!
Customer Review: good timer
Summary: 4 Stars
I think my mother had a timer just like this. It worked for her for years, so I picked one up, hoping to get the same results.
This is a nice timer. Pretty sure it's not as accurate as newer, digital timers, but it never needs batteries and will give you a good idea of how long something has been cooking (or whatever else you want to use it for), if you don't need something timed to the specific second.
Customer Review: Lux #CP2428-59 White 60 Minute Cook Timer
Summary: 3 Stars
Somehow Amazon has brought up a "Toy Review" form but I am evaluating this based on the needs for a timer for Pomodoro Technique activities.
The product (with slight undocumented model number changes) has changed over the years. In the interest of cost control (I assume) features like stopping the ticking after the ring were abandoned which lowers the costs, is probably no an issue in many situations but makes the product less desirable than the older model which did stop on ring. There is also a slight misalignment of when it rings (about 1 minute visually).
It works. Seems to work repeatedly but it does not "feel" like the product of old which is, IMO, higher quality.
Finally, this particular version is a ring as opposed to a ding which other versions do. The packaging says "Long Ring" but that is not mentioned in the information on Amazon.
