Amazon.com Review: The great thing about this timer is not only that it's easy to set, but that the directions for use are printed right on the back in case you forget how. While the timer uses digital technology and an LED display in hours, minutes, and seconds, its unique setting wheel removes some of digital technology's frustration. Simply giving the polished metal wheel a turn or pushing either of the two buttons will activate the timer and readies it for setting. First, the hour space flashes; when turned clockwise, the wheel scrolls up through numbers one through nine, and easily let you backtrack to the number you want by turning the wheel counterclockwise. Next, the minutes place flashes and again the wheel turns quickly from 1 through 59; same with the seconds. Pushing the start button begins the countdown. Convenient features include pause, last-setting recall, and a pleasant yet firm beep. The oval base of the slanted timer measures 4 by 3-3/4 inches, while the durable plastic face measures 2-3/4 inches across. One D battery is required. KitchenAid covers the timer with a one-year warranty against defects. A donation of 10-percent of the retail selling price will be made for each Cook for the Cure item sold. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Is that my timer beeping???
Let me just say DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I bought this for myself with a gift card I had received and was delighted at how it matched my entire collection of Kitchen Aid pink, but that was all that delighted me. You cannot even hear this if you are in the same room! I don't have a large kitchen and still have burnt so many cookies, pies, etc. I should have just bought a different one and saved the money I've wasted in all the food thats been ruined! Needless to say it collects dust now and I use the timer built in on my mircrowave. If there were a lower rating than one star that's how I would rate ... Read More

I had to have this to match my other pink kitchen stuff but it is awful. Have a hard time setting it for just a few minutes. Okay if you set it for hours but not short times.
Rating: - A really nice well designed timer.
This is a heavy timer. The ring around the unit is chromed metal and is well designed so that it is easy to use and clean.
Rating: - Cute but AWFUL
You cannot hear the timer... it is poorly made and was an absolute waste of money. I love kitchen aid mixers and my kitchen aid dishwasher is the best EVER but, trust me, this timer is AWFUL.
Rating: - Kitchenaid... WHAT were you thinking?!?!
I thought I was the only one who had problems with it!! I also thought that maybe I had received a defective one, but after reading the other reviews, I'm glad I'm not crazy!! Just like the others, I had to have it to match my other pink Kitchenaid and Le Creuset kitchen equipment. I also replaced the battery. If you almost smash the buttons to pieces, it is possible to set it. However, if it doesn't go completely blank on you before your food is done, you might have a decent meal.
