Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pedrini Brera Chrome Timer
Customer Review: Attractive and ergonomic, but ultimately impractical
Summary: 2 Stars
Great sleek design; chrome and black are classics. The very ergonomic twistable handle makes picking up and setting this timer a pleasure. However, the fatal drawback to this timer is that the dial face rests flat on your kitchen counter and even curves downward. Once you start using it, you quickly realize that probably every other timer you've owned had a flat, vertical face which was viewable from distance. With this timer, when you've set it on the counter so that '0' is viewable, you can't see the pointer to the number of minutes remaining because it may be on the other side. Or if you set the timer down with the pointer on the number of minutes you've just set viewable, then as the pointer rotates around out of sight down toward zero, you can't tell how much time is left. So while this timer is beautiful and ergonomic, it's not practical. Don't buy it unless you really love the design and can think of a way to mount it on a wall.
Description of Pedrini Brera Chrome Timer
Made in Italy, this stylish chrome-and-black kitchen timer works like a charm. Calibrated in minutes up to 1 hour, its numbers are large enough to be seen across the kitchen. And you can set it for either a short or long ring. Heavy and stable on its flared, rounded base, the timer measures 3-3/4 inches in diameter and stands 3-3/4 inches tall, the sort of subtle symmetry an Italian designer strives for. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred BrackTimers
