Review of American Innovative Klip Vibe Kitchen Dual Timer/Clock/Stopwatch, Charcoal

This timer is a bit of a gamble as other timers can be had for half the price, but the Klip is a clear step up from bargain products.

For example, the inexpensive timer I owned before this one had a flimsy stand to prop the unit up, as do many others on the market. The Klip on the other hand is cleverly contoured and will stand on its own without a prop. The overall construction is better than most timers and the unit is made from much sturdier plastic.

The Klip is meant to be worn and has a belt clip which can be used to hook the device on a belt or pocket. The vibration and alarm are not particularly loud, which is perfect for my use, but if you need an air-raid type alarm that can be heard next door, it will not work for you.

Since there are dedicated buttons for setting hours, minutes, and seconds, setting the countdown time is easy. Press mode to select the timer, press the appropriate "+/-" buttons to set, then press "play" to start. The timer can be paused by pressing "play" again or reset by holding it down for a couple of seconds. The countdown function also features an elapsed time bar which graphically displays how much time has elapsed.

Holding down the mode and alarm buttons will lock the unit so accidental button presses will not change the program. There are two timers, a clock, and a stopwatch, all of which run independently. The Klip is powered by two AAA batteries and unlike some timers, the alarm can be turned off once it begins to sound.

The only negative observation is that even though the magnet on the back is strong, the Klip will turn to right a little when you stick it to the refrigerator because the batteries cause that end of the unit to weigh more.

The Klip is a discrete, flexible, easy to use, and well-built timer.
