Polder Triple Digital Timer - WhiteI agree with the some of the other reviews. The alarm is too soft and Polder is falsely advertising the product on their packaging by stating the following "Loud 60 sec. automatic alarm sounds when programmed time is reached." It is anything but loud. I owned a West Bend triple timer for 20 years and you could hear the alarm from another room. With the Polder, you can barely hear it standing next to it. If you had the radio on, you probably would not hear it. West Bend's new unit does not work like the previous one, otherwise, I would have purchased theirs. Also, the Polder unit display cannot be turned off and it wastes battery life. The West Bend display could be turned off. Looks to me like Polder didn't do much testing of the unit with prospective customers. The drawbacks are too obvious. West Bend made a mistake it changing a product that consumers were satisfied with.
