I purchased this Taylor timer and after using it about three times, the dial no longer worked. It would not wind up and would stop in random places. I then bought a more expensive model (silly me) and it didn't work from the beginning. The alarm would sound when the dial hit the five-minute mark. Other times it stopped closer to zero and other times past zero.
