HSE Cedar Box Sauna Sand Timer

I am bummed. The timer is beautiful and I was so excited to use it. When my sauna warms up the sand seems to get stuck, and so sometimes it will work accurately for 5-10 minutes and then it will stop until I walk up and tap on it. Basically, there is no way to know how much time has passed ever. Total junk. Update: I used my sauna after 24 hours and the sand is in the exact same place. No movement at all even when it completely cooled down. So doesn’t even work cool

This timer matches my cedar sauna, it's attractive and simple, no batteries or electronic parts is always a plus 😊.

First, the sent the wrong model. It was the same price and sane function, so I kept the wrong one. Second, it just doesn’t work as a timer. The sand stops flowing… 5mins becomes 10, 15 mins become 30. I have to get up and knock it to work. DON’T BUY.

Haven't checked accuracy, Doesn't matter. Depending on sauna preheat time and what I was doing, the time to achieve rolling sweat varies. So whenever it starts, I flip timer and have consistency.

first timer i bought from them didn't work properly, the sand would get stuck after sauna heated up so you couldn't get a read on how long you're in there. only way to get sand to flow is by hitting it several times, some of the times , even with tapping the top, it still doesn't move. i returned the first and had it replaced thinking it was defective, it wasn't, the replacement still had same issues, returned today. stay away JUNK. only good thing - its a real good looking item.

The wood and sand look nice, it works well and is at least somewhat accurate to give an idea of how long we’ve been in the sauna. So that’s good. But I’m baffled. They really made plastic screws and painted them silver. Yes, really. PAINTED. SILVER. And that effort is somehow cheaper than real screws? And then they expect us to use them to hang the timer in the sauna? Plastic screws into CEDAR SAUNA WALLS? Spoiler: they didn’t work. We learned that’s they were plastic when they disintegrated upon installation. Thankfully the thermometer we bought separately had an extra metal screw. You know, since people might lose or poorly install the first, and it’s cheap enough they could include an extra. Yeah, an extra metal screw. Unlike these guys. Who couldn’t afford even one.

Got this as a timer for our hot tub, which is outdoors in Wisconsin! Works great in all weather conditions, including -10*F. It is placed where the roof overhang protects it, but is exposed to extreme cold and works fine so far!

Timer is made from quality wood and installs easily. The bad news is it times out at 14 minutes-17 seconds. For the price it should be closer.
