A:
Mine certainly has a timer. I can set it for anywhere from 1 to 9 minutes. It also has settings for type of food: popcorn, beverage, frozen vegatables, meat, potato, etc. I am liking mine.
I had wanted to get one to exactly replace the one that fit into my cabinets - for which the cabinet was custom made. This one is the right size but doesn't have holes fro the brackets I used before. So it is sitting on the counter until I get smarter. It works better and faster than my old one. And it's white, always a big positive.
