The power almost never goes out at my house, which is nice, but there are 4 appliances with clocks in my kitchen. The microwave runs fast and is usually about 12 minutes ahead every time the clocks change, the stove is always rock solid, the coffee pot is never set (despite being the only appliance with a timer mode that would actually be useful), and the air fryer is only accurate during summer because I can’t remember how to set it (and I don’t care enough to fix it).

I just got a coffee pot with no timer, just an on/off switch. (Because it also has no black plastic, even the filter holder.) I never needed a timer, but now I do have to be aware the keep-hot plate will stay on until I turn it off, instead of self-stopping after 2 hours.

The only clock I bother setting is the stove

There is really no (functional) reason to have more than a single clock within a single room

My rice cooker is the cockroach of timekeeping. It was unplugged for almost a year and the clock was still on and accurate when I pulled it out of storage.
