Digital Kitchen Timer Big Digital LED Display Volume Adjustable Back Strong Magnetic Automatic Shutdown, White

We got this initially to set times for our young child for things like brushing teeth, homework, Youtube time, etc., but it's been handy for kitchen stuff as well. Nice to have an extra timer, especially one that's so easy to set, when I have multiple things cooking that need minding. The buttons are intuitive, the display is clear and bright. Two volume settings - the loud setting is LOUD! Great for distractible folks like me. I like that it has strong magnets for the fridge as well as a built-in stand, and a little loop on the back if we wanted to put it on a lanyard for some reason. We've been using it several times daily for about a couple months now, and it's still like new. Thinking about getting another one.

Works great, and easy to read. It is plenty loud too, I can hear it at the other end of the house. I got it to time my workouts, but my wife liked it so much that it is now the kitchen timer, the magnet sticks to the fridge so you always know where it is and you can easily read it from across the kitchen.I may have to get another one.

I am using this mainly to let the kids know when their TV/electronics time is up, and it works perfectly for that. It has a good, loud beep when it goes off, so I can hear it anywhere in the house and the kids can hear it over their electronics. I like the little stand in the back, since I am mostly keeping it in a spot where there is no metal for attaching the magnets. The fact that it beeps with every change in time increment gets a little annoying (especially when going past about 10 minutes), but it does mean sneaky children can't change the time without me knowing about it :) The only negative is that I wish there were a way to go in reverse - that is, when I overshoot my desired time by a few minutes, I'd like to be able to hit a button and go back down, instead of starting over. But that's a small quibble with an otherwise good product, and for the price I paid, I really can't complain too much.

When looking at the timer head on, the numbers are barely visible. I have to tilt it to make out the time. Also, I was told that I could silence the timer, but this is not the case. The volume control allows you to toggle between a loud and quiet state, but not to turn off the volume entirely. It was easy enough to open the timer up and clip the volume cords, but it would have been nice to preserve the volume when I needed it.

I do like this timer. It has a great readable display and a loud ring. What I don’t like, is to set it you have to push the button the same amount of times you want the time to be set. Ie for 30 min, you have to push the set button 30 times. Gets a bit annoying. 9/7/18 Timer stopped beeping. Or beeps intermittently. Not dependable. Burnt one cake because it didn’t alarm.

This timer is an essential tool in my classroom. We use it daily for timing the kids in their work. I love that there is a loud setting that I can use for the whole class. If only one student is using it, then s/he can put it on the quieter setting for themselves. The timer is also magnetic so it sticks perfectly to a chalkboard or a whiteboard and sometimes even doubles as a magnet for charts.I also love that the numbers are big enough for students to see from afar. Pro tip: put it underneath the document camera and project it onto your smartboard so the kids can see how much time they have.

Works really well, esp. if I remember to "start" it after I set the time! In other words, it works unless I am having a "senior moment". Probably the best feature to my mind is that it retains the "set" time until you clear it, which means that if I am baking cookies, after it goes off & I take the sheet of cookies out of the oven, I don't have to reset the time, just tap the start again for the subsequent sheets of cookies. How nice is that!

I have it for 5 months and only used it occasionally for an hour here and there for clients that I see in during the week. It has stopped working and does not show a display of numbers anymore. I tried replacing the battery but still no display. I really liked this timer because it had a large number display but unfortunately it only lasted 5 months. I wish I was still able to return and replace it:(
