I love how this works and how it looks. The beep is nice and loud. The numbers are easily visible from across my kitchen. The magnets hold it securely in place with making it difficult to pick up if you want. But it is so easy to use that I leave it on the fridge when I set it. I got it in red and the color is great.
Buy the package of 2! Well worth it! If you have 2 different meals going or setting a timer for something else; it's easy to set and reset.
I like that the display is large but even on the loudest setting I find it hard to hear. Could be louder!
My wife does a lot in her kitchen and just having the stove timer and the microwave timer wasn't working great. With these she now has as many timers as she wants (she currently has 4 of them). She sticks them to the above stove microwave with the magnetic backs and just uses them there as needed but likes that she can take them with her if she needs to be elsewhere around the house. Super easy to set with the rotating bezel, does countdown and stopwatch functions.
This is a great little timer. We can see it from a long way off, hear it well and the fact that it sticks to so many things because of the magnetic back is the best part. It has a super easy way of using it to. I bought 2. I'm thinking of adding to gifts this year.
The directions say to turn the dial to the right to set the timer. I turned it to the right and no matter how many rotations, the timer still says 0:00. It does do a count up to time how long something takes, but I need a timer that I can set for 5 minutes and it will count down to 0:00 and then beep. This is supposed to, but it doesn't. When I tried the count up, that did work, but I could not get the dial back to 0:00 by turning the knob to the left as the directions indicate. I had to take the batteries out. I really need a timer that works and this one fails and I have to go shopping again! This one is going in the trash as it is useless.
Useful for the classroom.
I am very happy to have found this timer. It's easy to set a time and has a nice, loud bell when it goes off. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

Well-made, solid.
Looks nice. The numbers are big so you can see it clearly.
