Pretty good mechanical timerNo fancy bells and whistles, just a straightforward mechanical timer, easy to use and to read. As others have pointed out, you have to turn the face clockwise past the 55-minute mark, then counter-clockwise back to your desired setting. One star deducted because it’s not nearly loud enough. If I’m not remaining in the kitchen, I’ll bring it with me into the other room so I can hear the bell when it goes off.

BUY THIS BEFORE THE SELLER WISES UP!This is a steal. If you are considering a timer, stop reading, add 4 to your cart, and buy it now. It is that good.At the time of this review, I bought this product at $8.58. I purchased the “big” version.I bought this device to use as part of the Pomodoro Technique. By comparison, I previously had a $6 timer I got from Kroger. The tick of the timer is soft, but present. In my entire Amazon shopping addiction, I have rarely purchased something so delightful to use that I tell others about my purchase.Sure, I encourage other people to buy items. What I am trying to say here is that this was so delightful, I turned into that guy who has to show everyone pictures from a photoshoot he did of a broken lamp. They probably don’t care, but I am so delighted I’m going to annoy them with a full 3-act play about how delighted I was.Pros:+ The timer is on the upper half of the device, so you don’t have to rotate the device every 10 minutes to see the remaining time+ The timer visually shows you (through the color red) how much time you have remaining+ Every material feels nice. From the metallic ring you twist, to the softly textured plastic base, this product was designed to be used and enjoyed+ Attention to small details (arrows to show the direction to twist, protective plastic to keep the screen from being damaged during shipping, good contrast in ink+ The magnet works. I don’t know about your experience, but I’ve bought kitchen timers (especially those with the audacity to pretend they can also function as a clip to hold papers to your fridge) and the magnet was not strong enough to hold the device up. This one can. This one is good enough that I can quickly slap a 3 page recipe on top of the crayon drawing of a dragon I made when I was 5, and the time holds all 4 pages up. I think 4 pages is the perfect limit: the magnet is strong enough to stand up to routine fridge use, but weak enough to not interfere with your neighbor’s pacemaker. Life is about balance.Cons:- The Timer isn’t heavy enough for me to set the time with one-hand when it is on my desk. If the manufacturer fixed this (and scaled up the magnet strength accordingly), I would give this 6/5 stars.- The Timer doesn’t keep me from making bitter coffee. I’m beginning to think that is unrelated to me not marinating the coffee beans for long enough, and may be a flaw in my recipe.Summary:If I was the seller, I would be selling this thing for $15. If they were able to fix the first drawback, I’d pay $20 with a smile.

Just what I needed and expectedThe dial is easy to read, and the sound is loud enough to hear in the next room – even when Hubby is watching the TV (usually exceptionally loud).

Perfect for a classroomI love this timer! The red film makes it really easy to see how much time is left on the timer. The alarm is not too loud — perfect for special needs students. The alarm is also long enough to be heard, but not too long as to detract from the timekeeping. There is a faint ticking sound when it is activated, but I honestly could not hear the ticking unless I was seated right next to it. I purchased this timer primarily because it does not use electricity or batteries, so I don’t have to worry about it quitting on me. It is slightly student-proof; unless you know that you have to wind it all they way to the end and then move it to the desired time, it will not count down.I love the magnet on this timer. It is strong enough to stick to my whiteboard without sliding- a problem that I have had with other magnetic classroom tools. This timer is not overly large — my hand fits easily over the face — but it is not tiny, either.Overall, this timer is fantastic!

Great productEasy to read and use. However, it broke after about 10 months of use. This is likely because a child has used it occasionally and dropped a time or two. We really liked the product while it lasted. Accurate, easy to read and set. This is a great way to motivate a child and help them understand the concept of time. “we are leaving in 5 minutes when the timer goes off”

No bell function.The timer works well. The bell function doesn’t work at all.It seems to be missing the spring to make it ring when the timer reaches zero.I can shake it and tell there is a clacker but it’s loose in there as nothing is keeping it under tension.Best to find another timer instead of this one.

Great timer for ADHDI bought this timer to help me keep on task while I’m working. I have inattentive ADHD and a rather dull job, which is a bad combination. To make matters more difficult, I recently took a job that allows me to work from home. The trouble (for me) with working from home is that there is no threat whatsoever that a co-worker or manager is going to walk by and say, “It doesn’t look like you’re working very hard.” So it is pretty easy for me to get distracted and fall behind. I chose this timer both because it has a ticking sound and the visual impact of the disappearing red as my budgeted time runs out. Between the sound and the visual, it helps me stay focused a little better than I would without it.The back is a soft non-scratch material that doesn’t seem magnetic… but it definitely is. I would definitely buy this again.

FUNCIONA PERFECTAMENTEEl temporizador funciona perfecto, en un principio me preocupé ya que creí que no funcionaba pero trae una pequeña hoja de instrucciones y aunque está en inglés explica como funciona. Por el modo en que se usa algunas personas podrán creer que no suena, pero suena bastante fuerte. Por cierto el imán que trae también se nota potente y se adhiere muy bien a las superficies. Si tienen dudas de como funciona en youtube hay videos que pueden servir.

works fantastic as a count down timer for young onesWe needed a visual egg timer for our 3 year old who isn’t quite there yet with numbers over 10. This timer shows a red “pie” that slowly shrinks as it counts down – She knows as it gets smaller, she has less time.The quality is great and the magnetic base is strong. I wish there was a slightly flat side so you could stand it up on a table, but other than that, this product fits our needs perfectly and has been getting supper time back on track!
