 Good basic timer Apr 26, 2007
By Ross A. Seymour
"rseymour10"
I was looking for a good basic timer and this fit the bill. It allows you to count up or down and shows time elapsed after the alarm rings (to see how much I screwed up the cookies).
One feature I was looking for but wasn't apparent from the descriptions or photos is how the back is set up. I use the magnet, not the easel and attach it to the stove hood. With some timers the magnet is on the easel and the easel comes out from the back of the timer. Then when you push the timer buttons, it rocks back and forth on the easel, and usually falls into the soup. However, this timer has has the easel flush with the back of the timer. When attached to the hood, it does not rock back and forth when pushing the buttons. Big plus in my book. Sometimes it is just the small details.

Works well; just what I was looking for Aug 12, 2005
By A. Hall
I bought this timer, because my husband wanted one similar to the one his mom had, with the big display and the simple, three-button operation. This particular timer was better priced than most I looked at, and I liked the extra large display. I have been very happy with it. The buttons don't stick like other timers I have used. I like the way the memory feature works, and the bonus feature that it can count up is also nice.

Nice timer May 06, 2006
By Ellie
We liked this timer. Its display and buttons were great. Its sound was pleasant. Unfortunately, the screen died when splashed with some water. Keep it dry.

 Cheaply built, not durable, but nice while it lasted. Dec 01, 2009
By Dr. Gonzo
This is a nice, large-displayed, very basic timer. The alert is sort of subdued, non-jarring, not loud as a klaxon, which may or may not be attractive to you. I had problems with my timer. It suddenly started malfunctioning and then stopped working altogether. I took it apart, and found a wire that had come unmoored from the circuit board. I've seen some cheap circuit boards, but this one took the cake: it was wafer-thin and flimsy-looking. I re-soldered the wire the gauge of which was about as thick as a human hair, barely an exaggeration! The unit functioned for a year or so after the repair before it began to go off spontaneously and all digits would intermittently display "8888", so I popped the battery and trashed it. I liked the timer, but the poor reliability and build quality would prevent me from recommending it to anybody.

If you are looking for a loud timer, this is NOT FOR YOU Jan 20, 2006
By ac
The display on the timer is bigger than most, but the sound leaves something to be desired. I wanted something loud so I could hear it from 15 feet away - this was not it. The timer is okay for when you have it next to you or 5 feet away, but not really so good when it's further than that.
