This looks s the best battery operated timer I’ve ever gotten.
This is made really well and sticks on my stainless vent hood really well. Use when im multitasking and cooking on my stovetop. This timer is accurate and works really well. I highly recommend this timer. Good if you barbecuing outside as well.

VERY GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT
I have used these timers for about 8 or 10 years now. They really work well, simply and while the alarm is a bit timid it is still loud enough. We use them at our community bake sales and we will have several of them going to keep track of our ovens. I especially like the fact that you can open the “foot” and put it onto the range hood and it is at a perfect angle to view. They even have put a piece of tape on the magnet so it doesn’t scratch your hood.

easy to use, works as advertised, almost perfect
This timer is easy to set. It can be set for up to 99 minutes. It’s easy to see the display at arm’s length. It’s easy to hear the beep when time is up, but it’s not so loud as to be annoying. It’s easy to silence it when time is up. In addition to counting down, the unit has an option whereby it can count up like a stopwatch. That’s easy to use too, and doesn’t get in the way of the primary timer function.We use ours for the kids to time their piano practice.There are 3 ways to position the unit — it has a magnet on the back so you can stick it on a refrigerator door, it has a clip on the back, and the bottom of the unit is angled slightly so if you place it on a table top (or a piano) the display will point up slightly.The only flaw is that you have to press the buttons fairly firmly for it to work. I think the buttons were easier to use when we first got it, so maybe that’s a sign of premature wear. Other than that, no issues.It uses a normal AAA battery, which is much easier to deal with than a button cell. The unit seems to stay on all the time, i.e. there’s no off button, but several months in and we’re still on our first battery so that doesn’t seem to be an issue.I recommend it for anyone who wants an inexpensive, useful, easy-to-use kitchen timer. Hope you found this review helpful.

Nice Kitchen Timer
Large and easy to see numbers, sturdy buttons, beeps loud enough to hear from another room. Takes one AAA battery. Has a clip and a magnet on the back. Reasonably priced.

After buying some cheaper brands, I’m pleased to have this timer that works well. I ran into a problem with cheaper timers, Wrenwrane, that I will never buy again since too frequently instead of getting down to zero and the alarm going off, it just starts blinking 0:00.

did not even show numbers ,even after I followed it’s directions
don’t know what I got but it does not work at all. well the next day i thought to give it another go, i checked the battery, put in a fresh one and it worked. Now in my opinion they should not put batteries in them since the battery may run out of life and then just reduce the price.

Preston and Taylor electronic timers:For many years we used a Presto electronic timer and loved it. When it went off it was loud enough to get your attention, even if you weren’t in the same room. After many years it finally gave it up so we ordered another Presto from Amazon in June 2013. It also worked great but after a little over a year it was hard to set the time and turn it on. Buttons did not want to work. I know for any modern lost cost item to last a year is pretty amazing but since the other one probably lasted 5 years it was disappointing. We fought with it but finally decided to order a replacement of a different brand. Although probably made in the same factory in China. In Dec 2014 we ordered a Taylor from Amazon. While waiting for Taylor to arrive I decided to tinker with the Presto by using a can of air and contact cleaner to see if I could clean up the internal contacts. I used air to clean around the buttons, sprayed contact cleaner around buttons, and they sprayed with air again. I did not take it apart. Next day it was working like a charm.Then the Taylor arrived. Nice timer, easy buttons for old hands but it was much too polite when the timer went off. Very soft. Like a golf clap.Bottom line: If you want a timer that gets your attention buy a Presto. And if the buttons give you problems use a can of air and contact cleaner to bring it back to life. No screwdrivers.If you want a nice polite timer get a Taylor.Comment: Amazon is a great company and if you can’t find what you need you probably don’t need it.PS It is obvious I have too much time on my hands to write this review but I’m old and it’s cold and raining outside.

Perfect size timer for everything you want!
This little timer is just perfect!!! I’m using it as a timer for foods, exercise and so much more. This is so much easier than timers that have way too many functions, when all you want is set timer, turn on and off. Great!!

I love this product so much. I first saw this at at a physiotherapist’s office and fell in love with the ease of use and volume. Now I use it to time my work outs and in the kitchen. AMAZING!

There was some delay in the shipment. The product worked as expected. The alarm was just loud enough. The magnetic sticker was okay. But when I tried to use it while it was fixed to the fudge door it fell a few times and the buzzer stopped working. Hence three stars.
