Time saver for me !
This kid timer is a perfect timer for my daughter who uses it for screen time everyday and she likes the color and the easy operations. The lights also indicates the timer is one and alarm is loud. She used to ask me to time for her and now it saved my time.

Great Idea and Probably Very Useful for Others’ Needs…just not mine
This timer is great in theory and function, but it just misses the mark for the uses I bought it for. The item description is clear, but I think I just didn’t realize how it would play out in practical application. First, I love the idea of the color-coded 15-minute chunks of time, going from “eh, we have plenty of time” brown to “time to freak out, focus, and get it done!” red, with green and yellow in between. The problem I realized with my children (7 and 9) is that anything outside of the red zone feels like an eternity to them, so they don’t stay on task. They do best with activities broken into 10-15-minute chunks of time. That brings me to the 25-minute/5-minute timer function: I think 25 minutes is just way too long for some children to focus on one particular task, especially if it’s one they don’t want to do. This amount of time is probably more appropriate for older children and adults. Additionally, with no visual to tell you where you stand within the 25 minutes, it’s easy to sort of “get lost” in the cycle of beeps. Last, I am bummed that the 15-minute segments of color don’t line up on the 15, 30, 45, and 0 minute marks. It’s a little thing, but it makes a big difference when you’re trying to get your kids to buy into a new system. Overall, I think we’ll continue to use this as a backup timer, but our less fancy timers will still be our go-tos.

cute, limited function
This timer is cute, and my ADHD daughter was excited to use it. The green on top is a button. It’s easy to use. In the visual timer mode, it has four colors, one for each fifteen minutes. You just turn the dial to the amount of time you want to count down, up to 1 hour. When the time has elapsed, the tomato beeps. There are no breaks in this mode, like for the pomodoro method (something we learned from our daughter’s occupational therapist). To use pomodoro mode, you press the top. A little green light in the upper right comes on, and stays green for 25 minutes. Then you get a yellow light for a five minute break, and the cycle repeats four times (according to the instructions- my daughter isn’t capable of sitting through FOUR pomodoros.) In pomodoro mode, the dial doesn’t turn. It would be nice if there were a more obvious visual, so she could see how much time she has left in each pomodoro segment. Also, it would be better if you could set the length of the interval. Twentyfive minutes is an eternity to an ADHD nine year old.The tomato doesn’t feel the sturdiest, but neither does it feel cheap. It runs on 2 AAA batteries, included in the box, On the back, there’s a very strong magnet. We tried sticking the timer to the refrigerator, then slamming the door. It didn’t budge. Also, there’s a foot that folds out , but it’s superfluous. It sits upright on its flat bottom without the foot.

Cute, Easy-to-Use Kitchen Timer
I got this to use in the kitchen, and I like it. It’s small, cute, and easy to use. When you turn the dial, the background changes color, with each 15-minute block showing a different shade—so you can glance across the room and instantly know how much time is left without having to read the numbers. The alarm is accurate, and it’s not too loud when it goes off (a big plus for me since I can’t stand screechy alarms). To turn it off, you just tap the button on top. It also has a magnet and a stand on the back, so you can stick it on the fridge or set it on the counter. Best of all, it comes with the batteries!

Nice, simple timer
This is a nice, simple Pomodoro timer. You can use in 2 ways, manually turning the timer knob to any amount of minutes you choose or you can short click the top button (that silences the alarm) which activates a pomodoro cycle (25 minutes on, 5 minutes off). My only critique would be the alarm is super loud and there’s no volume control, not even a normal vs loud option. The look is cute and it has helped me get some structure in my work day! I also appreciate that it came with batteries and a magnetic back so you can use it in even more places.

Cheery time tracker for those time-less people
I got this for myself as I tend to either procrastinate too much or lose track of time. The timer helps me get myself in gear as doing somethjng “for a few minutes” seems less daunting and once you get started, it’s easy to finish. The yellow color is very nice and cheery, which means a lot to someone who has issues over time. (Honestly, the clock is just a construct, why do peopke get so worked up over clock time anyway?) It’s also nice that this is loud enough to get my attention, but not obnoxiously loud. I can think of a few other people who could use one of these.
