 Excellent timer October 6, 2009

This is my first digital kitchen timer. I have used a mechanical timer made by Sunbeam but it broke after only a year or so of use. Compare to the mechanical timer, I like this far more.
It's made in China and the quality of the plastic and the built are better than you'd find in other products made in China, but not to the level of Japanese electronics or ipod. For me, it's very acceptable.
The dimension described in the product features, detail is wrong. It's not even the size of the package but close except the thickness. Actual dimensions are (17mm x 56mm x 67mm), and it's quite easily pocketable.
It has a magnet for keeping on the refrigerator door and paper clip that also function as a stand. When you open the clip half way, it opens wide enough for a paper or a card. When you open it all the way, small metal piece drops between the body and the clip to keep it open as a stand. When flip it upside down and open the clip all the way again, metal piece retract again. The clip also covers the battery compartment when it's closed. If anything gives you an impression that this is a cheaply made gadget, the battery cover will be it.
Operation is easy enough that you can skip the instruction. It has a minute button and a second button and the number only goes up, not down. Push both to clear the number. When you stop the alarm while beeping, it sets the same numbers you put in before. If you want to start new time, clear the display first then set the new time. It doesn't have on-off switch. I'm planning to use rechargeable battery, so this is not a problem for me.
The alarm makes 4 short beeps about every second and goes for about 30 seconds. It's loud enough in my pocket and that's the way I use it. Since it's small enough, there's no excuse leaving it in the kitchen.
This is a timer with simplest function for the cheapest price. If you need more functions, this is probably not a good choice. If you are used to mechanical timer, this will give you more than you need.
Highly recommended.

I found that the timer won't work with rechargeable battery. It still uses the original battery came with it, so I'll post when it runs out. I use it several times every day.
Works well, keep it with you October 26, 2009

This timer is just as described. It's easy to use, the magnet is strong and the sound is definitely loud enough. If I had to give a complaint I would say that because the timer doesn't turn off by itself the loud noise can be annoying until you make it back to the kitchen. If that's a problem, clip it to your pants and keep it with you.

We went through several timers before finding this one. Some do too much and are too complicated. Yes, a simple timer too complicated. On one, we couldn't figure out how to clear unused time. This one is simple and easy to figure out, a welcome relief in the morass of electronic complexity.
Nice little timer March 17, 2010

I like this timer very much. It's uncomplicated to use and the magnetic strip on the back is helpful for me. I use it in the gym to time my workouts or rest periods, and there are plenty of metal objects on which to attach it. I can also see it being very useful in the kitchen or for other sporting events. I've bought two of these.
