60 Minute Magnetic Countdown Timer with 80dB Alarm Sound - Stainless Steel Face Mechanical Timer for Home Baking, Cooking, Steaming

I wanted a kitchen timer to use swiftly and effortlessly whenever needed, which also looked OK and which just has a classical usual ring to it. You have to turn it back clockwise the whole way before setting it at the minutes you want it on, but that's no problem at all. A really great feature with this one is that it attaches magnetically so I have it on my refrigerator and when turning it it sticks good enough that you dont need to press it against the refrigerator or anything, which is also nice. Also the ring it makes is at the perfect decibel, not to loud, not to soft and you can hear the ticking when it's in countdown in a pleasant way. And I like the design too. I have been using it for around 8 months now and no problems, so I'm very happy about it and really recommend it.

Bought this terrific timer almost a year ago, and it's always worked perfectly. It's reliable, precise, with a solid feel much like the old kitchen timers. I move it several times a day, and I must have been pulling because the magnet came out. I glued it back in, and when that failed I taped it, and when that didn't hold, I just used it in the counter. I came to the comments to see if anyone else had the same issue. They didn't, but many mentioned the excellent customer service. Wow. I emailed and got an immediate reply. I asked for and received information from their factory about what adhesive I should have used (2 part epoxy). A replacement was sent anyway. A simply wonderful and increasingly rare professional response. So many products turn out to be junk that making a choice can feel like roulette. This is good, simple, well-made product that works exactly as it should, and there are responsible people who stand by it. Jackpot.

The ringer is good and loud enough to hear in the other room. I love the style of it and the ability to stick it on top of my stove hood or oven door. The problem is the numbers. We don't all live in model homes with large bay windows or sliding glass doors for natural light. As you can see I've gone to the crafts section and purchased glow paint and put it on numbers and the turning knob. So at a glance from across the room or from the door of the livingroom I can see the time left on the timer. It Really helps. Its just a suggestion, but the designers need to know that real people are ordering their products . I love it now. Just a tweek and it is perfect for Me.

Love this little gadget. It is magnetic and attaches to my stainless steel frig so I don't have to dig in a drawer to find it. It is pretty darn accurate by the minute (but not seconds). If you want seconds, then use your cell phone. I have double ovens, so am going to order another one. The main thing is the ring is LOUD. If you are like me, sometimes you forget you have cookies in the oven and wander off. You will hear this one ring!

My 2nd try with this timer...first one last about 2 years and stopped working. I chose it again for it's ease of use and magnet, but this time I was careful not to wind it too quickly...did not matter...this one quit after 1 year

works well have had for a long time now the dial does not stick as well

The product lasted for more than a year, it was a decent timer while it was functional. After a length of time passes, you will notice the timer get stuck and stop working properly. The device will need a little movement of the timer wheel for the gears to start moving again. While I opened it up, I found no distinct reason as to why the gears would get stuck randomly. I did notice the issue occurs more frequently when you time things for longer than half an hour. The magnetic back was dead useful as you can just slap it onto an metal surface, I mostly put it on my range in random places that was convenient. Overall it was not terrible, but I do wish it lasted longer than a year.

This is a totally revised review. I had earlier rated it at 1 Star and stated that this is just more cheap crappy Chinese JUNK!!!!!!!! AND TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!! Since then I've applied for the job of Chief Village Idiot!!! Wow, did I get it wrong! After I wrote that review, I went searching for another similar type of kitchen timer. In doing that I was looking at the ratings for other models and noted that in one of the ratings the reviewer said that probably some of the poor reviews for that timer we're because the reviewer did not crank the timer to 60 minutes and then back it off to the desired time and the that was required in order to get the bell to ring. And I thought to myself you don't suppose.... and it turns out that that was exactly the problem I was having with this timer!!! When I cranked it to 60 minutes and then back to 5 minutes and let it go! the alarm sounded and I might add, sounded very loudy, which could be heard easily three or four rooms away! AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TIMER!!!!!!

This old school timer works Well the magnet is strong , the bell when rings is loud enough , please make sure you recoil the timer knob to the fullest extent (counter clockwise ) that is all the way back to 0 Which is 60 minutes then once the Spring has been loaded with the energy it's going to need to make the rotary work point the time knob to the time that you prefer and it'll count down from that point on if you fail to load up the Spring by recoiling the timer will not work, I paid a little more for this timer because I wanted something more heavy duty or heavy duty enough especially that it's in a commercial kitchen I hope this helps future buyers understand the usage of this basic simple proven timer

Yo buscaba un temporizador para mi mamá de 90 años en el que no se le tuviera que dar la vuelta completa antes de poner el tiempo requerido, pero fue imposible encontrarlo. Y además que tuviera una alarma que hasta que ella la apagara se desactivara. Pero fue imposible encontrarlo. Yo tengo uno con esas características y buscaba uno igual de la marca del libro Joy of Cooking

Stainless looks nice on my fridge. Very strong magnet and loud sound = good quality!

Accurate timer, good loud ringer

I thought that this timer would be bigger and louder, unfortunately it looks like a kids toy.
