3" Large Display Kitchen Timer - Digital Timer Magnetic Back Loud Alarm On A Rope- Black Cooking Timers For Kitchen Teachers Students Games Kids Meetings - Sports Timer For Workouts Exercise

I just wore out my wife's--and mine--favorite timer: a 25-year-old round, white Polder. For the past 5-1/2 months I've used it twice a day for a regimen of physical therapy exercises until it gave up the ghost. That bad boy was the gold standard of timers in my book. I chose this new timer for several reasons: ratings, the manufacturer said it is loud, it has a large screen and it came in my favorite color: black. Having used it I like the large numerals on the screen and that I can see them from almost any angle while I'm exercising. On most other modern timers the numerals disappear at the slightest angle. Second, I like the size and heft of this timer. Third, it has a magnet so I can attach it to the metal gym lockers where i work out at home. Things i wish were different: I wish it was louder. Given it is "louder" than most timers on the market today, but not significantly so. It could use a few more decibels in my book. One thing i wish the manufacturers would change on the next generation of this timer is to make the Seconds button (the middle button) a bit wider. It is on the narrow side. I don't have huge hands but my fingers are on the wider/bigger size. When I go to reset the Seconds button I often also accidentally press the Minute button--adding a minute to the time--or I accidentally press the Stop button. If you have slender fingers this shouldn't be an issue. But overall I still need to give it a 5-star review for build quality and readability. My wife liked mine so much I had to immediately order her one for the kitchen.

Excellent timer!!! Nice big display & alarm that's loud enough to alert you but not overly (frightening) loud. Sticks well to the fridge, but also has a built in stand for the counter and can also be hung. Easy to set and clear the timer.

The timer on the our microwave and range are not loud enough to hear them in the adjacent family room with the TV on. Bought this timer, and it does the job. Functions very well, and it is loud. Only problem with it is it's mechanical design. The strong magnet is centered in the back as needed, but there is no support behind the buttons. So using one hand, when you push the button the timer will tilt until it hits the microwave to stop it. Most of the time the magnet will break loose and the timer will fall. Not good! After seeing the problem, I added some shims behind the buttons so there is a hard stop when you press the buttons. I attached the shims with some good double sided tape. (However you attach the shims, just remember you will need access to the battery compartment in the future.) Now the timer is firmly attached to the microwave and there is no wiggle when the buttons are pressed. (Photos attached) They could have easily fixed this problem with shims of some sort, or by using two smaller magnets (instead of one large one) behind the buttons. Also, the magnet will probably break free from the plastic (poor glue). You can then use hot glue to reattach it (as I did). Other than the poor mechanical design, it functions great. Easy to use. Counts up or down. Subtracted one star because of their poor mechanical design.

This timer is so very useful. Thank you.

Nice and easy to use.
