TFADostmann Digital Dual Timer, 38.2025, longer timing, dual display for simultaneous timing, 3 volume levels, whiter

This is a great timer for the kitchen - very easy to use and with nice clear digits. In addition, the batteries last fro an incredible time. I've had one in the bathroom to time the shower and it sounds an alarm at least once a day and yet after being in constant use for several years, the batteries are still showing as good in my battery tester, so I'm well impressed on this factor alone. In fact, I've just purchased another one to use as a timer for my new electric toothbrush. Highly recommended.

I had just bought the Mudder Kitchen Timer with Large LCD Display but we found the incessant loud beeping every time a digit is added to the timer very annoying, so I looked for an alternative and chose this TFA-Dostmann dual count-down timer (Model C5080). It's quite large at 9cm wide x 8cm x 2cm and it's silent when you press the setup buttons, and as the countdown timer numbers increase. The timer comes with an 11 page English instruction booklet as it's quite complicated with its dual countdown beeping/flashing LED timers. It counts down from any time up to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. There's separate hours, minutes and seconds buttons, so not having to hit a button 60 times for each hour is a real boon. Once the countdown has completed, the timer will then count upwards showing the elapsed time since the timer 'finish' alert sounded. It runs on 2 x small AAA alkaline batteries (not supplied). The timer has a one year warranty. Its timer's case isn't waterproof, although it should survive the odd splash.The only negative I can see is that the timer gives a very bright green LED flash every 5 seconds for each channel, and that really zaps the eyes so much I can't look directly at the timer when it's counting down. However it turns to a softer red LED after the timer has sounded (with a lot of flashing when the timer sounds off at zero). In fact you can set the timer to just flash LEDs (silent), or beep quietly, or beep loudly when the alarm sounds, and unfortunately the bright green LEDs will flash for all three volume settings, plus it double flashes in sync if both T1 and T2 channels are counting down (the green LEDs are a great feature but it can set off my migraine as it's so bright). To access each countdown for setting you have to press T1 or T2, so every timer action takes a couple of button pushes as you have to select T1 or T2 first. There's also a stopwatch mode to just count upwards.The timer stands up on it's own quite well and there's a retractable leg stand for extra stability. Plus there's two magnets for sticking to metal surfaces and a lift up loop to hang the timer on things (a wall mount). The timer can also memorise one countdown time for each T1/T2 channel. This timers well built, well finished and has a rugged heavy feel to it. Other than the bright green LED flashing I really like this timer, so 4.5*. There's no clock function. This dual timer is manufactured (in China) by the German instrument company TFA Dostmann, and there's also a single timer countdown version, Model C5079.PS. The timer's case is very easy to take apart via removing the 4 small cross headed screws (with a jewellers/glasses screwdriver), but when you refit the case back on, you must push down the front S/S button as you clip the case back together again otherwise the S/S button will snag (get stuck down). I looked inside to find a way to mute the LED brightness internally but it proved too laborious to access the LEDs on the main board and so gave up. I just point the timer towards the wall instead.

Bought ours over two years ago, still working good as new.Clear display, easy to use, sticks to the fridge, fits in a pocket.And it doesn't feature an annoying clock needing resetting twice a year and when the batteries are changed, which hasn't been needed yet. (I already have four time displays in the kitchen, and don't want another.)

just what I wanted. easy to work ,good beebing. and comes in very usefull.

My old kitchen timer fell off its magnetic mount and ceased to function so I looked for a similar model and I found this. This has the advantage that it is dual channel and the two timers operate independently of each other. Both timers can be set for up to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds and count down when the start/stop button is pressed. The relative timer is selected by use of the T1 or T2 button then the time is set using the HR, MIN and SEC buttons. Once the timer has been started the T1 or T2 LED flashes green at intervals to indicate that the timer is active. When the timer has counted down to 0 the audible alarm bleeps and the T1 or T2 LED flashes red, then the timer counts up to indicate the time that has elapsed since the alarm began. The bleeper volume can be set to mute, lo or hi but lasts for a relatively short time so the elapsed time indication can be useful. There is also a memory button, M, that is used to set a frequently used time that can be recalled later. Usefully, it has three means of mounting, a magnet, a stand and a keyhole slot. It is available in black or white, though I bought the white version to better match the décor. Finally it is made in Germany so it is of high quality. Overall a very versatile and useful piece of equipment.

This sits neatly in a space on my spice rack. It works as advertised and if reliable it will be a valuable addition to my kitchen. While timing, every few seconds, the LEDs flash bright green or red if you are over the time. I'm easily distracted and this device should prevent my bread dough overflowing onto the work-tops or joints of meat roasting to a cinder, setting off the smoke alarms! UPDATE: 18 months later this is still working well.

This is a great product easy to use, double timers are really handy. Bought it to replace my old one which kept throwing itself to the floor!

Good count down times .well made.

ipv 2 timers op de smartphone in te stellen met vettige handen tijdens koken, dit vernuftig en eenvoudig bruikbare ding : had ik het maar eerder geweten, na 2 maanden gebruik : aanrader

På det stora hela en bra kökstimer!

Il Display di questo Timer è molto ben leggibile e include due contatori indipendenti, selezionabili, rispettivamente, con i tasti T1 e T2. Il conteggio parte quando si preme il tasto S/S, ma volendo può essere interrotto o riavviato in qualsiasi momento, premendo lo stesso tasto. La possibilità del conteggio doppio e indipendente è di assoluta utilità; personalmente l'ho sperimentato per cuocere la pasta, con un tempo di cottura di 12 minuti; ho impostato il Timer 2 a 12 minuti e i l Timer 1 a 8 minuti, ho quindi buttato la pasta, ho avviato simultaneamente entrambi i Timer e sono tornato alla scrivania a ultimare quel che stavo facendo. Puntualmente, allo scadere degli 8 minuti, il Timer 1 ha squillato per 60 secondi esatti, per cui ho aggiunto il sale all'acqua, mentre la pasta continuava a cuocere; allo scadere del dodicesimo minuto il Timer 2 ha squillato anch'esso per un minuto esatto, "avvisandomi che la pasta era cotta".Il dispositivo dispone di una suoneria a due volumi, uno normale e uno piuttosto forte, oltre alla funzione "muto" attivabile nel caso in cui non si voglia arrecare disturbo ad altri. Benché i gusti siano soggettivi, personalmente lo trovo esteticamente piacevole ed equilibrato. Oltre alla funzione di Timer è possibile utilizzarlo anche come cronometro. Una volta terminati i rispettivi conteggi i valori impostati rimangono memorizzati sui display ma, qualora lo si volesse azzerare, basta premere simultaneamente i tasti HH e MIN situati alla base del dispositivo. Una volta avviati i Timer durante i conteggi, i tasti T1 e/o T2 iniziano a lampeggiare in verde, mentre allo scadere del tempo impostato inizia il lampeggio in rosso e, contestualmente il calcolo progressivo del tempo superato. Il conteggio massimo ammonta a 99 ore, 59? e 59". I dati fisici del dispositivo sono: Peso = 101 grammi, circa, dopo aver inserito 2 batterie AAA (non incluse); larghezza = 8,8 cm.; Altezza = 7,5 cm; Profondità = 2 cm.; Profondità (con basetta per appoggio, ribaltabile e a scomparsa ) = 2,95 cm. - Il solo display, che include i dati, misura 5 X 6 cm. Il prodotto è pervenuto in un baleno, ben confezionato e inserito nella propria scatoletta originale, al cui interno si trova un utile manuale d'uso, in varie lingue, fra cui l'italiano. Questo dispositivo, sul retro, dispone di due magneti piuttosto potenti che permettono, all'occorrenza, di collocarlo, senza rischi di cadute, sulla porta del frigorifero o altra superficie metallica. Inoltre, sempre sul retro, nella parte alta, è alloggiato un anello a scomparsa che permette l'eventuale posizionamento a parete, previo aggancio a un chiodo. Valutando i molteplici elementi che lo caratterizzano, nonché la semplicità d'uso e il buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, ritengo che questo Timer, benché economico, sia un prodotto eccellente e davvero molto" indovinato", per questi motivi lo consiglio, senza indugi.

Produit reçu rapidement.Excellent appareil, nettement préférable au modèle 'TFA 38.2024' que j'avais acheté dans un premier temps, qui présente l'inconvénient majeur de décompter seulement depuis 99 mn et 99 s (soit une heure et 40 mn), alors que ce modèle 'TFA 38.2025' peut décompter depuis 99 h et 99 mn.En prime, il permet de programmer deux alarmes simultanément, au lieu d'une.L'alarme s'entent bien, même si on est dans la pièce voisine.Bonne fixation magnétique.

Leider hat meine mechanische Küchenuhr nach 4 Jahren den Geist aufgegeben.Da ich mich doch immer öfters eh dabei ertappte noch einen Timer im Handy zu stellen, wurde dieses mal entschieden einen Timer mit 2 Zeiteinstellungen zu erwerben.Die Lieferung via Prime war zügig und unkompliziert.Das Gerät selbst kommt sicher verpackt mit Schutzfolie über dem Display.Benötigt werden 2 AAA Batterien, die NICHT mit im Lieferumfang enthalten gewesen sind.Das Gerät verfügt über 2 Magnete auf der Rückseite, die - entsprechende Oberfläche vorausgesetzt - bombenfest halte.Des weiteren finden sich ein einklappbarer "Ständer" auf der Unterseite - das Gerät steht damit quasi aufrecht - und eine klappbahre "Öhse", mit der sich der Wecker via Nagel oder Schnur aufhängen lässt.Diese Öhse lässt sich auch noch in 90° aufstellen um ermöglichen so das Gerät auch liegend bequem abzulesen.Die Bedienung ist sehr einfach und selbsterklärend.Über die T-Tasten wird der entsprechende Timer ausgewählt, der dann via SEC, MIN oder HR (Sekunden, Minuten oder Stundenweise) eingestellt werden kann.Ein druck auf HR & MIN gleichzeitig setzt die Uhr auf 0 zurück.Die S/S Taste (Start/Stop) startet die Uhr. Wenn diese auf 0 steht läuft eine einfach Stoppuhr ohne Alarm.Sollte eine Zeit eingestellt werden, so zählt die Uhr runter und gibt laut, sobald die 0 erreicht wurde.Der Alarmton lässt sich in 3 Lautstärken definieren: AUS, LO, HI. Aktuell steht der Ton bei uns auf LO, da dies im normalen Alltag in der Wohnung gut zu hören ist. Bei einer "Party" oder entsprechender Feier mit vielen Leuten und entsprechendem Lautstärkepegel würde ich auf HI stellen.Neben dem Akustischem gibt es auch noch ein optisches Signal.Der T-Schalter neben dem aktiven Timer blinkt beim Countdown regelmäßig. in der Letzten Minuten quasi jede Sekunde, damit einem das auch nicht entfällt.Sobald die Zeit erreicht wurde ändert sich die Farbe von GRÜN auf ROT, so kann man schnell optisch erfassen, welcher Timer fertig ist.Der Timer läuft weiter, so dann man erkennen kann, wie viele Sekunden, Minuten oder gar Stunden über der eingestellten Zeit verstrichen sind.Um den Timer zu deaktivieren muss man sicherstellen, dass der richtige Timer aktiv ist (am besten die T-Taste drücken) und dann die S/S Taste drücken.Die Uhr stellt sich automatisch wieder auf die letzte Zeit, die eingestellt wurde.Sehr praktisch, wenn man z.B. mehrere Portionen von etwas zubereitet.Es muss sich zeigen, wie gut das Produkt sich im Langzeitbetrieb macht, aber bis jetzt bereue ich den Kauf nicht.Und günstiger als 2 "ordentliche" Mechanische Uhren ist der Timer auch gewesen.
