Digital Countdown Kitchen Timer - AIMILAR Count Up Down Magnetic Timer Clock with Alarm Fast Setting for Cooking Baking Students

Great bit of kit! does its job well!

Great timer with many settings, you can mute it or set the bleeping to low or high. It only bleeps for 1 minute too which is good. The numbers are large and it’s colourful, so I can see exactly where it is, I have it on the freezer but it is a little heavy and does need propping up sometimes as it slides down the door!It’s better than my last timer and I’m very pleased with it.

So this is a simple timer we bought to help my kids practice their timing for exams. It's easy enough - you can set the time in simple increments and press go. If you don't set a time and press go - it acts like a stopwatch (seconds only).Some minor things - I wish it had a 1 or 5 second interval. The smallest interval is 10 seconds and, initially, I thought that would be good enough - but we've had a couple of times it'd be nicer to be more precise.I also wish you could add time during a countdown. If you are 'mid countdown' and pause for a reason - you can't put time back, you have to clear it, reset the time completely and hit go again.The next thing is that 'high' for the volume is REALLY high. Obviously it's designed for a noisy kitchen, but using it for exam timing in a smaller quiet room is actually ear piercing. Even the 'low' setting is loud, but manageable - and the switch that controls the volume is very easy to move - so we've had one or two 'ouch' moments - along with one or two 'huh - why didn't it sound' moments, discovering someone jogged the switch accidentally.But look at it this way - it's got big buttons, a good size display, it's intuitive, it's easy to use, it keeps time accurately and the price is reasonable. It's hard to argue with that.

Having lost the instructions for an old multiple timer I bought ages ago and rediscovered in a drawer when we needed one, I gave up on it. This new "Time Manager" product is SO different - it's easy to use! Buttons for 10, 5 and 1 minutes, and one for 10 seconds mean you set any time you're likely to want very easily. Push '10', then '5' once each, push '1' twice and '10Sec' three times and you've got seventeen and a half minutes set - very easy. To count up instead of down, clear the display with the Reset button (press twice) and press Start and off it goes. In Clock mode, hold down Reset until the Hours display flashes and use the Start button to increase by 1 for each press or hold down for fast setting, then press Reset briefly to change to Minutes. Press Reset again to finish. It's very easy to do and I think this is the best designed kitchen timer I've seen. Recommended.

I'd give it six stars if I could. Its so quick and easy to set the time; and the loud setting really is loud, I can easily hear this from inside the greenhouse. Even the technophobe of the house approves this one.

Easy to use and value for money. Great quality. I would recommend. Only small dislike was the magnets could be stronger.

The timer only arrived yesterday and I need to play around with it more but I immediately found it wouldn’t stick to the fridge, it just slid down. The magnets aren’t large enough I haven’t found how to set the time because whilst fitting the batteries my fingers were pressing the other side and the time has set it’s self and I don’t seem to be able to change it. The sound could be better, it’s very high pitched it you’ll definitely e able to hear itIt will do the job of timing cooking and watering the garden, I like the ten minute button, it makes adding times quicker

The screen display is a nice sizable one and it is very easy to use. Also when you are not using it as a timer it will display normal time. The alarm is also nice and loud.However, there are a couple of downsides too. If you stand it on a worksurface because of the angle you cannot see the display and will have to pick it up or tilt it backwards for a proper view. Also, the magnets on the back are useless as the timer is far too heavy for the two tiny circular magnets to hold it. So I cannot stick it to the fridge as I did with my old one. But it times perfectly well enough. 5/10
