Kitchen Timer, Chef Cooking Timer Clock with Loud Alarm, No Batteries Required, 100% Mechanical - Magnetic Backing, Exquisite Stainless Steel Body - Countdown Reminder - Silver 1Pack

I have had this timer for just under 2 years. And I love it. Sadly, it just died on me. So I bought another one. I'm not sure what that means from a review standpoint, so I will let you be the judge.The magnet is strong and holds the timer firmly in place on the hood over my stove. It's metal and looks sturdy and like it belongs on the steel hood. I'm not a fan of the cheap plastic look, so that actually matters to me.The clear "BING" it makes to alert you that the time is up carries well and can be heard rooms away, but not at all annoying.It is easy to read and easy to set with a good sized knob to turn rather than a fiddly little thing like some timers.It only lasted me two years. That is unfortunate. If I had located it somewhere less exposed to heat and steam would it have lasted longer? Maybe. But I think the fact that I like it enough to go back and buy the exact same one again says something.

it is great and looks good on our new range hood.

This timer does its job! I love that it's magnetic and doesn't take up counter or stove space. It's almost too loud but nice that I can hear it almost anywhere in my house. My kid fiddled with my first timer like this and broke it, but I happily reordered.

It's a timer. It's mechanical. It works. I guess it does what it was "designed" to do. Two glaring issues:1) The product description is a lie. "The kitchen Timer is made of 304 stainless steel," is not true. The DISK with the numbers printed on it is metal. The dial you turn is not... it's cheap chrome plastic. My Battlestar Galactica chrome Cylon toy from 1979 is made out of stronger stuff. I'd have gladly paid a couple extra bucks for a METAL dial, and I resent being lied to by the manufacturer.This is a design issue in that the magnet built into the metal part of the timer is INSANELY strong and takes a significant amount of force to remove the timer from a metal surface. If you couple that with the cheap plastic dial you'll need to pull on to remove the timer from a metal surface... well, I'm not anticipating this thing lasting long. At least my Cylon will still be around.2) The bell sound doesn't really carry. It's perfect if you're in the same room, or if you're in an adjacent (non-walled) room. Beyond that... meh. You'll need to pick up and carry the timer with you or you'll miss the alarm (but see other issue above...).Not sure why these "different" manufacturers can't make a mechanical timer that resembles an old-fashioned alarm clock... Box metal casing, easily relocated, weighted, etc. Why the magnets? All of these mechanical timers (heck, and even the digital ones) look like they're pumped out of the same foreign facility, albeit with slightly different cosmetics. Whoever is responsible for the design specs should be ashamed.My Cylon is unimpressed.

I've been using this mechanical timer for a while now, and I'm really happy with it. Here are some pros and cons:The good stuff: the ringer/bell is loud and clear, even from across the house, and the product feels sturdy andwell-built.Two things that would make it better, in my opinion:* The bell doesn't ring loudly unless you wind up the clock for at least 55 minutes. This isn't a problem for me,but I thought I'd mention it.* Some of the numbers on the dial are starting to scratch off over time. It's not a huge issue, but if I were tonitpick, that would be something.Despite some wear and tear, the timer still works smoothly and is easy to read. Overall, I think this is a greatproduct for anyone who needs a reliable mechanical timer.

Pros: It looks nice. Easy to use as long as you know to follow the directions and give it a full turn to wind it, then back it down to the desired time. Magnet is convenient. It’s priced cheap.Cons: It feels cheaply made. The pointer does not give a very precise read on what number you’re on. It’s a fat pointer that hovers near the scale. And the biggest con for me is, it’s not accurate. If you set the timer for 5 min, it will be off by a full minute. I read the directions and they give a disclaimer stating that there may be this error in accuracy. I would have been a little more upset if I paid more for it.

To be more clear than the instructions...You stick this on the fridge door. Then first turn this CLOCKWISE to the full 50 minutes and them immediately reverse direction to turn counterclockwise to the desired minutes.When using pressure cookers, I often need a fast alarm, easily, mindlessly set for 6 - 8 minutes.With this device, I do NOT worry about greasing up my phone. Or deal with an alarm that rings non stop. The device it self and the alarm is mechanical. The ringer goes off for about 5 seconds and stops.Think of this as a glorified 1950s egg timer, reinvented for 2023. The magnet on the back is very strong, won't fall off the fridge if your kids slam the door.I am super pleased with the product and price.

Nice and loud
