MeesMeek Dual Kitchen Timer - Dual Channels Countdown Stopwatch with LED Display, Adjustable Volume and Brightness, Magnetic Digital Timer for Cooking, School, Classroom

It's not often I take the time to leave a review, but having gone through a number of 'dual' digital kitchen timers over the last few years, despite only getting this yesterday I've already been very impressed.Compared to the more common white dual timer style that is all over Amazon, this one is a lot bigger/chunkier, however it's rear magnets are also nice and strong, so no sliding/falling off the fridge door, unlike some past models I've owned!The display is inverted, so black on white, which I really like and find it easier to read. The larger size also means the display itself is bigger, which also helps.It's powered by batteries (supplied), but can also be powered by USB (USB-C port & cable supplied), although you can't recharge the batteries over USB. Nice option I'm sure will be useful to some, but not something I'll make use of.Operation & buttons seem fairly standard for these sorts of timers, the most notable exception being the big rotating dial on the side - this (for me) is a revelation, and makes it so much easier to quickly set your desired time. Crucially it goes up AND down, so you can reduce/refine the time without having to reset first.Oh and a final honourable mention to the included paper manual - not that I've really had to use it, but from a quick read it was unusually clear and well written - a far cry from the badly translated instructions we're normally used to!

Excellent and looks good. Large easy to read and bright. 2 timers can run at once. Minimum increments that can be set are 5 secs ie 5 secs or 10 secs and so on. Works on battery's or usb not rechargeable.

This is a decent quality, quite well-made kitchen timer, that has the advantage of being dual-channel, meaning you can set 2 x timers simultaneously. This is really handy if you have different things cooking, with different start / finish times etc. It’s a modern, up to date take on the old fashioned kitchen timers that were usually mechanical, although they were very simple and easy to use. This is fairly easy to use also though, powered by 3 x AAA batteries (included). This can alternatively be USB powered (USB C cable included). However, that’s absolutely pointless – waste of time. Firstly batteries in this type of item will last donkeys’ years (so to speak), and secondly, by virtue of what it is, you need it to be portable.As kitchen timers go, this one is pretty good. It doesn’t look cheap and nasty. The display is large, bold and clear. Once time up, there is a reasonable, but not overly loud beeping. The timer has a back-light as well, and is a not unattractive little gadget.Once you get the hang of it, it’s quite easy to use, but isn’t that intuitive. The instructions though are decent, clear, and easy to follow. Annoyingly, when setting, you only get a very short duration before display goes off, so you have to keep pressing the button (unless you’re VERY quick. When I say annoying, I do mean annoying! However, once it becomes second nature, and you don’t kind of have to think about it, that should become less.Overall, this is a pretty good (dual channel) timer, perfect for the kitchen or any other use. It’s silent in operation. The maximum timer setting is 200 minutes, which is really good, and you can also use as a stopwatch as opposed to countdown (each can be set individually. This is only a timer (no clock functions), which is really all you need and want. A decent quality timer, and good value too. It works well.I hope you have found this helpful.

Very straightforward, smooth. I prefer over my (many!) others. Recommended.

It works but I find it too complicated to use. You need to twist the button a few times until it goes from seconds to minutes. It should be straight forward.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this dual timer for my mum.She is in her late 80s and loves to cook and especially to bake.Unfortunately her sight is not so good and like a lot of people her age she struggles with technology.This will help her so much.She can no longer see the timer on the cooker so these large bright numbers are perfect. They can be dimmed of course if you prefer.This timer enables her to simply set multiple timers too, either for cooking different types of food or different stages of baking, or simply to take her tablets after she’s woken up.As she’s a little hard of hearing the louder setting works brilliantly and it’s given her some confidence back.She’s got it attached to the fridge with the magnet and already her elderly neighbours have asked about it.This may help someone like my mum with memory issues stay on track, especially if they use the timers to check off steps in a task. This can also give them a great sense of accomplishment.This dual timer can be used with a usb or with batteries and seems well made, robust and very useful in a wide range of applications.I would definitely recommend it.I hope you find this review helpful.

The media could not be loaded. Great small gadget for cooking or experiments where you need 2 easily configured timers, much better than using the phone. And the materials are high quality and LCD display is bigger than other brand so it is very easy to be read. Highly recommended
