KTKUDY Digital Kitchen Timer with Mute/Loud Alarm Switch ON/Off Switch, 12-Hour Clock & Alarm, Memory Function Count Up & Count Down for Kids Teachers Cooking, Large LCD Display, Strong Magnet (Black)

I've tried a few of these types of devices, as I like to put things in the oven and then take timer with me to another room to remind me when to go out and check the oven. Previous ones have been a little too flimsy, and have fallen apart over time. This one works reliably for me. I'm careful not to just throw it around, because it is just a light plastic device and it can break, but the back stand has survived. The magnets are still in place on the back and its stick to metal surfaces at least horizontally, because honestly I don't want it to fall off a vertical surface. The buttons are fairly intuitive to use once you've read the instructions. The one issue I accidentally had with it was pushing the buttons so fast, I fumbled and turned on the alarm function and the thing went off at 12AM in the morning. I'd lost the manual and didn't know how to turn it off, but some some searches quickly gave me the instructions on turning the alarm off and its all fixed. The battery seems to last forever. I've haven't changed mine yet. Caution: the alarm does NOT ring forever. It will stop, so if you don't hear it and respond, you may not realize it has gone off already.

Using on a Nordic Track in count-down mode. Nice, big-bright characters. Nice that uses AAA battery. Memory feature nice for our application. Magnets seem sufficient plus. Hopefully battery life will be as advertised.

I admit I purchased because of the cute color. It works fine but for twice the price as others. I didn’t need the multi functions and I had to go purchase a AAA battery. I will use it regularly though.

The very readable display and intuitive controls make this Timer so easy to use!

PROS: * Loud alarm * Easy to use * Large numbers * Has three modes: countdown alarm, regular clock, alarm clock * Auto-memory function remembers last setting. Does not "go to sleep" as reviews indicate of an older version. * The alarm feature is nice and not present on a lot of timers. CONS: * No memory button to store a set memory. It only remembers the most recent setting. * The on/off button is intended to conserve the battery, but if you turn it off and back on the clock has to be reset again. So in truth the on/off button is useless unless you're planning on storing the item... in which case simply remove the battery. * The super-thin magnets are recessed into the clock, making the magnetic grip weak. There was no need for this; they could have designed the recesses to be more shallow (or the magnets thicker)... or put a shim behind the magnets to make them stick out more. My solution: glue on a stronger magnet. * Cheaply made-- cheapest of styrene plastic. Stand is flimsy. Would I buy it again? Yeah, probably would. I needed a loud alarm and large numbers and this qualifies. There are probably equally good timers out there, but there's no way to estimate the beeper volume until it's bought. This one is loud, which is what I wanted.

Love it! I especially wanted a timer with a dedicated clear button as I have had timers where you have to press two buttons simultaneously to clear and they are very problematic. I have thrown them away in frustration. This has a loud alarm and also the option for silent (which I am not sure I would use). It is very nice that it can also be a clock and easily set to the mode of timer when needed. Didn't think about using my kitchen timer for an alarm clock, but may just do that. Also, I am thinking this would be a good travel clock having added versatility. Multi-functional is good! No problem having to put my own battery in. The cost is reasonable. Am purchasing additional ones. Recommend!

After 45 days the KTKUDY Digital Kitchen Timer stopped working. I contacted “[email protected] “ and received the hassle free replacement. (As advertised in description) The replacement did not cost me any money! The second replacement did not cost me any money. It is best to use two timers at the same time to be certain that one will work properly!!! I used the KTKUDY Digital Kitchen Timer for 43 days, minimum three times a day, turning it off after each use as a down timer; then I turned it on and it did not boot, I turned it off then on and it booted normally. The next day I had it set for 15 minutes, when I pressed the start button, it turned off and would not boot (nothing on the display screen). I tried again a few hours later and it started working normally. Then when I started using it again it stopped working. Then the next day it started working again and continued to work the next 7 days, but, the display is dimmer and the alarm is no longer sounding, the down timer is working. The battery is good, the battery cavity inside the timer is perfect. After 53 days it stopped working permanently. This is the third timer that died before it got to be two months of on & off daily use. I read other reviews on Amazon, a lot of similar failures did happen the same way the three timers I have; these three died slowly, coming back to life for a short period of time. Obviously there is an electrical component defect; I own other electrical devices and do not experience such early failure of the electronics. All three timers would have passed the final test at the factory because all three worked perfectly for less than two months. The design is nice, what is needed is better quality components.

1 AAA battery. In timer mode it counts either up or down, by the second, as long as you don't turn it off. Apparently timer is limited to 24 hours.(we'll see how long the battery lasts, it was delivered just today). Super easy to use/set. I think that it's a bargain for the cost.

24 hour timer with large numbers and a loud timer. Exactly what was wanted!!!
