Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: - inexpensive - loud-ish alarm - simple - AAA battery - strong magnet on back Cons: - 1hr 39min is the longest time that can be set - not the highest build quality - only one timer - how durable will it be?? This is a no-frills kitchen timer. It hits the essential points and a good price point. Most importantly the alarm is loud enough that you can hear it from another room. I also like the fact that the magnet on the back is larger than most and has good staying power on the fridge. My last time would slide down the fridge. I do wish it could time longer periods than 1 hr 40 min. This makes it not usable for slow cook recipes. The build quality isn't great. The display does flicker if you push the buttons firmly. I don't know how long it will last, but I will put it to the test. I got it mostly so my kids can time themselves for cleanup time. It will be abused for sure! As another reviewer mentioned it does "beep" each time a button is pushed, but my previous timer also did this. I don't find it annoying. If you found this review helpful, let me know with your vote. :) UPDATE: It has been over 3 years since I first wrote this review. The timer has been dropped, squashed and otherwise used and abused by three kids. IT IS STILL KICKING. We lost the battery cover a while back, but the batteries stay in pretty well even without the cover. I can recommend it even more than before.
