Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Units seem to work well, magnet on back keeps them on our fridge, prop-up component is cute. Comes with AAA battery in shrink-wrap that you can use right away by unwrapping it and putting it back in. Have not had units long enough to report about battery life, or about operation as the battery begins to get low (we have a different timer that gets very glitchy on a low battery though lol) Units were much louder than we required, so I had the bright idea to put a piece of scotch tape over their speaker grilles and one piece of tape was just right to bring the volume down to precisely what we needed. I guess if you're getting an inexpensive enough unit to lack it's own volume control, then "very loud" with an easy physical hack to make quieter is probably the next best thing? ;)
