It is sometimes hard to tell if a product is realy going to satisfy my needs by a picture or even the other reviews. I am surprised by how much I like this timer. It stands by itself, will stick on the refrigerator or any other metal surface, and best of all I can clip it to my pocket. It is also easy to set/and or change the settings. I only wish I had done this yesterday when I had a batch of cookies in the oven ~ they burned because I didn't. My only wish is that it were a little louder. Other than that, it is worth every penny I paid for it.

I payed extra for this timer to get matching stainless steel for my professional kitchen. The alarm was so quiet that you couldn't hear it over normal kitchen cooking sounds, vent sounds, etc., much less in another room. I returned it and bought a cheap $2 rotary old fashioned timer at Odd Lots - at least it can be heard - even in the living room. Does anyone test these products before they are sold to customers?

Amco Digital Timer I bought this item the first time at Stacks and Stacks. It lasted four years before I dropped it into the sauce I was cooking and drowned it. Then I purchased two more via Amazon because I missed it so much. It appears to be the exact same product, but the alarm is not as loud as it used to be. It's just enough if I am not more than 25 feet away, but the previous one was so loud I could hear in from the bathroom with the water running. For people like me, who forget things on the stove, the louder ringer would have made this a four star product. Why not five stars then? Well, it is a very light weight item - I like it just fine the weight that it is, but it is small and easy to drop (into your sauce). Still a very good item - reliable, easy to program and reset as well as long lasting with easy to replace AAA battery. I would purchase it again.

I bought this same type of timer about one year ago. My sister and friend loved it so much I wanted to get them one for Christmas. I looked everywhere but could not find it. Finally I found it on Amazon. The neat thing about this timer is that it is magnetic and can be stuck on to the fridge. This is a great product....and it makes a great gift!

The first timer was dead on arrival. I called the customer service line and the telephone rep sent out a replacement right away. No problems there at all. The second timer fell off my fridge when a friend bumped into the fridge and the timer's fall caused battery cover brake. I stuck it back on my fridge anyway. The next time I walked to close the fridge and bumped the fridge, the timer once more tumbled down for its last functional seconds before the screen went permanently blank. This timer looks cool with its finish, but cannot hold up to falls from the normal fridge height, which is right where I keep any magnetic kitchen timer.

Have had a good experience with this from before and needed an additional two.

Ordered two of these. One works great, one doesn't. It doesn't beep.
