5.0 out of 5 stars Great mechanical timer! Make sure to wind it to 60 min first! June 20, 2012

Important note*** Make sure when using this timer to wind it to 60 minutes first, then turn it back down the the time you actually want. I have had no problem with mine using it this way, and ensures that it counts down accurately and gives off a loud ring no matter what. It's just like winding up a clock.

This is a great and fun kitchen timer. I highly recommend it!!! I have had no problems with mine, even just counting down only a minute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and clever kitchen timer January 24, 2013

This timer is part great design, part functional kitchen timer. The idea is cute and creative--a timer made to look like a combination for a safe--great mash-up!

The red part is made of rubber. This material was probably chosen so you can grip it easily when turning it. When using it you will have to turn it *all the way around* to wind it up, then you can set it to whatever time you like.

I've read complaints about the magnet not being strong enough; it's true, the magnet really should be bigger on the back (I'm not sure why the designers skimped this material), BUT I have discovered that if you push *against it* while turning then it stays stuck to your fridge. You will just have to practice turning it to get the hang of turning it without having it move around. The magnet meets the minimum requirement to not fall off.

The other complaint I've read about is that it isn't very loud. This is true as well. If you are in another room, you will most likely miss the ringing. If you are in the same room, you will not miss it. The ringing lasts about four seconds which is not very long. My other timer rings for a full minute before stopping (but that one is battery powered).

As for time accuracy, I measured it with my other kitchen timer along with an iPhone timer, the results are both analog kitchen timers were about 5-10 seconds behind the digital iPhone timer. If you want accuracy get a digital timer. For those that are pretty good at cooking and use a timer as a guideline, and want a cute timer, then this item for you.

Recommended. It's a great conversation piece and will go nicely stuck on your fridge or stove.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Disappointing August 10, 2012

By Ricardo L. Larrabure

While quite accurate, the ring on the device is very muffled thus leaving the radius to the device limited. Or, one has to carry it to a location of some proximity to where you are expecting to be at the time the device goes off. In summary, nice design, magnet works effectively, but bell ring could be considerably louder.
