Kitchen Timer,XREXS Vibrating Alarm Clock with Large Backlit LCD Display, Count Down Up Pocket Stopwatch / Timer for Sleeping / Calculation / Cooking / Nursing / Lab / Meeting (Battery Included)

1. If you are expecting instructions with a decent english translation, you won't find it here. I have no idea what some of this is trying to get across.2. In lieu of a proper instruction leaflet, I attempted to set the timer with typical procedures found in other devices. Yeah, that didn't work either.3. At some point, I got the timer to work, but now I can't reset it for a different setting. Apparently everything I do will be a 60 minute setting from now on.

The timer seems to do all it says...except for the "silent" vibration. When set on vibrate, the sound is reminiscent of a lamb calling for its mother. Since I bought this for meditation, and expressly searched for a "silent" vibrating mode, I was at first distressed. But then I decided to incorporate the sound into my meditating! Not a big deal. Meantime, the regular alarm sound is charming: Mozart's theme and variations based on what we know as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I'm happy to say the product so far seems much better than the English in the accompanying directions.

I purchased these to use both as a clock and a timer. I never knew it also can be a toy. Toddler and baby loves to play with this, and so far it has survived their "abuse", so no complaints here. Alarm is plenty loud to hear and everything functions as it should. Overall its an excellent timer. 

Nice display and quality of build, but the main reason we bought it was to use as a timer, and it's fairly difficult to set, and I'm an IT guy! My wife struggles to use it and even my kids that are tech savvy, so you'll need to keep the included instructions handy. It makes for a nice clock, and this was the only large-display clock and timer combo that I could find. (My son set an alarm on it and it goes off every day and can't figure out how to disable that w/o reading the instructions).

Great little timer. The button lock out switch prevents your settings being accidentally changed while in your pocket. Hardly any timers, certainly in this price range do this. So you can put it in your pocket to time for example your walk and if the buttons inadvertently get pushed from being crowded in pocket, it won't effect the readings. Large easy readable numbers.

Order this for my kitchen timer, because the digit is big enough on this timer, so I can see it very well when I am busy in my kitchen. It is very easy to operate, it is a timer and also is a clock, I can check the time when I am not using my timer.

Wife needs another timer in the kitchen because the current one we have isn't reliable. She told me to find one that's compact in size, easy to store, and with loud alarm so she could hear it far away so I purchased this vibrating alarm clock with timer from XREXS for her.The package arrives with XREXS kitchen timer, manual, and 2 AAA batteries. The box and manual have both chinese and english on them. Installation is pretty simple - open up the battery compartment and insert the included 2 AAA batteries, setup current time, and it's ready to go. The kitchen timer is multi-function and there are clock, alarm, and timer mode buttons and 2 switchers for audible alarm/vibration and lock/unlock buttons on the back. There are 3 buttons in front, SET, UP, and ST/SP. Long press SET to enter setup mode and use UP to increase value, press ST/SP to confirm settings. In Timer mode, use SET and UP to set desire time and ST/SP to start/pause counting. Long press ST/SP to reset. The kitchen timer has a built in stand to hold the timing in about 60 degree angle for easier viewing. When not in use, the stand can be stored inside the unit and lay flat.PROs:- It has built-in back-light and can be activated by pressing SET or ST/SP. The light goes off automatically after around 1 second.- It supports 12/24H display in clock mode.- When using it as an alarm clock, it can have 2 separate alarm times - alarm 1 and alarm 2.- In Timer mode, it can work as a counter and a timer. I can set a time and it runs down to trigger alarm or I can start at 0:00 and let it count time.- There are 2 alarm modes. Audio alarm provides a tone which you can clearly hear it at a distance. Vibration mode would make the whole unit shaking when it goes off. The alarm would last around 1 minute unless turned off by pressing any button.- The kitchen timer is pretty compact in size. It's at around 3.5"X3"X1" and roughly the size of my palm.CONS:- The manual looks really overwhelming at a glance. I would recommend just try out the buttons to check what they do if you find it too difficult to read.- The back-light last only around 1 second and sometimes it's too short for me to check information.NOTE:- The vibration alarm is strong. Make sure you are using the kitchen timer on a solid surface otherwise you might be surprised by the vibration noise.- It's recommend in manual that when not used, remember to remove batteries.

It works...if you can figure it out. Directions are so poorly translated that we laughed until we cried.
