VOCOO Digital Kitchen Timer: Large LED Timer with Magnetic Countdown Timer with 3-Level Volume and Strong Magnet, Easy to Use for Elderly Kids (Batteries Included)

I love everything about this timer. It functions well, is easy to use, the sound can be dimmed or muted, the numbers are huge and bright and easy to read (most digital displays are hard to see in certain light but this one is very clear), it's very attractive and quick/painless to operate for someone with arthritis.It turns itself off after use so that the numbers are no longer visible and the battery doesn't get drained, but the minute you touch the dial to set it, the display immediately lights up again and is ready to go.Really happy with this purchase.

Lo recomiendo, hace lo que debe de hacer. No es de materiales premium pero aún así esta super bien.

I bought this digital timer after a mechanical one that I I own and love just stopped ringing after a couple of years. After reading some of the reviews, I decided to go with this one. Hopefully, this timer will be more durable than the mechanical one.On my old timer, using was as simple as just turning the knob to the desired minute number and letting go. When the time elapsed, the bell would ring.What intrigued me about this timer is it works on the same idea. Instead of dialing a knob, dialing the outer ring to a desired time sets the time. The depressing the face for a click starts the alarm countdown. The timer not only sets the minutes but also seconds so one can get to very precious settings. The settings are done with one outer ring for both the minutes and seconds. A fast turn sets the minutes and slowing to almost stop or pausing then turning slowly sets the seconds. There is a little bit of hit or miss involved at first and getting used to to get the timer just right. I practiced a few times setting to 10m 00 seconds and found myself overshooting a bit, then backing up (turning counter clockwise) until reaching the proper time. They key I think is to first turn to set the minutes, the pause like a 1/2 second and turn to set the minutes. The timer also works as a stopwatch but I haven't really tried that as my main use of this timer is as a kitchen timer for cooking.The timer is made of plastic is is about the size of a hockey puck. It takes 3 AAA batteries which were included. The batteries easily fit into the battery compartment and there is a door that easily covers the batteries and is easy to remove with a finger. No need to use a coin or take any extra effort.On the back there's a rubber pad that also is magnetic. It serves 2 purposes. First, to not slide if placed on a smooth surface. Second, to stick on to something metallic like a refrigerator. Even with the rubber pad, the magnet is strong and the timer's body doesn't move when the outer ring is turned.The timer has settings which you can set to how you like it to perform. It can be set to econ mode to conserve batteries but not have the LED on all the time. There is a ring volume selection for mute, low or high. I wish there was a setting to set minutes only and to set the alarm to turn off automatically at a shorter time. The only time is 60 seconds if you don't manually stop the alarm beep.I see a trade off with this timer over the mechanical type. One is there is more turning involved with this digital timer. For example, if I want to set the timer to 50 minutes, there are more revolutions needed than a simple mechanical timer. But on the other hand, this offers more precision being digital.Here is what I like an dislike of the timer:Likes:-------- dial set for setting time- easy to read numbers- easy battery replacement door and battery holder- loud beep- digital minutes and seconds offers more precision if needed- attractive and serves as a conversation piece- won't slide of smooth countertop and has strong magnet for sticking on refridgeratorDislikes---------- no way to set only minutes- no way to set shorter beep duration- not as simple to operate as mechanicalI give the VOCOO Digital Kitchen Timer 5 stars.

Super útil, funciona bem, tem um som alto pra não precisar que a pessoa esteja na cozinha o tempo todo. Como ele tem ima, dá pra prender na geladeira, microondas, etc.

Alles gut!
