Albayrak Kitchen Timer, Chef Cooking Timer Clock with Loud Alarm, No Batteries Required, 100% Mechanical - Magnetic Backing, Exquisite Stainless Steel Body - Countdown Reminder - Silver 1Pack

To be more clear than the instructions... You stick this on the fridge door. Then first turn this CLOCKWISE to the full 50 minutes and them immediately reverse direction to turn counterclockwise to the desired minutes. When using pressure cookers, I often need a fast alarm, easily, mindlessly set for 6 - 8 minutes. With this device, I do NOT worry about greasing up my phone. Or deal with an alarm that rings non stop. The device it self and the alarm is mechanical. The ringer goes off for about 5 seconds and stops. Think of this as a glorified 1950s egg timer, reinvented for 2023. The magnet on the back is very strong, won't fall off the fridge if your kids slam the door. I am super pleased with the product and price.

I have had this timer for just under 2 years. And I love it. Sadly, it just died on me. So I bought another one. I'm not sure what that means from a review standpoint, so I will let you be the judge. The magnet is strong and holds the timer firmly in place on the hood over my stove. It's metal and looks sturdy and like it belongs on the steel hood. I'm not a fan of the cheap plastic look, so that actually matters to me. The clear "BING" it makes to alert you that the time is up carries well and can be heard rooms away, but not at all annoying. It is easy to read and easy to set with a good sized knob to turn rather than a fiddly little thing like some timers. It only lasted me two years. That is unfortunate. If I had located it somewhere less exposed to heat and steam would it have lasted longer? Maybe. But I think the fact that I like it enough to go back and buy the exact same one again says something.

This timer does its job! I love that it's magnetic and doesn't take up counter or stove space. It's almost too loud but nice that I can hear it almost anywhere in my house. My kid fiddled with my first timer like this and broke it, but I happily reordered.

I did not put stars for accuracy, since I did not actually test it, but it seems accurate enough. And you don't need to turn it all the way to 60 minutes then back to whatever your setting is .. just turn it past your setting (so if you want 15 minutes, turn it to 20, then back to 15). The ring is longer than other timers I've used, and plenty loud. The magnet is good and strong. Strong enough to be able to set the timer without having to brace it with your other hand, but not so strong that it requires a prybar to remove from the surface. The thing is shiny. The clicking is loud enough to tell you it's working, but not so loud that it's distracting. Actually has kind of a nice ticking sound with polyrhythmic action as it gets closer to "time". The cap/handle is kinda flimsy feeling, but that should not be a real issue. No idea about longevity ... only time will tell. (Yeah, I know .. redundant). Did I mention that it's shiny?

It's a timer. It's mechanical. It works. I guess it does what it was "designed" to do. Two glaring issues: 1) The product description is a lie. "The kitchen Timer is made of 304 stainless steel," is not true. The DISK with the numbers printed on it is metal. The dial you turn is not... it's cheap chrome plastic. My Battlestar Galactica chrome Cylon toy from 1979 is made out of stronger stuff. I'd have gladly paid a couple extra bucks for a METAL dial, and I resent being lied to by the manufacturer. This is a design issue in that the magnet built into the metal part of the timer is INSANELY strong and takes a significant amount of force to remove the timer from a metal surface. If you couple that with the cheap plastic dial you'll need to pull on to remove the timer from a metal surface... well, I'm not anticipating this thing lasting long. At least my Cylon will still be around. 2) The bell sound doesn't really carry. It's perfect if you're in the same room, or if you're in an adjacent (non-walled) room. Beyond that... meh. You'll need to pick up and carry the timer with you or you'll miss the alarm (but see other issue above...). Not sure why these "different" manufacturers can't make a mechanical timer that resembles an old-fashioned alarm clock... Box metal casing, easily relocated, weighted, etc. Why the magnets? All of these mechanical timers (heck, and even the digital ones) look like they're pumped out of the same foreign facility, albeit with slightly different cosmetics. Whoever is responsible for the design specs should be ashamed. My Cylon is unimpressed.

I bought this in April 2021 to save a little counter space. It worked very well, exactly as expected, for about 10 months. Now when winding it to set, it just swings back to zero and rings immediately. It's not expensive enough to be very upset about, nor worth the time or cost of warranty claiming. But the white plastic mechanical timer I threw in a drawer back in April still works despite over ten years of use, so it's a little disappointing. This one looked nicer and it was very convenient to have it stuck to the refrigerator door.

Purchased in 2019, it has worked flawlessly. Alas, the ringer is rung its last loud ding. I am ordering another today.

I like this timer very much and use it much more than I did the countertop ones. This has a magnet to stick to your fridge, and keep it out of the way of grease and water splashes. Also keeps it at eye level, if you like. It has a nice ring, and I can hear it easily 2 rooms away. This was good purchase.

Great little timer, the magnetic grip is strong and the alarm is loud, what more could you ask for?

The Clock Does Not Work regret the money I sent you

Easy to use, sticks to my oven, no batteries needed, loud enough buzzer.

Nice and loud, no batteries, no fiddling about with buttons. What's not to like?
