JOYHILL Timers, Timer for Kids, Digital Kitchen Timer Magnetic with Large LED Display, Volume Adjustable Countdown/up Clock for Cooking, Teaching, Classroom Study, Fitness and Oven（Red）

My wife needed another digital timer that does seconds as well as minutes. This one goes up to 99 mins and is super easy to set, just turn the dial by the front. It works in an intuitive way. The magnet is strong and holdd it well on the refrigerator. It also came with a fold out stand. A well designed timer. 5 second increments are adequate for what she needed. It takes 3 AAA batteries and you do have to provide them. Fortunately, I had them on hand and was able to get it working as soon as I picked it up.

It works pretty well. I like that it's magnetic, turn to set. Sometimes it does not stop turning the time more slowly if you originally turned it quickly, so if I need 6 and a half minutes, by turning it more quickly to go to 6, it will then keep changing the minutes, rather than the seconds, even if I slow down the turning. Other issue is that to start it, it makes a beep, which I would prefer it wouldn't. I only need the beeping at the end. But, otherwise it works pretty well and does its job in my classroom.

Works for many purposes at home

I almost sent this back because I couldn't get it to move faster than 1 second at a time to set the timer. No instructions. I tried and tried. I put it in the box to return it. The day I was going to do it, I took it out and tried one more time. I accidentally pushed the start/stop button in the right sequence and turned the dial and it moved through the numbers so fast it was amazing. It works great! It's loud enough I can hear it in another room. I've had no problems with it. I'm glad I gave it one more try.

While I like it, it did not meet my needs or expectations. It is for my kitchen; it is for my naps. So, I need it to ring much louder than it does, and I wish the numbers on the face of the timer did not fade away while in use; when, during a nap, I rouse a bit, I like to look over and see how many minutes I have left for my nap.
