Searon 3.07" 60 Minute Round Visual Analog Timer Countdown Clock for Kitchen Classroom Meeting Kids Adults

I have my computer in a different room than the kitchen. You know where this is going! Burned dinner! Using this timer has eliminated that.I will admit I bought this particular one for the colour. It's a very nice turquoise/teal. And also it is a simple to use crank and go timer, like my grandmother used to have. No fussing with buttons to set it, which I like, no worrying about batteries, it works on a spring. Just twist it over to 60 minutes and reverse it to the number of minutes you want it set for. It also has a nice large magnetic backing, that will stick to any iron based object.Well worth the money.

I had this timer for a couple of months. Over two months I found two main issues:1. Did not keep correct time. Lot of noticeable fluctuation in counting time. I should've taken measurements but from what I remember upto 5-10 mins error in a 55 minute timer.2. The adhesive between the magnet and the rest of the timer was weak. One day without touching it, it just fell with a very loud bang from the fridge to the floor. It worked even worse after that.It's not worth it. Try something else.My previous review below:This thing is humans being clever. :) The red, how-much-time-is-left visual feedback is something I never thought I needed until I saw this. I attached the timer to my fridge (which attaches nicely, thanks to the magnet). Then I go and do other chores around my apartment and all I need to do is look at the timer to roughly see how much time is left. The timer alarm is louder than my microwave timer alarm but not so loud as to disturb the neighbors. Also, the alarm sounds for a few seconds and then shuts off instead of sounding indefinitely (which many microwave timers do).One thing to note is that you will hear it tick. I have a tiny studio apartment and everywhere I go, I can hear the light ticking of this timer. This is not necessarily annoying and I can get used to the rhythm eventually.The timer attaches nicely to my fridge.

This timer is what I expected, It looks just like pictured. Timer is loud enough without being obnoxious. My only complaint is the magnetic sticker on back is not reliable. I had mine stuck to side of refrigerator and the timer fell off one day - the magnetic sticker was still on the fridge, but the timer was in the dog water bowl. I was able to put sticker back on, but now have no confidence that it will hold, so it goes on the counter. Seems to still work.

I bought two of these timers. One of them broke the first time I set it. The second one worked well a couple of times, then it fell apart! The timers have a fairly strong magnet on the back, and I had it hanging on my fridge by the magnet- the clock face and entire mechanism fell off the magnet.The timers are nice looking, but I didn’t actually want a timer to hang on my fridge and never try to use... and even if I HAD, it fell off of its own accord.

Update from earlier review...The problem is the magnet. Worked great at first. Problem seems to be the way it is attached to the timer. After the third time, surprised it still worked! I was left with the magnetic piece on the refrigerator and the timer on the floor. I tried several different methods of attaching the magnetic part, without success. The timer itself is round, so it will not stand up on its own. Also the ring is a little soft, I previously had a "loud ring" one in gray/silver from Amazon by another company and will definitely buy another one of those. This one is basically useless now. I use it every day, so I am disappointed,

Easy to use. Cute and the magnet works so well. It’s also great for my 3 year old to visual see time passing when we cook or sit in time out.Update: this broke in about 2 months. It lived on the fridge but was dropped once where the front came off. The red would never line up again and the timer would continue to run and the alarm wouldn’t go off. I wouldn’t recommend this if you have a toddler because they will probably break it instantly.

Worked great to keep my 8yr old on track, easy to use for him. But although it was barely used, it stopped working after about a month from purchase so can't return. The magnet on the back also came off a couple of weeks after purchase but I already anticipated that based on reviews. Still gave it a chance though but it's not really worth it if you'll have to buy a new one every month :(

Great sturdy little timer! Quiet, accurate and easy to use. Love the vivid blue color. Very cute on my fridge.
