Average Rating:
Rating: - Easier to put in your pocket than a microwave
I will admit it; the main use I have for my microwave is as a timer. Not very sophisticated. Problem with the microwave is that you need to be within earshot of it. Same applies to my cute little rooster timer that sits on the counter.

This nice-sized timer fits in my pocket and has three settings, so if you are baking a cake and timing something on the stove as well, you don't have to set (yes, you guessed it, the rooster and the microwave.) I like the digital display as it is easy to tell the time left. A lot easier than looking at the dial on the rooster. The timer also acts as a clock. So you can set your times for the roast and the pie, use the third setting for to get cleaned up before your guests arrive.

Rating: - decent for a[n] [inexpensive] timer
I've had this for a couple of years and have been using it mostly as a clock and back-up timer. It keeps time well enough, but it's supposed to be able to run two timers at once. I haven't quite figured out how to get it to do that. Even when I set it to run both, only one ticks off-so I still have to use a separate timer if I've got two things cooking at once. Otherwise, it's decent enough for most applications.

And contrary to some reviewers, I've found the operation of this timer to be simple and fairly self-evident (with the one exception discussed above).

Rating: - Poorly made
I, too, have had nothing but trouble from this timer. It worked fine for the first month or six weeks, although as others have noted the buttons are excessively debounced and have to be pressed and held to function. After that initial period of unenthusiastic mild satisfaction, however, it began to "freeze" sporadically and, more recently, continuously. Even the kids now know how to remove the battery cover, take the battery out for a few seconds, and replace it to reset the timer. I ordered a new (different) timer today, and figured I'd stop by here and leave this review while I was thinking about it. Avoid this thing.
