One of the best timers I have ever had. My only complaint is that I wish this timer had a silent or quiet beep option. If it had volume options, it would absolutely be a five star timer.

I absolutely love this timer; I can use it to count down or up; which ever the occasion calls requires. I use it for timing agility runs during classes. It doesn't require a manual to figure out how to use it!!!The only drawback is it's awkward to hold because of the size (but I love the size). It needs some kind of strap in order to attach it to a clipboard. Minor drawback compared to all it's good points!Highly recommend this timer for someone who doesn't want or need all the bells or whistles of more complicated timers.

I have been searching for a kitchen timer with individual number buttons and a decent sized display for a long time. I had previously used a Polder timer, but found the buttons too small for my ham hands.This timer has all the things I wanted in a timer.The buttons on this one are large enough and spaced far enough apart so I don't get two at once. The display is large and the beep is sufficiently loud. When it reaches zero it begins to count up. It will also count up if you press "start" without entering a time. The magnet on the back seems strong enough. The belt clip, easel stand, and hanging eyelet are nice design touches. I also like the large start/stop and reset buttons.The only design quirk is the way the belt clip covers the battery cover. You have to hold the clip up while you fiddle with the cover, which is a bit of a pain if you have large fingers. Thankfully Mrs. Boilermate has small hands and is more coordinated. As another reviewer noted, the battery cover is flimsy and doesn't like to stay put. I'll probably end up taping it in place.No, it doesn't have an on-off switch, but these timers draw so little power it is unnecessary. I have used battery powered timers for years and found the timer usually dies before the battery wears out.

This timer has great features and is easy to read. The drawback I have found is the cover for the battery compartment would not stay on. I subsequently lost it and now I use tape to keep the battery in place.

Very, very easy to use. Very simple operation. The alarm "is" loud. You can hook it on a belt, hang it from a cord, stick it up on anything metal. Only drawback - no "off" button. Also - the battery that came with the unit didn't work. A great little item for countdown and stopwatch. Oh - and it was delivered to the wrong house so if you can specify a secure shipper.
