Cooper-AtkinsDigital Timer / Clock / Stopwatch with Splashproof Case, 24 Hours Unit Range, Silver, 2.75" x 2.375" x .75"

The media could not be loaded. Ingenius - it can sit on a flat surface with it's swing out leg, stick to a metal surface with it's magnet, or clip it to something with it's spring-loaded clamp.It can be either a Timer or a Clock; a slide switch on the back determines which mode it is in.I have it's big brother, the Cooper-Atkins FT24-0-3. That timer costs $52, is TWICE as LOUD, is much larger and easier to use when you have your hands full in the kitchen and has a flashing light. It does not have a clock though. Both are made in China.I am including a photo to show the size difference between these two timers. I am including a video that lets you hear the volume difference in their alarms (it was filmed from 20' away.)2 years later - This timer still works. I just bought a 2nd one to use in my office.

I bought the Cooper Timer in 2020 for 15 dollars and now they want 30 for it! What a joke! Don't get ripped off for such a cheap timer that stopped working after 3 years!

I keep this on my refrigerator and use it in the kitchen. It's a great little timer: logical easy-to-use button controls, easily readable display, very audible alarm, and it looks quite stylish! Takes one AA battery. You can easily set it up on a flat surface, or use the magnetic feature to put it on metal surfaces (like a refrigerator).

I am a work-at-home contractor and this has proven to be an invaluable tool for me. It keeps track of the time I spend on each project. It is very easy to use and takes up very little space. My only regret is that I didn't order it sooner. Great little timer.

pros: compact size, large display, easy to set, stands on tabletop for hands-free usecon: (for some uses) loud sound when timer goes off

It's hard to imagine no one has reviewed this timer - they've been around for years. I use them to time audio and video processes, such as playing a magnetic tape into a digital recorder to convert it to an electronic file for editing and preservation. They work well and last for a few years (unless you drop one onto a concrete floor and it lands the wrong way, which is something it's not designed to withstand). I also keep one or two in the kitchen to time cooking or baking.In both cases the clip on the timer allows you to attach it to your clothing and go do something else while the process is running. If you don't want to carry a timer around, Cooper Atkins also makes the FT24 timer, which is shaped like the metronome that musicians use to keep a beat. You can leave that one in the room where the process is running and when set at maximum volume it will notify you even if you're in the next town over from the town you live in. :-)

This was purchased because my wife requested a kitchen timer that was loud enough to overcome her hearing loss. I tested this same model at home (which I borrowed from my employer) with my wife and she thought that it had enough alarm volume for her needs. It shipped within one week. However, it was obvious immediately on testing the unit that I purchased that the alarm was barely audible to one even with good hearing. It was no louder than a timer from the dollar store. On checking with the manufacturer about this problem, I was told that the alarm was supposed to have a volume of 80 decibels. What I heard on our unit was no louder than maybe 20 decibels. So, at the suggestion of the manufacturer, it has been returned for full refund as defective. I am looking now for another timer that really emphasizes a loud alarm.

We wanted a timer with separate entries for hours, minutes and seconds and this timer fits our needs. It is loud enough to be heard over the television. The magnets are strong enough that it hangs on well too. We have absolutely no complaints about it.We use Amazon for most of our purchases and I update my reviews if anything changes with the products.
