Love This Timer!
"I first got a Red one some years ago, but it was dropped on the ground and never quite served us as well after that, so I finally got around to ordering another, this time in Blue, and it's doing the job I always wanted it to do: warn us when something that was cooking in the kitchen needed attention if we were elsewhere in the house. Plus, since our laundry machines are in our garage (in north central Florida), it alerts us to when laundry is finished. (With the kitchen-to-garage door closed, it's hard to hear the machines' timers going off. Can't miss it anymore with this LOUD timer! No excuse for wrinkled clothes left unattended). Life seems to have gotten back to normal now! Hooray! Thank you, ThermoWorks for making such great products!"
best timer ever
"As I am hearing impaired, this is the only timer I can hear when I'm in another room in my small house. And that's only with it set at max volume, which leaves other "loud" timers in the dust. Thanks, ThermoWorks!"
best timer
"I havent opened the new timer yet. I installed a new 9volt battery in the timer i have for a few years. use it all day long for taking meds, cooking, baking or waiting for somethinh. HIGHLY RECOMMED."
Big and loud timer
"Love it! Use it daily as well as the second one we keep in the kitchen. It’s amazing how many times I’m needing both at the same time. I’m also a stickler for timing my tea brewing."
Second One
"The Extra Big & Loud Timer works well in the Kitchen. However this is my second one. The first one broke after 11 months. Some of the numbers no longer worked."
Very nice
"All in all, it is a great product. The caveat is that our dog can’t tolerate the sound. Too loud! We will take it to the beach and use it there! I love it!"
Large, Loud, Easy to Set
"Saw this at someone's house and purchased one for myself. It has a loud alarm so I hear it anywhere in the house. It is easy to set the time by pressing numbers (30 minutes is 3-0-0-0 not tapping one button 30 times)"
LOVE IT!
"Best timer ever! I use it for EVERYTHING from cooking to watering to even as a sleep alarm (because it’s so loud that I can’t sleep through it!). Buy it!"
"It works but it’s always on so you can only turn off the alarm but the display always stays on, so im guessing the battery life will suffer"
too big but still great
"I love the simplicity but could stand it being half the size."
