Refreshingly different!
It's not often I take the time to leave a review, but having gone through a number of 'dual' digital kitchen timers over the last few years, despite only getting this yesterday I've already been very impressed.Compared to the more common white dual timer style that is all over Amazon, this one is a lot bigger/chunkier, however it's rear magnets are also nice and strong, so no sliding/falling off the fridge door, unlike some past models I've owned!The display is inverted, so black on white, which I really like and find it easier to read. The larger size also means the display itself is bigger, which also helps.It's powered by batteries (supplied), but can also be powered by USB (USB-C port & cable supplied), although you can't recharge the batteries over USB. Nice option I'm sure will be useful to some, but not something I'll make use of.Operation & buttons seem fairly standard for these sorts of timers, the most notable exception being the big rotating dial on the side - this (for me) is a revelation, and makes it so much easier to quickly set your desired time. Crucially it goes up AND down, so you can reduce/refine the time without having to reset first.Oh and a final honourable mention to the included paper manual - not that I've really had to use it, but from a quick read it was unusually clear and well written - a far cry from the badly translated instructions we're normally used to!

A solid, simple timer with handy dual countdown...
Let's get some things out of the way to help your decision:* USB lead included, but this is alas not a rechargeable device - the cable is for constant power. The main wireless option is AAA batteries! This is very clearly stated in the description.* This product is only 10cm x 8cm - the product images are a little misleading... its small, but even so is very readableNow for the good stuff!* Easy to use - as either a count-down or a stopwatch - perfect for the kitchen* Magnetic: Strong enough to stick to our stainless steel wall panels in the kitchen which keeps it in the right place!* Super-loud alarm! We can hear this in the living room from our kitchen - which is 3 rooms away! However, the bonus is that you can take the timer with you as it's small + portable.Overall, not much you can say about this device aside from it does what it does very well.Recommended, and good price/ value.

Excellent
Excellent and looks good. Large easy to read and bright. 2 timers can run at once. Minimum increments that can be set are 5 secs ie 5 secs or 10 secs and so on. Works on battery's or usb not rechargeable.

Messy
It works but I find it too complicated to use. You need to twist the button a few times until it goes from seconds to minutes. It should be straight forward.

Handy timer
A good while ago the electronic timer on our cooker ceased working, whilst it didn't really affect the use of the appliance, it wasn't an obvious fix and was annoying at times, however i wasn't going to pay someone to fix it as it's one of those things that you can live without.I noticed this item listed and considered whether it would suffice, the short answer is a resounding yes.Item arrives in a branded box, includes the timer, instructions, lead and 3x AAA batteries.The timer itself is constructed of mainly plastic but appears of to be of good quality, it includes built in magnetic fittings on the rear of the unit, which enable it to attach it to any metal surface, 3X AAA batteries (supplied) are required to operate the timer.On the left hand side of the unit are buttons for Timer 1 (T1), Timer 2 (T2), Reset, Volume and Backlight.On the right hand side of the unit is a turning knob, this has two functions, pressing it starts/stops the selected timer, twisting it adjusts the increments of time for the currently selected timer.The unit has a dual display with both timers vividly displayed on the large screen, the numbers are large and easily seen even from distance, it has a built in adjustable alarm which sounds when either timer runs out.The unit affixes easily to any metal surface, i found the cooker extractor hood to be the best placement, which actually looks neat and tidy, but you will find your own location.The unit is probably best utilised with those that have a double oven, as these will usually require differing cooking temperatures and hence times, it's quite a neat addition to have the two timers for this purpose, utilising the top timer for the top oven and bottom timer for bottom oven.This makes the item more of an addition than a replacement, adding an additional timer and making you wonder why your cooker maybe didn't have the same built in dual timer functionality in the first place.Recommended

Very useful. Simple and well made.
The media could not be loaded. I ordered this dual timer for my mum.She is in her late 80s and loves to cook and especially to bake.Unfortunately her sight is not so good and like a lot of people her age she struggles with technology.This will help her so much.She can no longer see the timer on the cooker so these large bright numbers are perfect. They can be dimmed of course if you prefer.This timer enables her to simply set multiple timers too, either for cooking different types of food or different stages of baking, or simply to take her tablets after she’s woken up.As she’s a little hard of hearing the louder setting works brilliantly and it’s given her some confidence back.She’s got it attached to the fridge with the magnet and already her elderly neighbours have asked about it.This may help someone like my mum with memory issues stay on track, especially if they use the timers to check off steps in a task. This can also give them a great sense of accomplishment.This dual timer can be used with a usb or with batteries and seems well made, robust and very useful in a wide range of applications.I would definitely recommend it.I hope you find this review helpful.

It's time...
Having two timers in the same device is really handy. I like that the displays are large and bright (that's adjustable) and the "beep" is quite audible (it's adjustable too). Another great feature is the timers can count UP or DOWN and are independent of each other. The only things that are slightly annoying are the placement of the buttons opposite of the dial. It's easy to accidentally press them while holding the timer and pressing the knob. But you get used to it. The last thing is the placement of the USB power connection. It's on the back of the timer but would be better if it was on the side. Then the timer could be placed on my fridge while powered by USB. Overall it's a good and useful timer, I would recommend it.

Great timer!
Kind of expensive for its purpose but you get what you pay for because its feature packed. Yes you could use you iwatch for a silent timer but this will deter you from distractions especially when you are studying. Wish the screen is not a dust magnet but I having trouble removing dust on it. Well that’s my only gripe. Screen is very bright and readable. Easy to use, very responsive and very easy to figure out on how it works especially if you’re lazy to read the instruction manual like myself. Lol 😂 Overall a very great product and warranty if they will backed the info on the manual. Hopefully it will last.One last thing! Hopefully the company that make these will read this. Next time can you please make the outer shell aluminum or brass. I know it’s kind of expensive but some people are willing to pay more for a quality product than cheap plastic. Not saying the build quality is bad but it can be improved in my opinion. That can be a different product than this one. I really hope you guys can read this! Thank you!*it also has 3pcs AAA batteries included on the box.Again thank you so much! Hopefully it will serve me well! ☺️

Nützliches Gerät, leider nicht möglich, beide Timer gleichzeitig zu starten
Leichte Bedienung. Schöne Optik. Zahlen gut erkennbar. Während die Zeit läuft, bleibt die Anzeige hell. Ich nutze es, um die vorgesehene Zeit rückwärts laufen zu lassen und die Gesamtzeit vorwärts (hier wäre gemeinsamer Start super). Die blinkenden Dreiecke links, während es läuft, irritieren auch etwas, kann man aber abkleben. Der Alarm ist durchdringend. Die Tastentöne leider auch (kann nur beides gleichzeitig an- und abgestellt werden, gibt auch eine Zwischenstufe). Läuft mit normalen AAA Batterien. Nützlich auch: Gesamtzeit in Minuten, das macht Verrechnung viel einfacher.

Simple to use, easy to read
Trying to find the right balance between legibility, ease of use and partner approval factor. Got a small mobile phone stand and some double back tape to mount it too, so it can sit nicely on the counter.Checked all the right boxes for me
