12 Pack Small Digital Kitchen Timer with Magnetic Back & ON/Off Switch - Minute/Second Count Up & Countdown (White, Blue, Orange) - Perfect for Cooking, Baking, Studying & Workout Timing

Bought these to use in my classroom. Easy to use, good size, love the ability to shut them offJust what I need, they are simple to use an only an AAA battery used.These little timers are great!I have been trying to do things to help myself to keep on task and be more productive. One trick I've tried is to use a timer to do unpleasant tasks. One task I really hate is washing the dishes. Yes, it has to be done, but I hate it.First, I tried setting timer on my phone for, say, 10 minutes. I told myself "I can do ANYTHING for ten minutes!" This works, but the problem is that, somehow, I don't associate the multi-function phone with doing work. I just don't remember to set the timer.So then I thought "Let me get an external timer to see if this helps."It did! Surprisingly, having a stand-alone timer makes all the difference. It must be psychological--- just seeing the timer sitting there motivates me to start work. I learned I can get a heck of a lot done in ten minutes!Originally, I bought a different brand timer. It worked fine for a while, but then it got hard to press the buttons and it started acting weird--- like just deciding to stop timing something whenever it felt like it. (I burned my dinner once because of it.) So, then I bought these timers. I like them a lot!As you can see in the picture, the timers are fat and chunky--- big buttons, very big numbers, easy to press the buttons, nice bright colors. There is a little stand on the back so you can stand them up if you're at a table. Unlike other timers, they have an on/off button to save on battery life. Every time you press a button, there is a loud "beep." I personally like this feature. (Other people seem to hate it.). You can count how many minutes you are setting by listening without having to look at the timer. When the timer goes off, it beeps for a while-- LOUD! I like this. You can hear it from another room. Like if you're cooking something, you can hear it go off in the kitchen. I didn't have any "duds" in the box I bought. They all work.I oringally bought two of these from another vendor before I bought the 12-pack. The one small negative I would say about these timers is the the magnets are weak. Compared to the apparently identical timers I bought from another vendor, this 12-pack has thinner magnets on the back. Like, you can see the magnet is thinner. Practically speaking, this means they BARELY stay on the fridge. The magnets are JUST strong enough to hold the timer on the fridge... but if you knock the timer, it will go sliding down the fridge. Since I mostly use the timers in other locations and don't use the magnet, this is not a deal-breaker for me. I mean, they DO stay on the fridge if you don't knock them. But... if the manufacturer is reading these: You need to up your magnet game!Anyway, these little timers have made a positive effect on my life... so much so that I took 15 minutes out of my day to write a review for them! (I've given them as gifts, and they have really helped the people I've given them to as well.).Give 'em a try!I like that these are loud.Easily hear from other rooms.The timers are great. The magnets are not tht strong once the battery is installed.My kids love these for timing themselves for math and reading fluency practice. It let’s each student keep track of their own progress.The only problem with these is that the magnets are so weak they don’t stick to anything and then the glue holding the magnets loosens up anyhow.These are super easy to use. They are super intuitive to use. They function very well.The only thing that surprised me about them is that the timer alarm only sounds for 2 minutes once it rings. This can be kind of a problem if you're going in and out of the room or even the house and are waiting for the timer to go off. It very well may have - for 2 minutes - while you were outside and then you missed it.I think for a timer like these, they would be better if the timer went off indefinitely. Since they only serve a singular purpose, it doesn't seem necessary to me to limit them. But perhaps market research shows that people prefer a limited timer so I'm still going to give it a good rating.Yo los compré para mi taller de cerámica, al buscar temporizadores me envió a accesorios de cocina y si, realmente me sirvieron para mi trabajo, son fáciles de usar y serviciales para mis propósitos. Su tamaño es ideal para el lugar de trabajo. Hasta ahora han funcionado bien, mas adelante ya veremos. Éste articulo está bien pensado, porque no necesitas mas que eso para retroceder el tiempo, los mas caros tienen otras funciones que para mi no me sirven.I will use them in my restaurant.Excellent item.
