KeeQii 60 Minute Magnetic Countdown Timer with 80dB Alarm Sound - Stainless Steel Face Mechanical Timer for Home Baking, Cooking, Steaming

Love this little gadget. It is magnetic and attaches to my stainless steel frig so I don't have to dig in a drawer to find it. It is pretty darn accurate by the minute (but not seconds). If you want seconds, then use your cell phone. I have double ovens, so am going to order another one. The main thing is the ring is LOUD. If you are like me, sometimes you forget you have cookies in the oven and wander off. You will hear this one ring!

This is a totally revised review. I had earlier rated it at 1 Star and stated that this is just more cheap crappy Chinese JUNK!!!!!!!! AND TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!! Since then I've applied for the job of Chief Village Idiot!!! Wow, did I get it wrong! After I wrote that review, I went searching for another similar type of kitchen timer. In doing that I was looking at the ratings for other models and noted that in one of the ratings the reviewer said that probably some of the poor reviews for that timer we're because the reviewer did not crank the timer to 60 minutes and then back it off to the desired time and the that was required in order to get the bell to ring. And I thought to myself you don't suppose.... and it turns out that that was exactly the problem I was having with this timer!!! When I cranked it to 60 minutes and then back to 5 minutes and let it go! the alarm sounded and I might add, sounded very loudy, which could be heard easily three or four rooms away! AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TIMER!!!!!!

I'm particular about my kitchen timers. Must be mechanical, not digital. I want it to tick loudly, so I can hear it across the room. I want to be able to read the dial position from a reasonable distance. I want it to have a loud ring so I can't ignore it. I want it to last a long time. I got everything here except that last point. After about 2 years it's still alive, but I can tell it's getting ready to fail - the tick is weak, the bell anemic and intermittent. I've gone through many timers and none of them have lasted any longer than this, so maybe that's all I should expect. I'd spring for a "pro-quality" timer that "ticks" all my boxes, if such a thing even exists, but until I find it I might get another one of these when this one finally goes to that great oven in the sky.

Bought this terrific timer almost a year ago, and it's always worked perfectly. It's reliable, precise, with a solid feel much like the old kitchen timers. I move it several times a day, and I must have been pulling because the magnet came out. I glued it back in, and when that failed I taped it, and when that didn't hold, I just used it in the counter. I came to the comments to see if anyone else had the same issue. They didn't, but many mentioned the excellent customer service.Wow. I emailed and got an immediate reply. I asked for and received information from their factory about what adhesive I should have used (2 part epoxy). A replacement was sent anyway. A simply wonderful and increasingly rare professional response.So many products turn out to be junk that making a choice can feel like roulette. This is good, simple, well-made product that works exactly as it should, and there are responsible people who stand by it. Jackpot.

Nice looking timer, put it of the fridge door (it has a magnet) at a dinner gathering one of my guests hit it and fell to the floor, but not the magnet, they just put a couple of glue drops to attach the magnet to the timer. So I re-attached the magnet to the timer with some epoxy glue (this is all external, no internal parts touched), then waited for next day. As I was making a lentil soup, I set the timer to 30 minutes ...........but checked the pot after 40 minutes wondering if I never heard the timer ringing.....I looked at the timer and it was still on the 30 min mark.....tapped it a few times but it was deceased. End of story. DONT BUY THAT PIECE OF CRAP.BUY AMERICAN MADE . The timer was made in CHINA.

The good thing is that the item fits nicely on the side of the refrigerator, which is far enough from the heat of the stove (this timer has a magnet on the back). The bad news is that it is a very small timer, with small dark numbers that are hard to read. The timer is plenty loud enough, but I have to get right up to the timer to see how much time is left. I can't tell how durable this item will be; only much use will tell. For the past 30 years I had a Seiko quartz kitchen timer that hung next to the stove and was battery operated - I loved the Seiko kitchen timer but cannot find another one so I decided to go with a spring-loaded timer. The biggest disappointment is the size of the device and the size of the numbers on the device.

I wanted a kitchen timer to use swiftly and effortlessly whenever needed, which also looked OK and which just has a classical usual ring to it.You have to turn it back clockwise the whole way before setting it at the minutes you want it on, but that's no problem at all. A really great feature with this one is that it attaches magnetically so I have it on my refrigerator and when turning it it sticks good enough that you dont need to press it against the refrigerator or anything, which is also nice. Also the ring it makes is at the perfect decibel, not to loud, not to soft and you can hear the ticking when it's in countdown in a pleasant way. And I like the design too. I have been using it for around 8 months now and no problems, so I'm very happy about it and really recommend it.

I bought a timer from this seller and I previously rated it 1 star. The seller contacted me and insisted on return the money or send another timer. I chose another timer, that was promptly sent. And to my surprise, after I searching in the manual noted that I did not crank the timer to 60 minutes and then back it off to the desired time and the that was required in order to get the bell to ring. When I did it right way, the alarm sounded and I might add, sounded very loudy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TIMER AND THIS SELLER.
