Timers for reading class
By Teacher123
The timers work fine (it's been 3 months). I bought 8 for my reading class for timed readings. The beep is not too loud, at least it doesn't seem to distract the students. I like how it counts up and down, which most timers don't have. It's also great that it counts up to 99 minutes. The Pyrex timers only count up to 20 minutes. Definitely would recommend it.

Timer used in school
By Mary C. Peters
Great timer for all sorts of purposes. I am using this timer to obtain my students' reading rate as they read orally. It is easy to teach them the formula and how to use the timer to get there. I purchased this particular timer as it counts both up and down and it was at a decent price.

Great Little Timer
By Skippypup
I'm not sure why others have given this little timer such poor reviews. I have owned 3 of these timers and have liked each one. I'm now purchasing 2 more. I use one in my classroom, use one for baking at home and my daugher uses one for timing her homework, husband uses one for timing while he grills. There are so many uses and many, many times I've had more than one going at a time to time various foods that are cooking but need different timers (which is why I'm ordering more). I have NEVER had any problems with these timers and I've dropped them on the floor alot too. The magnet is strong and it doesn't spin on my frig. I love it's size since I can put it in my pocket while I'm doing other things and waiting for the timer to go off. Personally I like the fact that it resets itself to the previous time, this is very handy when grilling and a feature that my family uses constantly.
All in all this is a very nice little timer. Basic, easy to use, and holds up well.

Great for the kitchen, workout room, or home shop, this small digital clock/timer is useful in counting down cooking time, timing circuit training exercises, or tracking paint or wood glue drying time. No bigger than the palm of a hand, the timer is magnetized to stick to a refrigerator or stovetop or, alternatively, hangs via a clip or mounts onto a table with its wire stand. The large 0.7-inch LCD screen is easy to read and displays the current time in hours and minutes. When set for timing, the instrument displays in minutes and seconds and times up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, which is ideal for monitoring cook times on dishes that require slow cooking, such as braised meats. The timer counts either up or down and emits a beeping noise when time has elapsed, which is easily turned off by pressing the Start/Stop button. The timer runs on a single AAA battery (included), and Taylor ensures complete accuracy in its readings through a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
