Far superior to anything you'll find at your local Walmart! Dual channel count down / count up timer, and it's LOUD. The magnets hold it securely on any steel surface. This timer is well made. It has an adjustable volume with 4 settings ranging from silent to "Screaming Loud." I bought this for my mother who has some hearing loss to the point where she has trouble hearing the lower volume levels of standard timers, especially if she was out of the kitchen. This one, we can hear very clearly. The LED display is clear and easy to read by anyone who isn't visually impaired. It's a little dark from a distance, but the blue backlight lights up whenever you touch a button on the timer to make it very clear to read.. This timer is also a clock with day / date display. There is a toggle switch on the back that switches between clock and timer mode. This counts hours and minutes, I believe. I don't think it counts seconds, but that wasn't a feature we needed. The timer beeps when buttons are pressed to set it, and I presume that's why it has a volume "Off" setting. I bought this timer to replace the discontinued Acurite #00531 which had a large display and adjustable volume and was an excellent timer for 10 years but got accidentally dropped and broken. This Thermopro looks exactly like the advertising photos show, so I'm not adding photos to my review.Read full review

The "loud" alarm is very shrill and unpleasant, even at the medium volume. The directions to set the timers are unnecessarily complicated. They could have eliminated the clock and calendar functions entirely in order to make the timer settings more intuitive.

I bought this timer because I wanted at least 2 alarms and liked the idea of a volume control. As promised, the sound is loud enough to hear from another room. It continues counting up so I know how long since I missed the alarm. So don't forget to turn it off. It comes wroth 2 batteries. The unit is easy to use and comes with a strong magnet and good kickstand for the counter top. Stays in place both ways. While I would have liked it to be a little smaller, the size makes for easy reading across the room. The timer looks sleek with its brushed stainless-steel exterior. Great price. Arrival was timely though all mail/shipping methods seem to have been greatly delayed for months.

I paid more for this product than I had for similar products bought previously because cheaper products often gave out after a short time or just didn't perform adequately. So I bought what I hoped would be a better quality product and that has turned out to be the case. You can use 2 timers on it simultaneously and the timer bell is loud enough that I can hear it even if I'm not right next to it when it goes off. I like the fact that you can set how loud you want the timer to be when it rings. It's sturdy and seems well made. My only criticism would be that if I wanted to do seconds for setting a timer, I can't do that. You can only set hours and minutes on it. But I'm still entirely satisfied with the product.

Bought for my wife, and she loves it! She likes the dual timing, and the Repeat function is great for making follow-up cookies. The display was large and clear and be renamed for the clock/date as well, and she likes the magnets for sticking the timer to the refrigerator. Overall, there are great parts to the instrument, and we would recommend it.
