Great for Productivity
I recently purchased the Digital Kitchen Timer with a large LED display, and I have to say, it has been a game-changer for my productivity! I primarily use it on my desk to implement the Pomodoro timer method, and it has made a noticeable difference in how focused and efficient I am during work or study sessions.
The standout feature of this timer is its large LED display, which is incredibly easy to read, even from a distance. This makes it perfect for those moments when I’m engrossed in my work and need to check how much time is left on my session without interrupting my flow. The numbers are clear and crisp, and the countdown/countup is easy to follow.
One of the few downsides I’ve encountered is that it can be a little tricky to adjust the timer while it’s sitting on my desk. The dial is a bit stiff, and you might need to pick it up to spin it to the desired time. It’s a minor inconvenience, but something to be aware of if you plan to use it in a stationary position regularly.
However, aside from that minor issue, I couldn’t be happier with this timer. Its sleek silver design adds a touch of elegance to my workspace, and the magnetic back allows me to attach it to my whiteboard or fridge, giving me the flexibility to use it wherever I need it most.
One of the best aspects of this timer is its versatility. While I primarily use it for time management, it’s also great for cooking, fitness routines, baking, and even in a classroom setting. Its ease of use makes it suitable for everyone, including kids and seniors. It’s such a relief to have a timer that’s not overly complicated and can be used by anyone in my household.
In conclusion, the Digital Kitchen Timer has become an indispensable tool in my daily routine. It keeps me on track with my tasks, helps me stay productive with the Pomodoro technique, and adds a touch of convenience to various activities in my life. Despite the slight challenge of adjusting the timer while it’s on my desk, I believe the benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience. If you’re looking for an efficient and versatile timer, this one is a fantastic choice.

Great Tool
I saw this on IG and had to get it. Originally wanted to use it as a tool to keep me on track to keep me focused on tasks, and found I use it more often than i thought.
Crazy enough. I have a kitchen timer for cooking that easily could be used for the same purpose, but the digital countdown allows me to track my time. Not to mention its silent countdown.
Of course every phone has a timer on it, but when the purpose is to NOT use electronic devices, this really comes in handy.
It’s sleek look, slim profile, make it easy to carry around (and misplace LOL).
It’s easy to use, but sometimes difficult to get the minutes and seconds exact with only a sliding dial. Its a push start/stop with no reset. It only resets once the countdown reaches zero. (Inconvenient, but not a deal breaker).
One of those items you don’t NEED but nice to have.

Good timer with a sleek look
This timer does everything I expected it to. The large digital display has easy functionality and looks great on my desk. I purchased the black timer and was able to quickly start using the device right out the box. It does take three AAA batteries, so make sure you have those on hand. The only con is that it’s very lightweight and the rubber feet don’t hold it to the desktop, meaning it moves often when you are setting the time. I found it easier to pick the device up to set the time.

Great Time for ADHD
The timer has great count-down and count-up functions, it’s easy to read, easy to adjust the brightness, and volume of the alarm.
My only slight issue with it is the base could be heavily to allow you to spin the dial while it rests on the desk. When I try to turn the dial with it laying on my desk, I usually end up turning the entire device, instead of just the timer dial. This results in me having to pick-up the device, hold the base and turn the dial. Small detail, but it does annoy me slightly.

Doesn’t work consistently
A timer should be fairly simple to use. After all, its job is a simple one. Count down a certain number of seconds and hopefully sound an alarm. This timer is just wacky enough not to do any of these things well.
First, the button. The button sometimes works and sometimes it does not work. Clicking anywhere on the face of the timer produces a tacticle clicking sound and feel. Does this mean one can click anywhere and produce an action? It is hard to tell. There is a circle that is supposed to function as a button but it is simply a painted circle. The entire timer is the button. Clicking the button will sometimes stop the timer. Sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes it wakes the timer up and sometimes it does not. Pressing the button for a long period of time should reset the timer. Other times the timer simply goes dark indicating you have not pressed the button, even though you are pressing it. Then you realize the button isn’t actually working and you press it again to turn the timer on, which may not work, then finally try again to reset it. Very tiring.
Second, the ring. Turning the ring simply increases the seconds (in multiples of five) for the timer. Except sometimes it does not. Sometimes it increases the minutes. How does one tell which will be increased, minutes or seconds? The manual says “rotate rapidly and assure the rotate angle is greater than 60 degrees”! If that sounds a bit confusing, well it is just as confusing to try and put into practice.
Last the timer has a plastic type cheapy feel to it and the ring is loose and doesn’t have any heft to assist with rotating it to the right time.
Can the timer be made to work – sure. But it is a tiring process that should be much simpler.

I use it everyday. I like it very much. Easy to use, the tone is not to agressive and you can switch to full sound or half sound, safe as the lightning. Use batteries a lot, but I have rechargeable batteries so, it’s ok.
Work great, magnet stick on the refrigerator, always close to me when I cook.

Me gustó este timer porque además de ser bonito, se le puede regular el sonido y el brillo. El mecanismo para elegir el tiempo es bastante práctico. Lo único que hay que considerar es que usa 3 baterÃÂas AAA.

Produto engana muito nas fotos. Qualidade de camelô não vale mais que R$ 20,00 reais.
