Alarm loud enough ; seems accurate ; has muti features some of which I will never use but it's great they are there. Directions are short and accurate easy to understand.

If you’ve used timers before and/or read the instructions it’s pretty easy to figure out the functions and how to set them. So in that sense I have no problem with it. What I do find fault with is the stand, the magnets and how flimsy it seems. The stand, once pulled down does not go completely back into place as it should. In the area where the stand rests when closed I added 4 tiny glue dots that allow it to remain closed without making it impossible to pull down again. Moreover the little piece of plastic that is the stand is pretty fragile and tends to kind of lock at a certain point before the stand is completely down. If you move it even the tiniest bit too forcefully, it’s going to break so you have to be very careful. The 3 little magnets are completely inadequate (a joke really) and do not keep the timer attached to the fridge or anything else. In terms of price – it’s neither too little nor too much. If this cost 25 bucks it would be way overpriced but as it is only $7.00 I guess it’s fair since it does function, for the moment at least, as it should. It’s completely plastic and just like everything else today obviously not intended to last too long. It's what people call planned obsolescence. Things just aren't made the way they used to be, nor are they made any longer in this country and that explains a lot about so many things we buy now. You need a timer? This is probably no better and no worse than anything else out there. They do not include the battery by the way.

Solves the issue if you need up to 24 hours. Many timers max out at 2 hours, useless for many chores. This is easy to use with standard buttons and has loud volume so you can hear it a few rooms away and decent sized numbers.

This timer is exactly what I was looking for. It is bigger than I expected, but I didn’t look at how big it was prior to purchasing. I wanted a timer with a memory feature that was easy to use and this one has one. I like that you can pick if you want sound or just have the numbers flash without the sound.

After my previous timer stopped working, I ventured on this Empino timer. It works well and conveniently can be put on the body of a fridge (strong magnetic back) or can stand like a table clock. One thing I found cumbersome was setting the timer. For example, if you want to set a timer for 20 minutes, you have to press the minute button 20 times or press and hold to get to 20 and press start. There are only 2 settings for sound, mute or loud - nothing in between. But when it rings, you can clearly hear from another room.
