Cooper-Atkins Tool, Multicolor, 1 Pack

Meilleures timer

Nice very loud

Update December 2024 - Since the display goofed up on my first one when it got a little wet, I've been careful with my second one, drying my hands before turning it off, which is annoying for a timer used in the kitchen! The seconds display has now lost 3 of its 7 pixels anyway. The softer volume of this 2nd timer has caused me to overcook things several times since I couldn't hear it in my office. I wish this simple timer had a simple stopwatch feature such as the small Cooper timer - press the start button and it starts counting up indefinitely. Update December 2020 - I bought a second one as many of the pixels in the LCD display on my first one stopped working - and because it was on sale. The new one looks the same, but the alarm is not as loud! I can hear the old one beep if I"m at the other end of the house, with the door shut and the TV on. I cannot hear the new one in this situation. With the TV off I can barely hear it. I wish I could take them apart and switch alarms. On the plus side, the C Batteries were included. Sturdy and large. There is a button for HR, MIN and SEC. If you want to time something for 3 minutes, you hit the MIN Button three times. If you want to time something for 45 minutes, you can hold the MIN Button down and it will go through the numbers so you don't have to press the button 45 times. But if you overshoot it, you have to start over, there is not backup button. While the timer is counting down, if you wish to add time, you must first stop it with the red button on the top, then add the additional time. Retart the countdown again with the red button. The timer beep is definitely loud enough so that I can hear it throughout my 1600 sqft home and through a shut solid wood door. I can even hear it outside if I'm close to the kitchen window where I've placed it. 2016 UPDATE: I have had the Cooper-Atkins Timer sitting in my kitchen window sill for over 3 years and it has ran the whole time on just 1 set of 4 'C' batteries. Having the button on top to turn it off is handy when your hands are full. You can adjust the volume all the way down to off and just rely on the flashing red light if you choose. Also, the counter continues past zero, which can come in handy in some instances. For example, if you are not sure when the time first went off, it shows you how long it's been. Or, if what I'm cooking is not quite done and needs a couple more minutes, I'll turn off the annoying noise and let the timer continue. I use it most for cooking duties. Sometimes I need more than one time, and I bought a smaller timer made by the same company. (See attached video and photo to see size difference and hear the alarms.) Anytime I don't want to forget something, I just set this timer. such as reminding me to turn off the stove top if I'm drying a cast iron skillet. I used the hour button throughout the summer to remind me to move my water sprinkler in the yard. You can adjust the volume to be very soft or even off. I just keep mine on high all the time so I don't have to worry about it. It is a high pitched beep-beep, beep-beep. CAUTION! ITEM IS NOT WATER RESISTANT. I dripped a little water on it from my wet hand when I reached for it and some pixels in the hours and minutes of the LCD display stopped working, making it hard to know how much time was left. It was out of warranty. I decided this was not annoying enough to pay $75 to replace. However it is now half off (Dec 2020) so I'm buying a replacement. The warranty is two-years and it is made in China.

Well built and solid design.

Très bon produit et d'une très grande durabilité
