KitchenCraft Mechanical Kitchen Timer with Soft Touch and Chrome finish, Countdown Timer 1 Hour, Black and Chrome

The timer has a decent alarm volume, but it's by no means "loud" - you might not hear it if you're in a far away room. The product is also surprisingly sturdy and has some weight to it, but not very heavy. Very easy to use. It worked for about five years, after which the spring has snapped - but 5 years is a pretty serious achievement for such a product.

Was a gift for a partially sighted friend for cooking ...simple clear numbers and easy to use

Worked really well. A few accidents happen in the kitchen as I have little space to work in, since dropping a few times it's stopped working..so not durable. But when ut did work it was accurate and worked well for a kitchen timer

Absolute rubbish, bought this type for my husband as he prefers mechanical things. Does not work at all. You supposedly turn it round to 59 mins then turn back to the amount of minutes you want to set it for. Well it just keeps swinging itself back to the 20 mins . So does not work. Unfortunately because I get my Xmas presents in early as I bought it in October I only had till 9th November to return by. Luckily it didn’t cost much. Annoyed but can’t really do anything about it,

Good product, don't forget to engage the bell on 1st use... wind to 20 minutes or the bell won't engage. After that, it works fine, and no burnt food

Decent quality but not ideal for elderly person with dementia as you have to turn the dial all the way to 59 mins before turning it back to the actual time you want to set. To confusing for a dementia sufferer to remember as not intuitive. Returned the item as not suitable

Smashing little timer

Quite small, has been accurate so far but the reminder alarm isn’t very loud
