6 Pack Multi-Function Electronic Timer - Magnetic Digital Timers Big LCD Display The Loud/Silent Switch Countdown Timer Extensively Use in Break Time, Cooking,Gym, Meeting, Classroom

These work great. I love that I can silence them so I don't have to hear every little beep when I'm setting them. Also, if I need a timer for myself but don't want to disrupt students, it's perfect for that. I haven't tried the other settings (count up). These are perfect for a classroom!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these in my SPED classroom. I will say if they get thrown (welcome to sped), they do lose some functions. But I primarily have only bought more of these from losing the originals while moving classrooms. These timers are a great visual for students and have quiet alert options vs. the loud alarm option. So simple to use that my k-2 kids set them up.

Very easy to use. Had all 6 of them going while cooking dinner at the local VFW.

These have magnetic backings, so I put them on my fridge. Unfortunately, they are not very stable, so about 10% of the time when I try to use one of them it falls on the floor. The back just isn't as flat as some other timers, so when you press a button, sometimes the whole thing rocks to one side enough that the magnet comes off and it clatters to the ground. Or maybe I am just bad at pressing buttons. Who can say? It never happened with other timers I've owned though. I find these a bit less reliable than other timers - one time, one of them beeped ONCE when the time went to zero, then somehow cancelled itself and stopped beeping. I would have easily missed the one beep if I was not standing in front of it, which could have let me burn what I was cooking. These also lack the function other timers have where they will count up once they have reached the end, which admittedly probably most people don't use. That said, getting six timers for this price is pretty good. If you need 6 decent timers, get this! If you need only a couple timers, but want them to be more convenient and reliable, get one of the alternatives that has 2 timers in one.

Great for classroom

For the amount of money spent on these, I really shouldn't complain. They are simple to use, they have a magnet on them which is super handy but two of them didn't work. On two of them, the back plastic piece that slides on and off for the battery, was stuck on there. And I mean stuck. I took an exacto and tried cutting it out and finally got them pried open with a flat head screw driver. I ruined one of them in the process. It didn't light up or turn on after adding a battery, and another random one also didn't turn on. Overall, for the amount of money I spent, I'm not that upset. But trying to pry open the battery cover for 10 or so minutes is a pretty frustrating task.

The on/off toggle was rather helpful when traveling with these timers (purchased for a debate team). The sound off and on was helpful to not district from the final words of speeches within debate rounds. If you have ever used a digital timer then you will be able to pick up these timers with ease! Overall, I am rather happy with this purchase. A few more things to note upon reflections. The display size was easy to read from a desk or podium. Additionally, if purchasing this exact pack, make sure to purchase batteries separately (as the product does not ship with batteries).

great product for my appointments

The product works fine and suits the purpose, however I bought these particular ones as they were advertised as having a loud/silent switch (classroom teacher and needed the silent switch) and they only have the one switch - on and off with no option for silent. Disappointed and probably would not have bought these particular ones. There is no issue with the quality or function of the product - just wanted the silent option.
