About VOCOO Digital Kitchen Timer - Magnetic Countdown Countup Timer
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
73% praised for its precise timing, while 27% found it lost a few seconds
I have noticed that the contextually-aware ring sometimes infers the radix incorrectly based on the initial rate of turn.
I've noticed that the timer isn't accurate. It often ends up on 4:55 or 7:55 instead of 4:00 when trying to get from 3:55 to 4:00. When you turn back, you'll be around 98:55 instead.
The kitchen timer went wacky and displayed nothing but 8s, but then reset itself and became usable again.
68% loved the long-lasting battery life, but 32% found it drained quickly
I use the timer everyday for 8-10 hour stretches and have replaced the batteries twice over the last 8 months.
My only complaint is the battery life, as I have used other timers in the past that lasted for years before needing battery replacement.
The timer freezes up often and I have to remove the batteries to reset it, indicating that the battery life is not good enough.
After only 2 months, my kitchen timer died and changing the battery did not fix it.

70% found the countdown and countup function very useful, but 30% found it limited
The timer has a count-up mode in addition to the countdown function.
I can use the timer to count down from 99 minutes or count up.
Adjusting the countdown timer is the most tedious part of my usage and there is no way to restart the clock from the beginning unless the count expires.
74% praised its compact and ergonomic design, but 26% found it too bulky
The base of the timer has grippy pads that prevent it from spinning around on the counter or table.
I suggest building four planetary gears inside the device to engage the outer ring for a more damped and polished result.
My kitchen timer stopped working less than a year after purchase and its construction is not great.
The ring wiggles a bit and is not as satisfying/smooth to turn as I thought.
79% found it easy to set and operate, but 21% had trouble navigating the settings
I love the ease of use of the kitchen timer. It is visible and audible from across the kitchen, even in another room.
The timer is easy to use in the kitchen and can be started and stopped while carrying food around.
It takes a little bit of practice to get the hang of easily dialing in the right time, but once I have mastered that, it is super easy to operate.
Setting the time takes some getting used to, but once I get the feel for it, it becomes easy.
77% appreciated the ability to set multiple timers, although 23% found it confusing to navigate
The timer has multiple timer functionality, including a count-up mode (stopwatch).
The timer can be used for one purpose with just one button click and holds the last set time.
This timer is basic and does not have multiple settings.
I suggest adding two rings to the timer, one for seconds and one for minutes, to make it easier to set.
84% loved the loud and clear alarm, but 16% found it too soft
I can adjust the volume and brightness of the timer on the back of the device.
The alarm has two adjustable levels of loudness and is easily audible.
There is a switch to change the volume of the timer.
I feel that the turning dial is a bit loose and made of cheap plastic, which makes me doubt its durability. I also wish the lowest volume setting was quieter.
