About Mechanical Kitchen Timer, Cute Mushroom Timer for Kids
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
81% were impressed with the accuracy, but 19% weren't
Sometimes the alarm goes off 30 seconds before or after the set time, affecting the timer's accuracy.
There is an issue with the timer's accuracy as it is a minute or two off. I won't be using it to time soft-boiled eggs, but it's not a problem for my purpose.
The timer on my 2-minute toothbrush is not accurate and rings too early.
70% appreciated the long battery life, though 30% didn't
After four months of usage, the timer is starting to ring a second or for a couple of seconds before it is supposed to go off.
The timer rings at the 1 minute mark and keeps clicking till it slowly fades, indicating that the battery life is not sufficient for longer durations.
75% liked the customization options, but 25% found them limited
To customize the timer, I just need to turn it all the way around and then back to my desired time. After that, it's not an issue.
The timer needs to be wound all the way to 55 minutes and then turned to the desired time.
Once I set the timer, it keeps making a sound, which makes it difficult to focus on work.
66% liked the clear display
I use the timer to remind myself to get up and move around after sitting for an hour, indicating that the display clarity is good enough for me to notice the time.
79% praised the durability, while 21% found it fragile
I need to wind up the mechanical timer to 55 minutes and then turn it to my desired time. It will count down from there.
I like that the timer is mechanical and can be wound up to work without batteries.
If I miss it, the timer only rings for a second when the time is over, which could be a problem.
After four months of usage, the timer started ringing a second or for a couple of seconds before the actual time.
83% found it easy to use, while 17% had difficulties
I recently realized that a timer would be very useful at my desk and after using it for a few days, it has proven to be handy indeed.
It is convenient not to have to pick up my phone and move on to the next task. Although iPhones have this feature, this timer is still useful.
I use the timer in my preschool class to time centers. When it rings, the class knows it's time to clean up and get ready for the next activity. The students even ask to set it themselves.
I suggest reading the directions carefully for the timer. Once you know how to turn it all the way around and back to the desired time, it's not an issue.
