Overall Feedback:
67% positive
64% were impressed with the accuracy, but 36% weren't
I ordered another timer because it is accurate and has a loud enough ring for my impaired hearing.
I love the timer because it is accurate and has a magnetic back that sticks to the stove hood for ease in locating it.
After the bell sounds, the timer continues ticking for a few seconds.
I tested the timer with different timers and found it to be 1-2 minutes off.

61% appreciated the long battery life, though 39% didn't
I like the retro design, magnetic back and the fact that it is mechanical, so no need for batteries.
The timer is easy to use and doesn't require a battery.
The timer has a good weight to it, the magnet sticks well to the refrigerator, and it feels well-made and should last for at least 8 years.
I did not give 5 stars because the timer needs to be placed on something metal for the ringer to sound.

73% liked the customization options
I did not mention any specific customization options for the timer.
I have to customize the timer by turning it past the 55 mark and then setting it on the desired number of minutes.
60% liked the clear display
This timer is dependable, well-made, and easy to use, but not precise down to the second.
64% praised the durability, while 36% found it fragile
I noticed that the timer has a metal housing and a nice weight to it. The winding mechanism also feels strong.
The timer has a sturdy metal housing and a strong winding mechanism.
I have replaced the timer three times in the past ten years, indicating that it is not durable.
The product is cheaply made and an impersonation of the old and good stuff. It is a result of corner cutting, inferior machining, and inferior materials.
After about 4 months, the timer failed intermittently, indicating poor durability.

64% found it easy to use, while 36% had difficulties
It's perfect for reminding me to check a cake or cook pasta.
It's easy to use - just wind all the way back and then go to the desired number.
I love the yellow color and find it easy to use.
The timer is easy to set and use, but the signal is not practical as it cannot be heard over the exhaust hood fan.
65% appreciated the loud alarm, but 35% faced issues
I wanted a loud bell but it is as weak as a $3 plastic timer I had previously.
The timer barely rings for about a second and is hardly audible.
