These are my favorites to use in the classroom. In fact, I purchased one for home. I like the color-coded buttons, various easy to access features of counting up OR down. As long as the time gets used up, it goes back to the countdown time you set it for. Thus, I can set it for 10 minute blocks of time over and over again. My only complaint is that it is not very resistant as far as being dropped. With the first drop, one of my timers lost its back "stand" and the timer's inside number plate dislodged.

Project is easy for my 7 year old to use for virtual school breaks and timings reading exercises. Would give product 5 stars if able to turn the unit off. The unit stays on indefinitely unless you remove batteries.

I LOVE THIS TIMER!!! It helps me stay on task in the kitchen as well as when I do my speed cleaning elsewhere in the house as my kids us the larger more visual timer. I like the fact that it may be sat on the counter or you can have it on any surface that a magnet can stick to. It is very easy to set. I wish I could have caught the timer with multiple settings, but this one works just great. you will not regret it. I must also say that it's pretty durable. My kids have dropped it a couple of times and it still works. Im sure the life has diminished some, but so far...its is running like a champ. Nice clear alarm, no confusion as to what that noise is!

I bought this timer to use while practicing exercises on my drum pad. I do each exercise for 3min. Sure, there are "apps for that". But, utilizing my phone was too cumbersome. Besides being incredibly simple to use if you are using it to count down it automatically returns to the value you'd set. In other words it always returns to 3min. for me and I'm immediately ready to move to the next exercise. It was also pretty easy to rig up something that I just taped to my practice pad and then clipped the timer onto it. The clip also has a magnet which I'm sure will come in handy at some point.
