TimeCube Plus Preset Timer with 4 LED Light Alarm for Time Management, and Countdown Settings (White - 5,15,30,60 min)

Very simple device that I bought to help me stick to the "Pomodoro" time-management technique, which breaks your day into 25-minute work increments with 5-minute breaks. I love the way you can start the die-shaped timer just by turning it so the desired time-length is on the top.Although the 25- and 5-minute time lengths are why I bought it, it's curious that it has a 20-minute timer instead of a 15-minute timer (which seems more common), and I didn't see a "pause" function in the instructions, but I found if you turn the timer so that the screen is on the top, it DOES pause! That's handy for times when, for example, you're working but get a phone call, have to answer the door, or need a "bio break."

I was needing something to help me time between sets and when looking found this. It is very simple and easy to use and a great price. Many I was looking at were much more expensive. The only thing that may deter some would be it’s set to only use four timing settings…10, 20, 30, and 60 seconds. If you needed other time settings this isn’t for you.

I was hesitant to pay $30 for this product. After 2 months of daily use- I would but it again in an instant. We purchase the 5 10 20 45 model so that we could use it for: short timeouts, limiting shower time, morning routine, bedtime routine, getting ready for dinner, homework and reading, cleaning their room, socks and shoes and out the door. There's so many uses and it's so simple to set by just tipping it on its side. We use it for a six, eight, 10, and 13 year old. The fact that it beeps and flashes is an excellent feature for someone with a disability OR for when your teenager is playing video games with a headset or earbuds. "I didn't hear the timer go off" doesn't work since it flashes too. It resets just by tipping it to a new timer. Also is able to pause and resume by tipping upside down. The product has a small simple digital display, which saves battery life. We use it to set at least 10 to 15 timers a day for 4 kids and the batteries lasted a month. Cost to use frequently is $1/month. Also, because there are no moving parts, it runs smoothly. This product is well designed and is intuitive to use. So simple, so perfect. WARNING: Also realize that by buying this product you make it possible for your wife to set limits for YOU as well. When you say you'll be ready in 5 minutes... She might just tip the cube on you to keep you honest -haha.DO NOT get the OTHER visual timers as the moving parts wear out and jam.

As an adult with ADHD, I have my own time blindness. Now that I have a preschooler who shows a lot of the same signs, mornings can be insanely stressful. Breakfasts take 40 minutes for no reason, and getting him to clothe himself instead of play with his toys or read books is next to impossible when I'm in the other room trying to get ready myself. I got this little guy to see if it would help, as it's so simple to use my son can do it himself. His favorite color is purple, so he actually likes it which means sometimes he even remembers to set it without me asking. It's not a magic solution, but I will say on the mornings that we remember to use it we're almost always able to leave the house on time, with much less frustration for both of us. Well worth the money, and we've had it about a month with no issues. I do wish it had a 15 minute option, but that's really my fault for buying the one with 5,10, 20 and 30 instead. Regardless, works really well for our needs!

I love(d) my Datexx TimeCube Plus (red). The LED and sound toggles are easy to use, the display is easy to read. My TimeCube has been indespensible in keeping me focused. I'm one of those people who need something physical as opposed to an app.However, I purchased my TimeCube in September and by March it has burned out. I'm unsure as to what happened. At first the screen was just displaying strange characters/patterns in the digital readout, instead of displaying the time. The area around the screen began to get really hot and smelled like it was burning, so I can only surmise that somehow over time my Datexx was overheating and I didn't know it. Eventually, I think the PCB and/or the screen burned out. I'm unsure as to whether or not this type of overheating poses a danger. It seems like if it's left unattended for long enough your batteries could get really hot and burn you, or potentially explode.I've reached out to Datexx but received no response over the past couple of days. The timing couldn't be worse (ha.) for a variety of reasons — I expect any of their staff based in the US or China might either be swamped or cut off from company communications entirely. For now my review remains a 1-star, until such a time this issue is resolved, if ever. This item is far too expensive to burn out this easily and this quickly.

Sound quality is great. Which battery life would be better. Overall great product. It serves its purpose.

I purchased this product to help me break up my activities and to keep me on task. I study by 20 minute intervals and then 'break' for 5 minutes. This is easy to use and a quick and easy way to follow. I also use this for my granddaughter while trying to crib-sleep train her (five minutes of crying, five minutes of patting and reassuring, and this continues until she falls asleep.)

I use this to do the pomodoro method while studying. I love that it has a silent mode because I study in the library quite often. It’s very easy to use and it’s portable. It does require batteries which is a little annoying

We own 4 of these little timers which have worked well to date. One recently went on the fritz exhausting battery power regardless of the state (on, off, lights, alarm etc) within 24 hrs. A behavior distinctly different from that of the other three which last for weeks with a single battery change. This unit has been in use for 100 days. Upon contacting the vendor, for a return/repair I was very politely told all requests for exchange/replacement must be within 30 days. Likewise Amazon's A-Z guarantee is for 90 days.Call me an anachronism if you wish but I remember well when a guarantee meant an assurance of the quality of or the length of use to be expected from a product offered for sale often with a promise of reimbursement or repair and that time was at minimum a year.I recently had the opportunity to call upon another vendor of an electronic item I had purchased. The product was 2 1/2 years in use when it malfunctioned. The vendor true to there word replaced the item immediately and had the humility to apologize for my inconvenience! Now it is true the product was advertised with a 5 year warranty where the product under review is not.Have we really gotten to the point in our disposable society that 90 days is all we can reasonably expect as the serviceable life of our purchases? I for one feel it is high time consumers like us called for change! For my part I will be contacting vendors in advance of my purchases to clarify what they are offering as a guarantee.

I was gifted a Datexx Cube 2 weeks ago, an,d to the embarrassment of the gifter, it failed to power on. Yes, we put in batteries. Yes, we checked they were inserted correctly. The gifter took it back for a refund.I decided to purchase one (my back freezes painfully at work - I was going to use this to remind me to move).It failed to power. Yes, we put in batteries. Yes, we checked they were inserted correctly.Two failures cannot just be unfortunate events. It more likely is poor manufacture.

Chaque couleur à une fonctionnalité différente. cube vert =max 15mins. cube noir = max 45min Blanc=60min etc... ca devrait être plus évident!

Hola. Es un temporizador. Es un cubo con 5-15-30-60 minutos. Pones el número que quieras con esa cara mirando al techo, por ejemplo 60 minutos,y empieza la cuenta atrás. Avisa por sonido y por luces. Lo pongo para teletrabajar una hora y descansar 10 minutos. Y me he dado cuenta 3rindo mucho más así que antes que trabajaba de seguido sin darme cuenta y acababa no sabia porque más cansado. Ahora lo séechsbs mucho tiempo seguido trabajando. Muy contento. SDS

Even though this clock is mostly used in kitchen, I'm using it in my office to know when to take a pause of job. Many times it happens to me that I forgot how much time I spent on computer and taking time off from it is very important. And this digital clock helps me a lot.
