TC6-0-8 Digital Timer/Clock/Stopwatch with Splashproof Case, 24 Hours Unit Range

Ingenius - it can sit on a flat surface with it's swing out leg, stick to a metal surface with it's magnet, or clip it to something with it's spring-loaded clamp.It can be either a Timer or a Clock; a slide switch on the back determines which mode it is in.I have it's big brother, the Cooper-Atkins FT24-0-3. That timer costs $52, is TWICE as LOUD, is much larger and easier to use when you have your hands full in the kitchen and has a flashing light. It does not have a clock though. Both are made in China.I am including a photo to show the size difference between these two timers. I am including a video that lets you hear the volume difference in their alarms (it was filmed from 20' away.)2 years later - This timer still works. I just bought a 2nd one to use in my office.

Nice timer, and in spite of reading the measurements before ordering, it was a little larger than I thought. It is a little loud for my needs (reminders for numerous medicine times), so I stuck a small piece of white electrical tape over the little speaker hole in the back and that is perfect. It would be great the way it is if you are hard of hearing or have it situated some distance from where you happen to be.My only recommendation would be if they would make the clip on the back tighter so that you could clip it to your clothing to wear while doing chores. As it is, it is too heavy for the strength of the clip.All in all, I love it.

Cooper timers, thermometers, etc. are reliable tools for professional kitchens. But just as with the thermometers, the country of origin on the Amazon listing is false.Made in China, not USA

I keep this on my refrigerator and use it in the kitchen. It's a great little timer: logical easy-to-use button controls, easily readable display, very audible alarm, and it looks quite stylish! Takes one AA battery. You can easily set it up on a flat surface, or use the magnetic feature to put it on metal surfaces (like a refrigerator).

This was purchased because my wife requested a kitchen timer that was loud enough to overcome her hearing loss. I tested this same model at home (which I borrowed from my employer) with my wife and she thought that it had enough alarm volume for her needs. It shipped within one week. However, it was obvious immediately on testing the unit that I purchased that the alarm was barely audible to one even with good hearing. It was no louder than a timer from the dollar store. On checking with the manufacturer about this problem, I was told that the alarm was supposed to have a volume of 80 decibels. What I heard on our unit was no louder than maybe 20 decibels. So, at the suggestion of the manufacturer, it has been returned for full refund as defective. I am looking now for another timer that really emphasizes a loud alarm.
