Beautiful and functional
Beautiful! Nice quality and functional, and the magnet is very strong, it’s easy to use, and the perfect size to stick to the stove or any appliances.

Failed after 1 week. Another victim to the modern trend of inferior goods.
I like the look, I hate the function. Magnetizing this boldly-colored thing to my fridge door looked nice, but after 1 week of gentle and infrequent use, it stopped ringing when it hit zero. 75% of the time that I try to use it, now, when the hand hits 0 it DOESN'T ring, my food inevitably overcooks, and then the second I so much as *tap* it, it suddenly rings. It's like it's getting caught on the last tick before it can sound off...I've tried lying it flat and letting it tick that way, I've tried winding the *exact* amount and I've tried over-winding (going all the way to 55, then coming back to my desired time) and no matter what, this issue persists.I grew up with these things. They used to be bulky and reliable--nearly invincible. This is a cheaply-made impersonation of the old and good stuff. This is the product of corner cutting, inferior machining, and inferior materials. Go find a different maker/product. This is not the one for you (unfortunately).

Set the timer!
Old School Cool with a Modern TwistLoving the mid-century modern look and the classic old-school timer. Who needs iPhones with timers and fancy microwave clocks? Let’s take it back to the good ol’ days. This retro timer works great, looks even better, and adds a touch of charm to the kitchen!

Nice Retro Mechanical Timer
Bought as a addition to our blue & yellow color themed kitchen. It works very well the only issue I have is the buzzer does not sound very loud nor ring for a long time, so you don't need to be far away. It's very practical & retro stylish, but I'm interested to see how long it will endure given it is somewhat flimsy.

Quality timer
I had one of these for 20+ years and it always woked well. After one too many drops on the floor, it finally died. I was hesitant to get another one because I didn't want a piece if plastic junk. This is just a sturdy and is accurate so far. Love the retro color that matches my KitchenAid appliances. My only fault is I do not like the new buzzer sound. The old one was more of a ringing. This one sounds like a train in barreling through your kitchen... Can't say you didn't hear it though, lol!!

Pretty but defective
I ordered this timer because it looks beautiful and I trust the brand integrity. The first time I got was defective and it would not actually work. As the timer came down to zero, it would never ring. I made an exchange with Amazon and they sent a new one that did work. However, the ring is not very loud and it is very short, so it is easy to miss. Nonetheless I was happy with the product. A month after using the face of the timer, completely warped, and now it is hardly usable.of course I did not let Amazon know in time and just kept using it in this state. I just reached out to the manufacturer to see if they were do anything about it. This is not a cheap product and you expect to get a premium product for a premium price. That is not the case here. Though it looks nice I cannot in good conscience recommend this product. of course I did not let Amazon know in time and just kept using it in this broken state.

Good buy!
It's so cute! It works well. You can hear the buzzer from the from room.At least in my apartment!If your stove doesn't have a timer it's a good purchase at this price.

Not loud enough.
Had to return. For me, the alarm was neither long enough nor loud enough. It rang for about 2 seconds then stopped. I’m sure I would not hear it in another part of the house.It was easy to use and the ticking was not annoyingly loud. I loved the red color. It was easy to read and easy to set. I wish it would have worked out.
