XREXS4 Channels Digital Kitchen Timer Clock, Cooking Timer with Large LCD Display, 4 Groups Simultaneous Timing Countdown Up Pocket Timer, Magnetic Attachable (Battery Included) (396)

I am hard of hearing - need to use a hearing aid. I liked what people said about it bein very loud! Without my hearing aid, I can hear it OK. It's not loud, but I can hear it. WIth my hearing aid, the volume for me is just right. Sometimes I am in one room, and the timer is in another. With my hearing aid in, I can still hear it in the other room. Without my hearing aid, I cannot. I wan't sure I would use the clock feature, but I really like it. It is always handy to have another clock around!

Absolutely buy this. I was afraid this would be hard to figure out because it looked too complicated for my aging brain. I didn't really need 4 separate timers, just one, but I did want something that would time several hours rather than just several minutes. I took a chance on this one based on the excellent reviews. Well, I'm so glad I did! When I read the instructions (in English & with diagrams) I immediately discovered this is the easiest timer in the world. It's so simple to use! Extremely straight forward and intuitive. Don't be intimidated by the 4 timers feature, you'll never even notice it unless you're setting more than one, which is actually just as simple as setting one. Just so you'll know, I use timers all the time. I have ADD, so I'm easily distracted and I use timers to keep me from forgetting my place during daily tasks. In the past 10 years or so, I've tried many different brands and styles, so it is with complete confidence that I can recommend this one as the best. It has more features, more advantages, and it's even easier than most to set and use. On thing teachers will enjoy is that setting the timer countdown is silent if you hold the button down rather than pushing it individual times. I know that can be an advantage during tests and such. It also counts up as a stopwatch just as easily as it counts down toward a deadline. The alarms are plenty loud enough to get your attention. The battery compartment is solidly made and easy to open and close. I love that it can hang around my neck, stand upright on it's integrated fold-out stand, hang from a nail, or stick to things with it's attached magnets. It's just so versatile. And who knows? It might come in handy to have 4 separate timers. Bottom line: This is an excellent, quality built timer with extra functions, that is easy to use and works as well or better than the others in it's class. I highly recommend it.

Let’s start with the negatives. The batteries are installed backwards and wrapped in plastic. This is to keep them fresh. You must remove the batteries remove the plastic and then install correctly. The other problem for me is that you cannot turn it off.People are complaining that it’s too loud. The fact is that there is a switch on the back, which will allow you to turn down the volume to low or mute it.The timer works great! I purchased this model because it allows for four separate timers. It couldn’t be any easier to operate. I am very satisfied with this purchase however I would like the option to turn it off without removing the batteries.

Very easy to set the 4 timers, and it is very useful to have in timing events, classes, etc. MAJOR weakness is the lanyard clip, which can break VERY easily, and it should be a metal piece worked into the plastic, as that tab will break off if you ever drop it one time.Last one lasted me exactly 5 years, but it failed mysteriously, as I went to replace the batteries (you will hear the beep getting weaker and sounding strange when the batteries get low) and it refused to come back on. There was something defective to cause that, but replacing batteries should NOT cause the unit to fail. 4 stars

I was hesitant at buying a timer that seemed to be offering a lot more features than my last, more expensive timer. Seemed too good to be true. Well, I was wrong. This is an EXCELLENT timer. 4 separate timers, each with a distinctive beep letting you know which one is going off and the ability to set the clock at both 12hr and 24hr options (I've been having fun with the Military setting, since I set it next to my normal clock and have really needed to learn to convert). The magnet is strong and the built in stand is at a good angle. The alarm is super loud. I don't consider this a flaw at all, I just put a small piece of tape over the speaker to deaden it a bit and to avoid annoying the neighbors. Again NOT A FLAW. The inclusion of the ability to set seconds as well as hours and minutes is a welcome inclusion inasmuch as so many timers at or around this price seem to lack it. My only complaint would be that the display is difficult to see at certain angles, but as that seems to be a common trait in any device with this kind of display, I don't hold it to against it. Nothing that should cost a star. Also, it just feels solid and well built, like if I drop it it won't shatter into a million pieces. Overall a very good deal.

Easy operation, quiet when setting, very convenient.

Its a good product with some flawsVolume button is supposedly in the back but when you press either of the buttons on the side of the screen it does also alter volume (but it takes a while to figure out how). There is nothing about this in the instruction manual that states this and the directions are in super small font.i really wanted to like this because i wanted to be able to set three sequential alarms (5-10-15 min), with the ability to turn each one off and not impact the next one. It does do that. However, every time the sequential alarm goes off, it resets the timer...there is no memory feature that lets the device remember the timer that you last set (in my case 5-10-15) and it reverts to 0-0-0 for the next cycle. Since i was planning to use this for a recurring daily task, i find the need to program it from scratch each time somewhat limiting. Otherwise its is a perfectly good product especially if you do want to set different programs/timer cadence each time you use it. Wish the max volume was just a bit higher also.

Works great! I like that you can mute the timer and that it counts up and down!
