sixwipe 60 Minute Visual Timer, 9.5cm Classroom Visual Timer with Optional Alert Modes, Silent Magnetic Kitchen Timer with Kickstand, Oversize Visual Countdown Timer for Kids Adults Office Desk

So I wanted a timer that would replicate a clock to reinforce “telling time” and this does it! The vibrant red clearly shows how “how long” the wait is and helps to understand what 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, etc..looks like. Great little quiet timer with a solid ding when the time is up! Requires batteries which is not included, no big deal there. We ordered two, one for each child to help them with tasks and time management.

I really like this timer for my personal needs. Easy to use and accurate. It gives three double beeps and then shuts itself off. A good choice.

I'm an adult and I bought it for myself! I am not a "clock watcher" and this is an easy way to pay attention to " the time"...it is silent, you can even turn off the final buzz when your time set is complete. it has a big red wedge that gets smaller, so you can see how much time is left at a glance. very non intrusive and user friendly

it has the red area for easy reading.

it's not magnetic as described but everything else is good. it doesn't really have a kickstand but it just shaped so that it will sit on a table itself.

I purchased two of these timers. All is fine and well, except that one of them wouldn't sound the beep once it has reached the designated time. That's why I only put 4 stars. I like that the time is clearly marked and visible from afar with the “diminishing” red color. I like the timer a lot and may purchase one more in the future.

I recommend this only if you want a large easy to use visual timer, the alarm is very low and turns off quickly, so not very helpful. However the large red area is a nice visual and twisting the knob to set is very easy. This stands easily on it's own, lightweight easy to carry around. I am hoping this will help my octogenarian friend keep track of what they are baking. NOTE: Does not have a magnet

There is no kickstand. There are no optional alerts (or volume control). And there is no magnetic anything. I needed another visual timer, so I guess I'll keep it since it does work for that. It's not worth the hassle of returning it to save a couple of dollars to get a no-frills one to replace it. If you're looking for the kickstand (which I'm not sure why you would since it stands on its own), a magnetic back, or different alert options, then I wouldn't recommend this timer.

As pointed out in other reviews, the time doesn't have any of the mounting options (kickstand, hanging hole, magnetic mount) described in the product specifications. The timer also requires a battery to function, which is a bit of a nuisance for a simple timer.

After several attempts the alarm finally went off. It was very short %26 barely audible. I it hadn't been right in front of me I would not have heard it. Also, it is not magnetic as described! I know it was only $10.00 but, in my opinion, it wasn't even worth two cents!! Absolutely worthless!!
