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

The rainbow is fun for younger kids, they like to watch the different colors of the rainbow. Instructions are well written and simple to use, the operation is easy even for toddlers.

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.

Delivered without the battery or any instructions so may have been a resold return. Fortunately I had a battery of the right size in my inventory and now it works fine. Easy to track remaining time and has 4 dings at end of the set time. Attractive accessory to the table or stove top.

Doesn't make any ticking noise which my son prefers. He turns off the other one we have which clicks. Helpful to kids that need a visual timer to help get things done on time.

I thought a "mechanical timer" meant one with physical winding and an old-fashioned bell sound. I did not look carefully enough at the picture and description. This one has a battery, an on/off switch and an electronic -sounding bell. Works fine as a timer but not what I thought I was buying

the description is simply a lie. no lights flashing (the reason I purchased this), no kickstand, no 3 options, only a 3-beep on or no sound. what a crock!

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.

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.

I use this for the kids when they practice piano. Old school but I love it. The red timer keeps them on track

It works, but we'll see for how long. Built rather cheap. The red is just a piece of colored plastic that gets pulled around. It will do for now. Volume is too low and it shuts off on its own. I wouldn't buy this model again.
