FT24-0-3

Update December 2024 - Since the display goofed up on my first one when it got a little wet, I've been careful with my second one, drying my hands before turning it off, which is annoying for a timer used in the kitchen! The seconds display has now lost 3 of its 7 pixels anyway. The softer volume of this 2nd timer has caused me to overcook things several times since I couldn't hear it in my office. I wish this simple timer had a simple stopwatch feature such as the small Cooper timer - press the start button and it starts counting up indefinitely. Update December 2020 - I bought a second one as many of the pixels in the LCD display on my first one stopped working - and because it was on sale. The new one looks the same, but the alarm is not as loud! I can hear the old one beep if I"m at the other end of the house, with the door shut and the TV on. I cannot hear the new one in this situation. With the TV off I can barely hear it. I wish I could take them apart and switch alarms. On the plus side, the C Batteries were included. Sturdy and large. There is a button for HR, MIN and SEC. If you want to time something for 3 minutes, you hit the MIN Button three times. If you want to time something for 45 minutes, you can hold the MIN Button down and it will go through the numbers so you don't have to press the button 45 times. But if you overshoot it, you have to start over, there is not backup button. While the timer is counting down, if you wish to add time, you must first stop it with the red button on the top, then add the additional time. Retart the countdown again with the red button. The timer beep is definitely loud enough so that I can hear it throughout my 1600 sqft home and through a shut solid wood door. I can even hear it outside if I'm close to the kitchen window where I've placed it. 2016 UPDATE: I have had the Cooper-Atkins Timer sitting in my kitchen window sill for over 3 years and it has ran the whole time on just 1 set of 4 'C' batteries. Having the button on top to turn it off is handy when your hands are full. You can adjust the volume all the way down to off and just rely on the flashing red light if you choose. Also, the counter continues past zero, which can come in handy in some instances. For example, if you are not sure when the time first went off, it shows you how long it's been. Or, if what I'm cooking is not quite done and needs a couple more minutes, I'll turn off the annoying noise and let the timer continue. I use it most for cooking duties. Sometimes I need more than one time, and I bought a smaller timer made by the same company. (See attached video and photo to see size difference and hear the alarms.) Anytime I don't want to forget something, I just set this timer. such as reminding me to turn off the stove top if I'm drying a cast iron skillet. I used the hour button throughout the summer to remind me to move my water sprinkler in the yard. You can adjust the volume to be very soft or even off. I just keep mine on high all the time so I don't have to worry about it. It is a high pitched beep-beep, beep-beep. CAUTION! ITEM IS NOT WATER RESISTANT. I dripped a little water on it from my wet hand when I reached for it and some pixels in the hours and minutes of the LCD display stopped working, making it hard to know how much time was left. It was out of warranty. I decided this was not annoying enough to pay $75 to replace. However it is now half off (Dec 2020) so I'm buying a replacement. The warranty is two-years and it is made in China.

Well built and solid design.

So easy to use, love the memory feature for a quick reset, love volume control, love how it counts how long timer has been going off for. Only thing is it is VERY large and would think display be larger due to that. But is a must have for any dangerous task such as stove, oven, or things that can cause a fire or should not be forgotten. If the phone rings, just turn everything off or hit the minute button a few times and the start button to ensure you stay on track. Impressive volume when set on LOUD, and alarm will not stop sounding until you address it or I guess until batteries die.

Why only 4 stars? Well, it does what I wanted it to do... replace the too quiet timer buzzer that came with the new stove my wife bought... When turned all the way up I can hear this buzzer all the way in the back unless I have something loud playing on the computer. So why only 4 stars? Since the price seemed so high I would have expected this: * Buzzer could be a little louder even * When setting the timer, you can hold in the buttons to advance minutes and seconds automatically without having to press the button repeatedly... HOWEVER... it takes (it seems) 2 or 3 seconds of holding the button down before the auto increment kicks in.... as I said... for the money, this seems a little inconvenient. But it fits perfectly on the back edge of the stove and I like the BIG size of it and its ease of use with the BIG red button on the top. AND .... for the price and because it appears to be a "professional" type produce, I am expecting it to last for years and years. Would I buy again..... so far... YES.

i'm ordering more to place in strategic locations throughout my home: laundry, kitchen, bathrooms ... anywhere where running water or fire may be turned on and potentially forgotten. I already purchased one and my family and i have used it routinely the last 8 months. I can hear the ringer, which stays on for a long while, throughout a three floor home. Good product. Easy to use, set, turn off. Downside: it's large compared to many, but that does not bother me as long as it does its job.

I can hear this thing from anywhere in my house. Just what I needed. And I especially appreciate that it also runs a timer that counts up, after the alarm goes off. No more wondering if I set the dumb thing and wondering how long ago it went off. It is much larger than I thought it would be but that's great too, it won't be hard to find.

these by far are the best kitchen timers for commercial use. I have tried others and the broke easily. These are great !!! I have purchased many over the years for multiple stores. There is a volume control but even on a low setting they are nice & Loud with flashing light for any busy kitchen. Min. hrs. & seconds. PERFECT TIMER !!! We use them in our pizza shop and have 1 in every station. You could actually use these timers for anything ~ not just kitchen/cooking.

This is a great timer for those with hearing issues. It is easy to set and there is a wide range for the volume from low volume to very loud. When I purchased this timer in Feb 2021, I thought the price was a bit high at $38.49 but it has been very worth what I paid. On the date of this review the price is set at $51.53 discounted down from $85.68... not sure what this company is thinking pricing it so high.
