Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very nice timer that's easy to use AND the price is very reasonable. The number display is large and the alarm is loud plus it only requires one AAA battery. It's faster and easier to enter the time via the 10 digit keypad rather than scrolling to the time you want as many other timers require. Like many digital timers, it only times up to 100 minutes but this is adequate for my purposes (taking the timer to another room with me while cookies bake, working out, taking naps, etc.) although it may be a drawback to some. Just be aware.
My one and only minor criticism is that the stand/clip on the back is too flimsy to function as a clip -- at least not for clipping it to your clothing. It can hold a piece of paper, like a recipe, but only if the paper is fully inserted behind the timer, but that can block much of the text. Since I don't trust magnets on most timers, the only way I use this one is with the stand.
If this one lasts me a few years, I'd be willing to replace it with the same model.
NOTE: A couple other reviewers mentioned that you can't turn the timer off except by taking out the batteries. At first I thought they meant to turn off the alarm sound so I almost didn't buy it because of that. But after reading an older review, it seems I probably misunderstood: they most likely meant you couldn't turn off the display. I have had several digital timers with LCD displays. Not one had an on/off switch for the display. I suspect this was intentional since another button would likely add to the cost & complexity without significant battery savings in return. So if there is anyone else who misunderstood the criticism as I did: you CAN turn the alarm off but you CANNOT turn off the display (it won't likely be an issue to most users).
