Review on ⏳ XINBAOHONG Sand Timer Set - 5 Minute and 15 Minute Hourglass Sand Timers for Classroom, Office, Kitchen, and Games - Pack of 2 (Blue 5 Min, Green 15 Min) – 6.3''X 3.2'' by Matthew Oumer

Big, bright, and sturdy sand timers

This set of 5-minute and 15-minute timers is great. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is how much bigger they were than I was expecting. This is a good thing because they are very sturdy so I'm not worried about them accidentally getting knocked over (like I am with my smaller sand timers). Most of the tea I drink gets steeped for 5 minutes, so I use the blue one mainly for that. The green one gets used for things like helping my 4-year-old understand how long she needs to focus on a "boring" task (like cleaning her room) before she can take a short break. She thinks these sand timers are fascinating so it's also "funner" than using a clock timer. I set them against my stopwatch to see how accurate they are - the blue/5-minute timer was about 15 seconds over, but the green/15-minute timer was only three seconds longer. They are both close enough in my book.

Pros
  • STURDY SAND HOURGLASS TIMERS: Made of transparent Acrylic + Plastic + Glass Tube + Sand, Uneasy to break. Using these sand timers can be much more pleasant and less distracting than looking at your phone to time, help you stay focused and productive for longer.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all age groups or skill levels
