Review on πŸ•‘ Uigos Digital Kitchen Timer II 2.0 - Pack of 2, Large Digits, Loud Alarm, Magnetic Back, Stand - Ideal for Cooking, Baking, Sports, Games, and Office Use - White by Melissa Mcintosh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not so happy with them the second time around.

Update: I bought two more and will keep them because the price is low but they don't fit me. They make a loud annoying beep every minute you increment, even if you hold your finger down for up to 20 minutes it should still beep 20 times. This was not the case in previous versions. Additionally, the on/off side switch works in reverse on the two I have. So I or my child is always confused as to whether it is on in the up position or "off" in the up position as it depends on which one we grabbed. Pooh. The display and overall dimensions of this timer are smaller than Wrenware. And it doesn't come with a battery. The only good things are the button ease of use and the crisp Wrenware-like display, but I'd rather pay a few bucks more and upgrade the less annoying timer and use my AAA batteries for a good timer! PS I didn't know I had bought these before until I went to the review and saw I had checked them before. Original Review: I bought a Revain Wrenwane timer a few years ago and absolutely love it. I recently went back online to buy two more - one for my son to keep track of time while playing his instrument and doing homework and another for me to use at home and in front of the computer may to keep me posted I saw this brand and it looked exactly like Wrenwane but came in two packs for a cheaper price so I bought it. Overall I am very satisfied, hence 5 stars. However I will probably buy a Wrenwane again next time as I really like the ability to turn the timer on and off and the feature to remember the last setting instead of having to set the time every time. Timer has expired and switched off. It turns out those two features are more important to me than the loud/quiet alarm sound, which you can set here but not on Wrenwane. First of all, this is a wonderful timer. in stopwatch mode and I appreciate the low price.
