Review on CDN TM15 Kitchen Timer with Extra Large Digits, Loud Alarm, Magnetic Backing, Stand - White by Kristi Green

I write reviews 5 years after purchase (so you know if something was junk for 6 months or not). I bought two of these 5 years ago and they work great except for two things - if you drop them they tend to break and if you use the magnets to attach them to your stove and place them directly over a hot burner have, they melt . That said, the two I bought 5 years ago both lasted almost 5 years and when I broke them I bought another pair to replace them. Clear display, easy to use, battery life is great (and it's only an easy-to-replace AAA), alert level is good, and I really like that the timer counts up after it hits zero, so if you're in one other room and you miss it, at least you know how bad things are. Would be great if they were a bit more robust, but otherwise this is an excellent timer.
