Kate Aspen Showcase Gift Box, Yellow 'About to Hatch' Kitchen Egg Timer (18010WT) Review

My niece needs a timer, she struggles with time limits (like giving her a 5 minute warning to stop what she is doing), she hasn't learned to keep time yet when she's busy or doing something fun. She loved the idea of this timer and especially liked this egg timer (because I call them egg timers and they are actually egg shaped oh real baby). t work from the package. So I bought two, hoping that if one didn't work, the backup would work. It turned out to be a safe bet and one of them didn't…

As soon as I received this timer I tested it. When used like any other mechanical alarm I have used it works very well. I wind it up to the maximum time and then reset it to the desired time interval. The time is ticking and the noise level is reasonable and the alarms are loud enough for about 5 seconds. Mine seems to fire half a minute earlier regardless of the time set. My guess is that those who haven't had very good results with this timer just haven't wound it up enough to make it work…

I was just expecting the timer to actually work as a timer. I got the first one, although sometimes it's broken. Revain was great and sent me a free replacement without having to send the broken one back. But the second does the same. You turn it to the desired time (first after the 15 minute mark as below, then back to the set time) and it will tick anywhere from 30-60 seconds to the end and ring for a brief second. . Very quick call - I wouldn't have heard it if I hadn't been in the kitchen…
