Review on 🕒 General Tools TI150 Kitchen Timer for Visually/Hearing Impaired, Loud Environments, and Classrooms - Red Flasher, Loud Beeper, Vibration - Gray by Amy Young

The website description claims this timer is good for people with hearing impairments and the bubble wrap says 'Perfect for the visually and hearing impaired'. Well, that's not really the whole truth. I, like several million other old fools around the world, have high frequency hearing loss.

I've tried using old fashioned mechanical kitchen timers which have a nice loud ringer but don't vibrate, are bulky, the ringer only lasts a few seconds and the max time that can be set is an hour. .
