Review on ⏱️ MARATHON Digital Kitchen Timer - Big Digits, Loud Alarm, Magnetic Back with Clip and Stand-Black, Batteries Included by Elizabeth Sautner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Loud, simple but cheap (from China). The packaging made the rear clip fall apart.

A good little timer for the price. Unfortunately it arrived in a package with the rear clip visible and the clip broken. I'm not sure if I can fix it. The timer itself is nice and loud, and the buttons are big. Readings are clear and large enough to be seen. It would be nice if it didn't beep every time you press the buttons, but I think all timers do, so I'm not getting my hopes up. I need this for a meeting being held in a very large room with lots of sound absorbing padding so most timers can't be heard very well and people are talking beyond their allotted time. I also appreciate that I can turn it on in seconds - it helps to give someone an extra 30 seconds to finish their comment and then turn it back on. Not sure if I'll be returning this one or just trying to figure out what the clip is supposed to look like and fix it. It also uses a simple AAA battery (battery included). I don't need a timer that uses watch batteries because they are difficult to replace. It seems flimsy and poorly constructed so I'll probably look for another timer with a better clip, but for now I'll use this one. How can something so simple be so hard to buy? :P
