Reviews
Love everything but the lifespan
"They work for about two years then the buttons get a bit flaky. You push and …nothing. You push again and you get the same number twice. You have to really check before starting the countdown or you could be burning something. I am on my third and ordered two this time. One for a friend. Why? Because they numbers are big and damn it the volume let’s you get far away and still hear it when it goes off if you have the level set up on 3 or 4. So I guess I’m just stuck with the every 2 year replacement unless they work on a better contact pad or the oxidation on contact points under the buttons. Still a good timer once she starts the proper countdown. jbf16falcon"
Extra big & loud timer
"I love it! I was a little concerned that it might be too loud, so I set it on the lowest setting to try it. It’s perfect for me and I’d recommend it highly. Loud enough to be heard everywhere in our house, but not an annoying sound and not too loud. Husband agrees!"
Exactly what I wanted!
"Love the adjustable volume. I no longer miss the timer going off and it is even loud enough to wake me up from short naps. I have a couple of Thermoworks products and all are high quality. I love doing business with this company."
Love the Extra Big and Loud Timer
"We had a little timer with small buttons that quit beeping. The Extra Big and Loud Timer was our replacement and it is great! Buttons are big enough for large hands and the alarm can be heard anywhere in the house. We love it so much we now have two and have also given them as gifts to our family."
Perfect Timer
"I love this timer! Gives a choice for how loud to set it, very simple to use, large easy to read display and buttons for setting, and appears very rugged. Highly recommend! Also it gives color choices. Terrible!"
Extra Big & Loud Timer
"I’m a softball and baseball umpire and this timer is the best! It’s a little pricey unless you get it on sale! One flaw is the battery sometimes doesn’t connect properly and it affects the loudness of the timer when it fails the seat properly. Try to get multiple timers when they go on sale!"
big and loud, wonderful.
"i love this timer. we are replacing the same model after ??? years of service. stays in place on the side of the fridge, i can hear it from out in my yard but also turn down the volume when necessary."

"I have now purchased 7 timers . I give them to friends, everyone loves them. No one misses the loud alarm. Have many of your other products also."
Great timer, but weak magnets
"I needed a new timer when one of my old timers decided to die. This is a nice loud timer that I can hear throughout my house. My kitchen is small so it is stuck to the refrigerator. I had to place another magnet under the timer as the magnets that it came with, were not strong enough to stop it from slipping down. I lost another timer that way."
Great timer
"This is a great timer. It's good sized and the buttons are big enough to see easily. It's loud enough to be heard and there's 3 different volume levels."
