It's a great timer. The ring is loud enough that you can't miss it and it is accurate. Just remember to always turn the knob past 30 minutes then back to the time you want if you are measuring time less than 30 minutes. This is in the instructions.

Broke in about 7 months. It hasn't been dropped or abused, but stopped ringing after 7 months of normal use. To be clear, we turn the knob way past 30 (as instructed) and it counts down just fine. But when it gets to zero, it does not ring. Useless.

With our busy lives it is easy to forget items we have in the oven.Not with this little and functional timer.Place item in the oven, set the timer and go about your work.When the time is up this timer will let you know.No more over cooked meals.

This timer does work fine. Gets the job done. However, it doesn't stop at the 0 minute mark. I've had this for a few months. And, it still doesn't stop at 0. Will keep it, tho.

These Lux, if not all, minute minders are mass produced, simple mechanical wind-up spring. My rating is a 3 because the bell sound is short and very weak. You might not even hear it when it triggers off. The ticking down minutes are inaudible to me (even taking into account my hearng may be fading). It seems all these minute minders have to be moved pass the 30-minute location on the dial to function properly. A nuisance and can be annoyance. Was looking for something you simply turn the dial to the number of minutes you want to countdown. The only thing good about them is that they are visually easy to see and move the dial conveniently versus a high tech "advanced" minute minders. I still prefer the mechanical minute minder over high tech minute minder.

Use it every day, nice timer. keep it handy and my husband likes it also.

I had this kind of timer at my other house but IDon’t know what they did with it so I ordered another one. It’s loud so you can hear it. Good quality timer.
