Haven't had any issues with it. Been following the directions of turn to 55, then back to desired time. It's very cute and the ring isn't obtrusive, it's at just the right volume for me. I was a little nervous as some manual kitchen timers can be finicky, but this one has me very satisfiedLast timer very much like this one stopped working… o here we bought another, the last one worked well for a few years price is right and you will have finished cookies or pizza not burnt lolLove the look of my owl timer. I use it primarily in my laundry room to remind me to remove certain items of clothing from the dryer to be hung up. I also use it for 'quick' cooking or baking needs. Because it is portable, I can hear it wherever I am in the house. It keeps accurate time. I'm very happy with my owl.I'm an owl person and teacher. Bought this for my classroom as a cute timer for quickwrites. The timer is cute, and you can hear it ticking down, but it doesnt ring when the timer stops. Sits on my desk as an ornament.Muy útil!!The first one stopped working cuz I dropped it one too many times, but the second one rang once and never made a sound again...Bought this in January, and it's broken already. It's been used less than 10 times per week. Cute, but junk.Print way too light!It does work, but only if you use it past the five minute mark - I apologize for the inadequate testing and knee-jerk review. It rings at the mark a couple of minutes before zero, so while not the best for precision timing, I do find it helpful. The ring itself is good, enough to get your attention and brief enough to not be annoying.Très jolie, mais c'est dommage, il y a une tache rouge à l'arrière. Inspection avant la vente un peu négligéVa genial, se edcucha bastante y es super bonitoFunciona perfectamenteThe timer never fully reaches 0 and doesn't make any sounds when the timer is done.
