But you have to boost the sound output. I have bought these timers for years, and could always her the timer in the next room. Not so with this batch. I can't hear it from two feet away. I have to keep my eye on it, which kind of defeats the purpose of a sound making timer. So, I have downgraded my rating accordingly.
This is the third timer I've bought in the past twenty plus years. Its a good thing this wasn't the first one I bought because I wouldn't have bought anymore.I definitely think the quality has gone down. For example: I recvd my timer on May 8th,2020. last night when I went to turn the timer off (which had been on the refrigerator) it popped off when I pushed the stop button and crashed to the floor. The cute little spring magnet attachment which was on the back to hold it to the fridge is now broken off.So now my timer will be a counter top timer.Another complaint I have is the alarm, you may get confused when it goes of the first time and run to the smoke alarm because thats' what it sounds like.I will give credit that you can be outside or at the other end of your house and will most definitely hear the timer go off on any one the 3 choices. I really like the timer because it does have the three timers in one. And also because it is battery run . But when this one goes I don't think I'll be purchasing another. Sorry
I had one and I bought 3 more. They are absolutely necessary for me to keep track of all the things I have going on all at once. Here at home domestic duties and work schedules, etc. all collide. These little unassuming devices keep my world from imploding. Mostly they allow me to tackle more than one task at a time without the fear of FORGETTING SOMETHING! Love these little timers so much that I have put them in my office, bedroom, kitchen and laundry room.
Timer worked great for about a month. It had a magnet on it so I put it on the fridge. Got knocked off, that’s all she wrote. Magnet popped out and timer stopped working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This timer worked fine for six months then the stand broke, About five months later the alarm stopped alerting me when time had expired.
