This timer was purchased for my 100 yr old mother. I hope this one lasts her another 50 yrs. The pear timer is too cute with my apple salt and pepper shakers. I love seeing it sitting on my counter near the coffee press and electric kettle.

It's fine for timing hard boiled eggs or keeping track of preheating the oven. The most i have ever set it is for 20 minutes and it works perfect. They are well worth the price.

The ringer is loud, but not obnoxious. I use it when my roommate is sleeping or napping. The sound when the timer goes off is perfect for our classroom.

Ticking sound is very loud and distracting. The ticking is louder than the ring. Rings before the time expires, then continues to tick for several seconds. The ringer isn't very loud.

Expect no logo as shown in the picture. Didn't work. Returning it. I swear it only works half the time.
