OXO Good Grips Digital Triple Kitchen Timer - Black

Super Cool and Useful TRIPLE Kitchen Timer by OXO. Takes three AAA batteries. Sits nicely anywhere with illuminated backlit digits counting down each of three different alarms. Each timer can count down from 99 hours, 99 minutes, 99 seconds. If you set timer one to 99 hours it will go to 98:59:59: after one second. Each timer has its own continuous alarm, alarm one beeps once, alarm two beeps twice, and alarm three beeps three times. So you can be across the room and know which alarm is going off. When a timer has finished it beeps until you reset it then continues to count positive so you know how long it has been since a timer finished. Operation is "Easy-Peasy" so you can cook and not be fiddling. Comes with batteries so there is nothing else to buy. Backlight times out after a minute but you can still see the digits so you are not left with a blank display. This is just what I needed when running two pressure canners at once. REAL BUTTONS so there is no second-guessing key presses. Priced right so if you were to drop it you can just get another one without panicking. Very happy with my purchase of this TRIPLE Kitchen Timer by OXO.

This is an excellent device. The 3 timers help with complex tasks in the kitchen and can adapt to other timed events. This is my 3rd. I have them in different areas. My only con is the cost has gone up considerably since the last one I bought.

It does what it is supposed to do. I like the buttons on it better than the older model I had. It is easy to use and I don't miss the clock since I never looked at it anyway on the older model. My only complaint is that you can't see the readout after initially setting it unless you press a button. It stays lit up for one minute then dims to where you can't see it. When it gets down to one minute left, then it lights up again. I DO love that you can set how loud you want the beep when the time is up. I don't have to carry it around with me for fear of not hearing it and overcooking stuff.

We had an old OXO triple timer, the silver colored one that would show the time when not in use. It was problematic, every so often would have to take it apart and clean the keys so they'd work better. The speaker was not all that loud either. But it was working for what we needed. Well the old one speaker totally stopped working, tried to replace it without success. Still wanted a triple timer so did a search and found this one. So far this one seems good, the speaker on max setting is loud can hear it from the other rooms. Kinda miss having it show the time when not in use but it's not a big deal. The display is hard to see if the light isn't hitting it right if the backlight is off, unlike the old timer where it was easy to see. But it's easy to turn on the backlight, I've been using the timer select button. My wife is annoyed by the location of the 0 button and I agree it's not in a good spot, but I can see why they did it that way since they changed the start/stop and clear/memory button layout too. Hopefully the buttons on this one won't need to be cleared periodically to make them work better like the old one did. The old one ate through batteries too, finally decided to start using rechargeables with it. We'll see how this one does, still using the batteries it came with.

UNUSABLE - CAN'T READ THE DISPLAY EXCEPT WHEN YOU SET IT OR WHEN REMAINING TIME IS ZERO! The facts: The real dimensions are 2.55 x 3.00 x 4.00 inches so much smaller than stated 2.55.x 4.5 x 8.2 inches (that is the package size not the size of the timer itself) The alarm is moderately loud at 88 dba at 12”in any direction and 90 dba at the back of the case The Good: Because the case is prismoidal, the display face is held at an angle that makes it visible when the backlight is on and the timer is sitting on a flat surface. The buttons are a little small but usable and each timer has a memory that can be set to a different time which can be re-initiated without clearing and re-entering the value (by pressing the “memory” button twice (the first time clears the display and the second time re-enters the value in memory for that particular timer). The Bad: THE DISPLAY IS WORTHLESS. It is a white fluorescent or LED backlit 7-segment display which is transparent when the backlight is off. This means that you cannot see the remaining time on the timer without walking over to the timer and pressing a button. When you initially start the timer, the backlight stays on for one minute (which you cannot shorten or cancel) after which it turns off and the timer face is totally black. If you shine a bright flashlight on the display you can see the remaining time and watch it count. This means that you have no idea how long it will be until the timer is done unless you interrogate it by shining a flashlight on the display or pressing a button (any button) at which time the backlight turns on and stays on for a full minute with no way to turn it off. As somebody discovered, the resulting battery life is short (apparently a few weeks with normal use). So at 50 cents for a AAA battery ($1.50 for the required set of three) the operating cost of this timer is $0.50/week or ~$25 per year. So you will pay enough for batteries that you could have bought a few less expensive timers, or a better one, but at least one that shows the remaining time all the time. This one is going back to Amazon.

Oxo usually hits home runs on most of their products. I've always been pleased with their kitchen tools. So i took a gamble on this new version of their trio timer, despite seeing the other poor reviews here. I use it daily for cooking. It's not even a month old and the display is spoilt. Swapped out fresh batteries - twice ! Still didn't work. When it did work, it was decent. Buttons are well spaced out so even with fat fingers there won't be accidental button presses. I don't like the inverted display. The visibility is not good and when you're not viewing it head on, the digits are fuzzy. The traditional display is way easier on the eyes. This unit is bulky so be sure to measure your usable space. The alarm speaker ain't that loud, so if you're in a really noisy environment, you might find it lacking. The alarm tone is not intrusive; it's a pleasant gentle tone (NOT what you want in an alarm timer) If this actually lasted me a year i would rate it 5/10. But considering it didn't even last a month, it deserves a 1/10. Oxo, you can surely do better

We recently bought a new range which has a timer that beeps once and is not very loud. This triple timer is easy to use, clearly audible and the wedge design keeps it from sliding across the counter when using the unit. I love that I will be able to set separate timers for different dishes particularly with Thanksgiving around the corner. :) Very well designed and so worth the money.

Maravilhoso, prático com 3 opções de timer

Very good timer. Easy to use, clear screen, multiple timers, memory for the time. Only negative is not having the option to stick it to the fridge with magnets.

This is the best timer I ever owned and better than all the alternatives I saw, so it deserves 5 starts. But it could be even better and I'd be happy to pay a bit more for some improvements. First of all, the light is on only for a short period of time after you press some buttons, and then if any timer has less than one minute left. It would be nice if the light was always on when a timer is running, or at least if a timer has less than 10 or 20 minutes left. I doubt this would change the battery life a lot and, if it did, then the timer should just take an extra battery. Even better, the screens could be e-ink (which are quite cheap nowadays). Another improvement could be having different sounds for different timers. Beeeeep ... beeeeeep for timer 1, beeep beeep .... beeep beeep for timer 2, and beep beep beep ... beep beep beep for timer 3. Finally, it would be nice it the timer were waterproof so it could be easy to wipe it clean.
