Customer Reviews of Compact Talking Timer & Clock
Customer Review: talking alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutly the best. Loud voice or just "sounds" alarms. It is so cool. I bought 2. One stays at the computer and one either travels with me, or just a 2nd reminder for the other side of the house. Easily hear over loud music or TV. Guess a third would be nice, but probable just missplaced.....needs a "clapper" finder....LOL
If a over talkative friend calls your cell phone, put on the minutes you want to talk and press start. And then you can say "need to go, the alarm is going off", and no need to tell what alarm. But the voice clearly says time like: 2 minutes left, 1 minute left, and then an every 10 second interval.
That can be annoying or just the ticket!! If time management at home is a problem, this is the greatest. Just set the timer for 30 minutes or what ever, and keep the timer either in pocket, or at desk and it gives you a deadline....and a honking horn plus a voice...LOL. But Very effective.
What is so cool is how versatal it is....clips to anything, stands up, or magnet, and much more high tech cool look than photo.
Cons: None so far
Customer Review: Excellent if you need to take meds every 4- 6 hours

This was such an answer to prayer!!! My father has Parkinsons Disease and needs to take his meds every 4 hours on the dot. I had looked at alarm clocks that had mulitple alarms for this purpose but they were so expensive. Beings that the price of this item was inexpensive I bought it on a gamble. Well - it wasn't a gamble, but an investment in my Dad's health. We are able to set the countdown alarm to sound every 4 hours as a reminder for my Dad to take his meds. There is a talking method for the coutdown (which can be annoying but you can turn it off) and just use one of 5-6 different sounds to go off when it is time to take his meds. Both my Dad, his caregiver, physical therapist, nurse and I, are amazed that we found what we needed for med reminders in such a handy, inexpensive, reliable product. If you MUST take your meds at recurring times -- please don't hesitate to buy. You can set this to recurring times once and be done. This has imporved my Dad's health so I urge you to get it if you are on strict medication regimes.Customer Review: Second opinion - follow-up

I first purchased a compact talking timer with its various sounds about 7 years ago and found it enormously helpful. When it finally needed replacement, I bought two new ones a month ago...one for the kitchen and one (pinned to my jacket) for reminding me for all sorts of follow-ups during the day. (ORIGINAL MODEL WAS ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL AND EASY TO USE....--- NEW ONES RECEIVED IN DECEMBER 2010 untrustworthy and almost useless- February 9 2011)
THE TWO NEW ONES MUST BE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE TIMERS DO NOT ALWAYS START WHEN REQUESTED, OR WIPE OUT THE TIME INSTRUCTION AND I HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN IN THE ENTRY. NOT TRUSTWORTHY OPERATION.
Customer Review: I really like this timer/clock

I use this in the shower to keep from using up too much water with a long shower. It's not waterproof, so I keep it away from the shower water. It has been working great at helping cut down my shower time. Not only does it show the current time, it has an alarm on the timer, and a timer that tracks your total time. In other words, a timer that counts up and another that counts down and they can both be on at the same time. The clock is small. The only drawback that I have found is the switch that goes from time to count down to count up is very small, which makes it hard to switch between them without going past the one you want.Customer Review: Addictive!

This will be my third one to buy. I originally bought this for my grandson for his 5th birthday. He's addicted to timers, clocks and anything mechanical. The first one broke and the company quickly sent me a brand new replacement. The second one he's used and abused for over a year and has now lost it. He's bugging me every day "I need my talking timer!" So, I'm going to order another one. It is a pretty slick little device. Don't bother with the instructions. A five year old (without a Master's degree I might add) figured out all the functions in no time. Love it!
