Winco TIM-85D Digital Timer

This is my first digital kitchen timer. I have been using a mechanical timer but it broke after only a year or so of use. Compared to the mechanical timer, I like this far more. The quality of the plastic and the built are better than you'd find in other products. For me, it's very acceptable. This timer is also quite easily pocket able. Operation is easy enough that you can skip the instruction. It has a minute button and a hour button and the number only goes up, not down. The Timer uses one AAA alkaline battery, which is not included. I'm planning to use rechargeable battery. The alarm makes short beeps about every second and goes for about 30 seconds. It's loud enough in my pocket and that's the way I use it. Since it's small enough, there's no excuse leaving it in the kitchen.This is a timer with simplest function for the cheapest price. If you need more functions, this is probably not a good choice. If you are used to mechanical timer, this will give you more than you need.
