I received this as a stocking stuffer (yes, as a college student I still receive stocking stuffers :-)).

The clock itself works fine. It can count up or down. I do not believe it stops beeping at any point once the alarm goes off (at least it continues to beep for 5 minutes). This might be a pro or con depending on what you are looking for. The neat little clip/magnet on the back was something I wanted in a timer, but on this Taylor timer, the clip broke within two months of occasional use. The plastic is cheap, so that is probably what is to blame. Overall, I'd suggest another timer because the clip/magnet was really what I liked in this cheap little timer.

The thermometers were just what we needed for our work.
Much cheaper than I could purchase anywhere else.

I bought this to replace a broken thermometer - one with a glass column that was very slow to give a temperature readings. What a difference. While this thermometer is probably not unbreakable, it has no glass to shatter - and it comes with a protective sleeve (bright blue - easy to locate in a drawer full of other things) that allows me to store it with other baking supplies without worrying about breaking it. It gives readings quickly, and they seem accurate. Mostly I use it when baking breads to test the temperature of water or milk before adding yeast, but I find myself grabbing it to test the internal temperature of meats too, and it works fine.

Greatest thing ever for making a latte at home. Never liked what we got from our machine, but it's amazing what getting the right temperature for the milk can do - we used to try to gauge the heat of the milk by touch, but using this made it clear that we were way off. It really helps.

I hate this thing. It worked fine at first, then started getting stuck on a '888.88 degrees' reading every time I turned it on. My dad (electrical engineer) took a look and declared this to be normal (I forget the term he used, but the gist was that it was just a sign the thing was getting power from the batteries before it actually started working) and said I should be more patient. Well... he didn't stick around to see how patient I'd have to be! If I just leave it alone, it sometimes switches to an actual temperature reading after several minutes (which I don't consider a reasonable time to wait) but most typically stays on that display permanently until it's turned off and on again. Or I can try fiddling with the off/on switch - if I can move it just slightly to the middle, I'll sometimes get my temperature reading. That's an extremely fiddly process though, most typically I end up nudging it too far and turning it off and having to wait (and wait) through that stupid test display again. MUCH too much hassle for a stupid thermometer. I only wish I wasn't so cheap that buying a new thermometer while this one is still technically working bothered me...

This is a decent thermometer, until it is washed.
The first time I washed it all the numbers, letters, and lines came off.

I do agree with everyone that it was hard to read, but it does measure very well.

I guess I should have read these reviews before ordering. The SECOND time I used my thermometer, the temperature reading was stuck on "HI." I've tried the obvious remedy (cleaning the plug) but to no avail. Based on all the other reviewers who have this problem, it appears that this device is junk. Now it's too late to return, so another Chinese-made piece of junk goes to the landfill. Thanks, Amazon!

this scale is great! especially for the price. display is large enough to read without issue. it does seem light, but works well.

I got this temperature indicator because I needed one that immersed in the hot oil without hitting the bottom of the pan and was protected from breakage. I also needed one that responded quickly to temperature changes and this one does just that. The cost was reasonable, while others seemed way overpriced.

This thermometer is easy to use, easy to clean, and seems to be accurate. Not sure what else you could ask for.
