I have the clock now only 3 weeks, but I can not confirm anything negative by previous speakers. The clock looks funny, has a very smooth-running mechanical slewing gear, they always prefer the full 60 minutes and then turn back to the actual cooking time. She runs with me perfectly, ringing half a minute too soon, and I would also order at any time for this price again. The only drawback: if you are not staying in the kitchen, the ringing perhaps audible (quiet), but otherwise is super. In addition, I also appreciate the name Fackelmann with my order and have not been disappointed! From me is why 5 * star !!!!!
