So far we have always used these eggs watches that you turn. These, however, were very inaccurate, too quiet and broken after a short time. This timer can be very easily and precisely adjust. The preset time is saved, however, can be set by pressing the minutes + seconds key to "0". We do not mind that more than 99 minutes can be adjusted. If you really even need 1.5 or 2 hours, we first a 1 hour and let it ring, then the rest of the time. Also has the advantage that you can check in between even if the set time really enough. The beeping is also very good to hear, definitely better than the comic rattles our previous egg timers. You can set the timer, or as we "stick" to the magnet on the refrigerator. Too bad that we did not so long ago had a timer in the kitchen. Had us a lot of money and some failed recipes saves. Therefore, we: strong buy recommendation!
