I got a first, which was not working. Fortunately, retailers (AVID) is very serious and I was immediately sent a new article without even claim me one that was defective. The second work, but even when it works, the quality is far from the appointment. The product looks very fragile, the buttons do not respond well, the controls are ergonomic (which requires intensive use those damn buttons!). If you want to use as a timer for cooking pasta, remember to prepare in advance, otherwise your pasta will be cooked when you have already managed to start the countdown. Finally, the alarm is barely audible. If you hope to use it as a travel alarm clock for your camping holidays, expect to do some lazy mornings!
