Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

"...Literally a 1" cube. Only the number 1 lights up, the other numbers are only printed, so it took me a minute to figure out if it was working and it..." Read more
This timer is very useful but it was way smaller than expected. Here I am holding the timer with a lip balm to show for size comparison. This unit seems perfect for taking to the library or on the go (pre-pandemic). I'm looking for a device that's a bit larger so that I can place it down and see it from a distance. Also, only the 1 lights up blue. The ⏲️ dials for the different minute increments do not light up.
This timer is easy to use and very flexible. It has 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x settings so you can select a wide variety of timings. It is small (about 1 inch cubed), but that is fine.
The start/set button on this timer broke after two days. Total waste of money. Even before that, it was only just OK. It was cute, but it didn't count down. It beeped when time was up but there was no way of knowing how much time was left.
Ours stopped working after a couple weeks, but the company quickly made arrangements to replace it for free. We'll see if this one lasts longer:)
As for the product itself, I like the small size, and the multiplier feature gives you a lot more options than most "cube timers" for different times to set.
[Well, it was cool while it lasted. Now it just beeps at me, I can't select the time multiplier, and it seemingly will only count down from one minute no matter which side it's on.]
Although it is a clever gadget, which I love, there is a HUGE downside to using this for cooking. You have NO CLUE how much time remains!! Even for studying or a test use, you would STILL want to know how much time remains. The only visual indicator that this thing is even ON is the subtle blue light flashing from the rear (1 indicator). Not a practical device for cooking, or studying. The only pragmatic use could be where you wanted to be SURPRISED by the timer ending
Positive: It's accurate; it can be adjusted to any time interval; it works
Negative: quite small (not a defect, just a preference); instructions are confusing; the only side that blinks is the 1-minute face – I much prefer that the interval I'm using is the one blinking; adjusting the multiple time intervals is confusing – I'm never quite sure if the multiplier is off or on; doesn't count down (not a defect, just a preference)
Conclusion: It's a good, accurate timer that's a bit small and somewhat confusing to operate. After using it, I've decided I simply prefer a different kind.
I have developed my own time management tool based loosely on the Pomodoro Technique that really helps me crank out work when a deadline looms. Truth is, my attention span is inadequate to get many tasks done without constant attention to my attention. This little timer, about the size of a large die, allows for a large number of possibilities thanks to the multiplier. So if you use the 3X multiplier and lay it where the 3 minute time is up, it will beep in 9 minutes. My only complaint would be that it stops beeping pretty quickly so if I do step out of the room, I often don’t realize it has beeped. USB charging is brilliant addition and with it being so small, it easily fits in the backpack or even my pocket.
It's simply too small to be of any use. I was thinking something along the lines of a rubix cube size. My fault for not not reading the dimensions, but still.
This timer is very useful but it was way smaller than expected. Here I am holding the timer with a lip balm to show for size comparison. This unit seems perfect for taking to the library or on the go (pre-pandemic). I'm looking for a device that's a bit larger so that I can place it down and see it from a distance. Also, only the 1 lights up blue. The ⏲️ dials for the different minute increments do not light up.
