mooasCube Timer (Mint), Flip Timer Productivity Timer, Time Management, Block Timer Kids Cube Timer Kitchen Timer Desk Timer for Studying Workout Classroom 1, 3, 5, 10 min Timer Setting

I have violet and mint. I use them in my classroom daily. I teach Pre-K, so 3-5 year olds. My "time keeper" can easily set the timer and it's loud enough that all my students can hear even when they're not using inside voices. There are two volume settings and the lower volume is good for rest time but we don't usually use it. Both myself and the students have dropped them multiple times and they both still work perfectly.I have used these for 2 school years and have only had to replace the battery in the mint one time. That's probably because I forget to turn it off. The purple is still on the original batteries.I have the white and yellow in my cart for purchase next!

It's easy to get get lost in one project and forget you have 10 others to finish by the end of the day, so I use this to help distribute my time among various tasks at my desk. Flip it over to the time allotment you want and it starts counting down. You can adjust the loudness of the alarm or even turn it off. I work remotely from home so the alarm isn't disturbing anyone. It has a little digital countdown window also. The blinking red light during the countdown is a little distracting so I just cover it with a bit of masking tape. I wish I could turn the light off. Otherwise, it's a very handy and easy to use timer. It could even work in the kitchen, or even with kids during study time or music practice. It does only go to 30 minutes, but just flip it again for additional time. It uses batteries and are easy to install. I got the fun purple color to coordinate with my desk decor.

THE BAD: I purchased this timer because I have ADHD and needed a timer outside of my phone that wouldn't be easy to ignore by swiping away unknowingly or continually snoozing.That wouldn't be easy to ignore when the alarm went off, not *unable* to ignore, not even for a moment, because of the red flashing LED light!Talk about a distraction! I got the timer so I could get work done. Instead I was fixated on the flashy-flashy thing (others in the "neurodiverse tribe" will especially understand this.)Thankfully, my husband does fine scale modeling so had the tools and know-how to fix the problem. He opened the box, snipped the correct wires, and no more light.Therefore,THE GOOD: It works like a charm! Very easy to use.Some call it flimsy; I call it light-weight. It's plastic and doesn't have much inside (a small cylinder that holds the weight, the LED light, and a few wires plus 2 AAA batteries.) It doesn't need to be all that solid and my arthritic hands are very grateful.Overall, I'm pretty happy I got it. Now let's see if it's novel enough to help me initiate tasks and stay focused for more than a couple of days...+×+×+×+×+×+To prevent issues with it "not working", I "reboot" the timer by turning it clock side up.(If already clock side up, turn to a different side, wait for the beep, go back to "clock up" and wait for the beep. Make sure the clock shows 00:00.)NOW turn it to the amount of time you want and listen for the beep. Verify it's working by carefully spinning it until the clock is facing you. It should be just a short time less than you set it for, e.g. if you set it for 5 minutes, it will show something like 04:45 (or 4:30 if you're slow like me!)When it beeps when done, carefully turn the timer back to clock up and wait for the beep. Now it's ready for you to use again!(I found that if I turned the timer too quickly/roughly or didn't get the beep, the movement wouldn't register properly.)

This is really adorable and works great. Very handy (better than constantly starting my phone timer). Easy to use and loud. I use it for holding stretches for 30 seconds. Exactly what I needed.

I got the violet one and it is so cute and works exactly as advertised! I have ADHD and I was looking for a super easy timer that's very visual to help me stay on track (I have pretty bad time blindness).The cool thing is, when the timer goes off, you can simply flip it to another time setting to add more time. For instance, if you want to time 50 minutes, just start the timer with 30 minutes, and when it goes off, flip it to the 20 minute side and when it goes off you're done!It does require two AAA batteries that are NOT included, so buy them ahead of time to avoid frustration.I've used this timer every day since I've gotten it and I'm so glad I got it. :-)

I returned the first one because it failed 80% of the time. The problem is with the switch that detects which side is up. Judging by the rattle noise when flipping the cube, seems it's a tiny steel ball that falls into one of six pockets to make an electrical switch close. But the ball, and/or contacts must be oxidized and/or dirty and so connection is intermittent. I flip the cube to start a timer and it doesn't. Or it starts, but then starts again a few seconds later.The second unit I received is not perfect either, but was better and, at least on the two timers I used most (1 min, 3 min), it might work 80% of the time.After several months use, it's gotten worse, to the point of just emitting random beeps. I took it apart. Fixed some poor solder joints, cleaned up some stray solder, but it didn't help. I truly believe the problem is with the gravity switch. Rather than trying to re-engineer it, I just replaced it with a TickTime Cube which cost more, but a) works, b) has so many more options, c) has a countdown display that is always upside-right, and can be read from a couple meters away at nearly any angle.
