Title: Loud and Long? - a cruel hoax
Review: I purchased this timer because I needed a loud tone. I found this specific item by googling "loud kitchen timer". It arrived today. I installed the battery and tested it. What a disappointment. I could barely hear the alarm tone in a silent room with it sitting on the desk directly in front of me. If you move away from the kitchen while cooking, or even if you remain in the same room and run some water, or have any other background noise, you will never hear the wimpy bleating of this so called "Loud and Long" timer when it goes off. It seems to perform all other functions well enough, but be prepared for scorched pots and pans if you are depending on this to audibly notify you of a completed cooking time. I rated it a one due to badly misleading and false advertising.
Is the review positive or negative?
