I have the extra big and loud timer by ThermoWorks that was the single-timer winner. I've been using it for about a year, and it is AWESOME. That one, unlike the other one by ThermoWorks, has a magnet and can be put on the fridge, which I really like so it's always there but not on the counter. I wanted all the buttons to set the time and I wanted it loud. Perfect. It counts up after it goes off and will beep ongoing for one minute and then do reminder beeps every 30 seconds. Also, you can pick out of many colors, which is a nice bonus.

My Google display is by far my favorite kitchen timer. "hey Google, set a timer for 10 minutes for pasta" "hey Google set a timer for 25 minutes for chicken"....... No touching anything, visual display of all remaining times and unlimited timers available.

I use an infrared by Etekcity (around $20) and I love it. Use it for making candy all the time and it's accurate enough for that. Also works great for deep frying and checking the accuracy of your oven temp. Bought it in 2016 and have had one battery change (9 volt).

just gonna chip in. i was gifted an oxo triple timer years ago. changed my cooking enjoyment immensely! Major upgrade from an iphone or apple watch. I went years successfully cooking without it. But it's become probably my single favorite kitchen gadget! It just makes all the mental math so much easier 1 -- having three timers is amazing. i bake bread, and it's just great to have multiple steps timed out at once. And it's great if i'm boiling pasta AND doing something else, for instance 2 -- i more often use it as a stopwatch instead of a timer. so if a recipe says to brown a veggie for 5 minutes, and i throw it in at minute 14, i know the step is complete at minute 19. so easy! 3 -- when the timer expires, it automatically becomes a stopwatch. so it's super easy to go from one mode to the next 4 -- the wedge shape is key. it's set on the counter and i can see it from most anywhere in the kitchen. 5 -- endlessly easy to use. so intuitive. works exactly as you'd expect. the buttons are great. and it's not hard to keep it clean! (well i generally start by keeping my hands clean, towels nearby always)

I have the Extra Big & Loud. It's okay. It's flat, but has a kickstand and magnets on the back, which are both helpful (plus a mounting keyhole for a screw if you need that option). I love the big buttons and the fact you can count up like a stopwatch if needed. On the downside, while you can adjust the volume, it goes from loud to very loud, so I wish it had some quieter settings despite the name. It's not backlit, so using it in dim lighting is an issue. It's also very easy to inadvertently clear the memory, so that could be improved. 3.5/5 stars.

I have a mechanical dial timer but I never use it. I wrote a computer program that times multiple things at once if needed, and uses text-to-speech to tell you "Pizza" "Sauce" "Biscuits" or whatever. My computer is hooked up to a loud amplifier and 30-lb old-school speakers. which helps.

I bought my favourite timer from the dollar store. Has three buttons (More time, Less time, and Start/stop). I actually had two of them (if ever I wanted two of them going at once). After many years, I broke one (It fell into a pot of water). But hey, I'm only out a dollar. So, if I had $25 to spend on a kitchen timer, I'd get one from the dollar store, and spend the remaining $24 on... a dozen eggs.

I'll keep my Apple HomePod thx. Multiple timers, NAMED timers, AND alarms (different alert tone). E.G. "hey Siri, set a 8 minute pasta timer". I can ask, "hey Siri, how much time is left on the pasta timer?". Plus Siri will do conversions and equivalents, "hey Siri, how many cups are in a quart?". All without touching anything - and I can tell it how loud I want it to be, "hey Siri, set volume to 60%". Big Bonus… It plays music - and no batteries required! Yeah thx, I'll keep my HomePod.

As an added bonus I can control many of the settings on my oven by voice.

Alexa used to answer the question, "Alexa, for how long has the timer been ringing?" She would say, "Your timer has been sounding for 2 minutes 32 seconds." Now she just pretends to not understand you. Counting upward after ringing is very important. Still, you don't have to touch anything with Alexa.

It was good adam pointed out what common features and issues reviewers liked and didn't like, but your selection of timers are far too similar, as there are so many other design types (single event, not full 0-9 keypad) of kitchen and homework timers that you completely overlooked. I have an older model single event oxo timer and find it's 0-9 buttons are tiny have limp travel (not sure if you hit them or not) and readout is too small and low contrast to ever trust oxo again. I suggest people here search Liorque brand for single event timers they may find cheaper yet with useful features, low effort time control and great legibility.

I use an Amazon Echo as a kitchen timer. It's voice activated so even if my hands are full I can still say "start a 15 minute timer" and it takes care of the rest. But it's not great for short times, and I haven't figured out how to tell it to make multiple timers. I think I'm going to get that Oxo timer. A lot of things I do use the same amount of time so memories will be handy.
