All Three Timers Visible All The Time!
This Samshow timer has so many cool features; the best one is that all three timers are visible at the same time, *all* the time. My previous 3-channel timer required that each timer button had to be pressed to view the countdown on that particular timer, which was inconvenient at best and a real pain at worst. So when I found the Samshow, I was immediately on board with their design. Each timer on the Samshow automatically reverts to the last time entered with a one-two push of the same button; I find that so handy for brewing French Press coffee for 5 minutes every morning, or timing soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. I keep mine on the countertop, and though it's a bit tricky to open the stand in the beginning, it's stable when used with the stand on the countertop. The digits are clear and precise; I do not find the numbers at all hard to read, nor do they appear to be "blended" with other numbers on the display, which leads me to think this timer may be better suited to use with the stand as opposed to sticking it on the refrigerator at eye level. Another feature I'm so pleased with is the beeper when the countdown hits zero. There's a softer setting for people with good hearing, and a louder one for those of us who are "hearing challenged." The instructions do leave something to be desired, but it's not rocket science. Sit down and take the time to figure out how to use the functions; it's not hard once you get the hang of it. In addition, there's something about good quality that you can feel almost the moment your fingers touch something, and this timer evokes the very sensation that indicates this is a well-made device. Time will tell if I am right; so far my decision to buy this timer is proving to be one of my better choices this year. Highly recommended.

A really useful kitchen timer
This is a useful and easy to operate kitchen timer. My old kitchen timer stop working after many years ofservice. It was a three channel timer but could only display one channel at a time. It was a "West Bend" model that cost me about $10.00 forty years ago. I looked on line for a replacement and found something that looked like it, but is now made by a different company, and it cost about $60 to $80?I really liked my old timer, I maybe sentimental, but this is too much inflation for even me to accept.This timer, that I bought for about $13, does the same functions, and is a much more reasonable replacement.

Good value, couple annoyances
Overall, this timer is good value, I really can't complain to harshly for the price.It is very easy to use and fairly intuitive. It is possible to run all three timers in count-down mode independently. That is to say, you can start and stop each of the three timers individually. I find this very useful for timing various things around the house (watering plants, laundry cycles, etc.)Here are my two biggest annoyances. First is the clip/stand on the back. I imagine most people will stick this to their fridge with the included magnets, but I have mine on my wood desk so I use the clip/stand on the back. Issue is that it's very easy to accidentally knock the timer and have the stand collapse.Second, and I find this to be my biggest complaint. When setting up each timer value, you CANNOT just hold down a time increment button (hour, minute, second) and have it automatically tick up. This means that if you need a timer for say 45 minutes, you will be pressing the minute button 45 times. This I find very annoying and I'm surprised by this as I have used other older digital timers in the past that had this feature to just hold down a button and have the time increment automatically increase until you release the button.But again, for the price, can one really complain too much?

Sturdy Design
I bought this to replace a cheap single line timer that kept falling apart. It works really nicely. One of the buttons is stuck a little (the start/stop button) but it turns out that one isn't necessary since you can start the time with the timer buttons across the top. So, for my needs, it's still working great.

Chinese Crap
Bought the identical product several years ago so needing a second one I relied on Samsho to get a 2nd quality product. I suspect that post-icovid (or China-virus) china is having the same trouble USA does getting good workers. While it does time and alarm correctly, the alarm beeping lasted for 2 weeks. Despite replacing batteries repeatedly, the alarm is so quiet it can't be heard.As the title of my review states- "chinese crap". Buy American.

Great until ....
I really loved this timer until one day the magnets slipped and something happened inside. Perhaps I didn't really love this timer because the buttons made it hard to turn it on and off.This morning I am ordering a new kitchen timer because this timer has stopped working. I thought it was the batteries but I changed the batteries. I have owned it for more than a year so that's pretty good. and this timer proved to me that this is a tool I need in the kitchen. However, I think the plastic casing is cheap and the the buttons that control the timer are not that great.When it was working It certainly helped me in the kitchen. It was accurate And the magnetic backing was a plus.So, my timer lasted for more than a year and cost less than $15. and if you want to be in a position of having to replace a timer every couple of years, then this one might be a good one for you.Tomorrow My new timer will arrive and hopefully it will have a longer shelf life.

Great timer
I use this timer all the time when I am in the kitchen. It's easy to use and loud. The only thing I do not like about it is that it lifts off the fridge when you press the buttons. I just wish it were more stable it would make it easier to use instead of having to worry about it dropping on the floor.

Really nice product. Well constructed.
Product has 3 timers on it and they are so easy to use. It has both a clip on the back and magnets so you can pretty much stick this to anything you want.Digits are large and easy to read.When it arrives the batteries are put in backward on purpose to avoid the unit turning on during transit.I recommend this product.

Useful
The timer meets all my requirements. Memory is the best feature.A few intricacies are not part of its functionality that I liked with my previous timer which I couldn't buy a replacement for.

I Could Not Have Designed It Better
Ever since my multi-timer died from battery leakage, I have been seeking another. For years I tried phone apps—too battery draining, as they had to stay on-screen, & stopped me from listening to podcasts or being on calls while cooking.3 timers that can be used concurrently—a must for a serious cook. First timer I have used that shows all 3 countdowns (or ups) on one screen, Buttons are highly intuitive & the instructions actually make sense, as well. 2 loudness & mute options on the back. Fridge magnets are extra strong, but I lost a timer from repeated drops, so recommend against using that. Each timer goes to 100 hours, & is really fast to program, because of separate buttons for hour, minute, second. No pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, as there is a separate button for every function. Call me old fashioned, but I love that!Device even shuts off for battery retention. Uses 2 AAA batteries, included; cover slides off easily—no tool needed.Company was great: the timer showed up about 36 hours after we ordered it, & that counted two overnights, during extreme supply chain issues (Dec 2021).Brief problem in the beginning which resolved itself: only a few beeps when finished. But now it beeps for a full minute, so if you have this problem, use it a few times and it should be resolved.
