 Great Product - Not that hard to program. Highly Recommend! August 19, 2008
Loving my Girls (FarmLand, Illinois)
I have been very impressed with this little timer. As a stay at home mom with three young children, my house has been more organized than ever. My kids are finsihing their responsibilities in record time (along with a cool token chart set up like a chucky cheese reward system).
The timer is easy to program after you remember what buttons to press and it only took me a few times of operating to remember. The timer can be turned off by holding down the menu button for three seconds (as stated in the manual) The timer can be paused by hitting an arrow and restarted by hitting start.
My recommendation would be to have two standard times. You can use a manual and an auto and it is easier to keep using the two times instead of reprograming each time (but not impossible). When using chores, I give them chores that I think can be accomplished in ten minutes or less and constantly use that time. If I feel that they can't make that time and they are working very hard, I will pause it for a while so they won't be sad/penalized when they don't beat the timer.
Overall - This is a great tool to help any mom or teacher!
Note- Learning Resources is a top notch, high quality brand with many great educational tools, games, etc. (I am not in any way affiliated, just a very satisfied customer)
 Great idea, poor construction July 31, 2008
RLL (Tempe, AZ)
I orginally bought this product to use as a tool to help my autistic son. I thought this would work well as a visual reminder. I set it up so that he would use his personal hygiene time wisely before school. Once I learned how to operate it (it was challenging) it was indeed helpful to my son. My problem is that this product lasted somewhere around 6-9 months and then quit working. When I bought it I paid much more for it than what Amazon is asking. I like the concept but I don't believe the manufacturer has all the bugs worked out yet. Back to the drawing board!
 Ok but could be better for the price July 10, 2008
N. Bright (Cleveland, OH USA)
We bought this timer for our 3 year old's timeouts. It really does help him with timeout to see the lights flash to tell him when he's almost done.
But, for the price, I would have expected this to be easier to use (to use the Auto timer you have to push three buttons to start on a pre-set time) or be more flexible in programming (you cannot change the order of the lights to go from red to green instead of green to red).
Great concept, unfortunate execution July 1, 2008

This product concept is great, and when I take the time to set it up, it completely solves any problems we have with transitions. My son loves it and asks for it. Unfortunately, it is a huge pain to set up. Every time you want to change the amount of time on the timer, you have to go through a painful process with lots of button pushing, because you can't set the time without setting all of the options for sound effects and lights. The buttons are hyper-sensitive so sometimes after pressing the buttons 15 times you end up with a "double-click" that you didn't intend and have to start all over. If you always use the same time (5 minutes, for example) then it's no problem. Otherwise you might consider a kitchen timer. It would be a lot easier to use.

mom of 3 under 3 (MD)
We bought this timer as a result of having serious meltdowns from our four year old. She seemed to take forever to eat her meals, clean up after herself or pretty much anything that involved her completing a small task "by herself".
Thanks to this timer, those extended sessions are now a thing of the past. It is definitely not her favorite toy item, but it is a welcomed addition to our stress free days.
She does everything in a more timely manner because she knows that she will loose a privilege if the light turns red on her. It worked wonders after only 1 implementation. (Use a reasonable time frame when you are programming)
As long as you can read and follow directions, it is easy to operate.
