Can you set the length of countdown time? For example, counting down from 20 minutes?

Not on this model. Check out the C30001 model for more options. It still doesn't go under 1 hour though. http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Touch-C30001-Shut-Off-Setting/dp/B002KKCVYQ/ref=pd_sim_hpc_1

Yes, you can set it for longer. Each little tab is for 15 mins., so if you push down 4 in a row, you have one hour, 8 two hours, etc..

Yes. Push the Func Set Button and the menu appears for the self timer, from there you can select 10 sec or 2 sec and the third option you can do a custon setting.

You can set the time you want such as 8:00 am. You hold they'd "delay" button, and set the time on the clock. When you release the delay bottom, the current time is displayed. Hope that helps!

I just tried to set it for a 24 hour countdown. The most I could do was 9:99:99. I don't know about a count up, but I imagine it would be similar.

You can use it like a standard stopwatch. I don't know if it rolls over on counting up, but there is a one digit day position on the stopwatch function, so it might count up to 9 days, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. I bought it specifically for the countdown feature, which works very well. You can check on their website for more specifics.

It can count down from any time you set to. It will definitely count down from 35 seconds.

I don't know. We use ours on the wall of our gym as a clock. Since it has the "seconds", we use that for timed circuits in our classes. But we don't use it as a countdown timer, so I can't really be of assistance with this question, unfortunately. We LOVE the clock and it's been perfect for what we needed :)

I have not discovered a countdown timer, which is not to say there is not one with certainty. There is much to discover through use, not all that well documented in the manual or online.

Yes you can set it at 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 1 minute, 15 minutes and 1 hour.

Yes. Very simple. To count up just press start/stop button. It immediately starts counting UP per second. To stop the count, just press the start/stop button again when desired. Will count up to 9 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. After noting time expired, just press the clear button to reset to zero. This timer is elegantly simple.

You can set the hours, minutes, and seconds separately - so yes, it would be possible to do that. However, to set it up and start it takes pressing several buttons so it may not be the best tool for timing such short intervals.

according to the manual you can set the Interval to: 5 sec, 20 sec, 1 min, 30 mins, 1 hour, 1 day.

I don't think you can. There is no actual time setting. You just set the amount of hours from the certain point. There is no build in clock or anything like that.

I am sure the timer allows you to manually override the timed settings. (Most timers do allow this.) The On/Off buttons provide this capability.

No you can't set seconds, however, it counts down by seconds. You can set hours & minutes.

Yes, you can set it for 14 hours. Just press the tabs down for when you want to timer to go on and off.
