how many minutes long is the timer?

The time is not accurate or consistent. About a minute or two it seems. This is purely for fun not accuracy.

I'm sorry. I purchased this for a co-workers' little girl who is autistic. I bought it because it was recommended to keep her engaged. Didn't think about the timing element.

One minute, it is small and the fluid motion is more the attraction than the timing.

Hello - this one has a timer so you can set it for as long as you like. What are you making that is so long?

I think it's 3 seconds to half an hour or something like that. You can't set it specifically, you just have to turn the dial and test it.

It has a self timer built in for one to three hours. It is not designed to come on every 30 minutes. Sorry.

Not very long at all. That's actually one of my complaints. Mine shuts off in less than 30 seconds...

Yes, no more than 12 hours according to the manual. Usually though I use the delay timer to delay when it starts so it is done closer to when I want it ready. Delay timer is up to 15 hours.

It has a timer that you can set for any number of minutes or seconds up to 9 hours

i think it takes 2-3 hours. My husband uses it. He bought this timer that plugs into the wall (from a hardware store or something), and sets it so that it will be ready for him when he needs it (on a daily basis). Pretty cool!

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

The to truth is its been a long time since I used this timer, so I don't remember, I don't recommend this timer, it's super hard to set the time, and it broke easy. Sorry

The timer will continue to chime for a while. I've never tried to find out for how long, but I know more than one minute. Marv

There is a 30 minute timer. You can just reset it if you want a longer session. You only have to turn the timer dial to do that.

you do not have to push the button 14 times to get to seven minutes. you simply hold your finger on the start button and within seconds you have reached 7 minutes or more. note - the longer you hold the start/timer button in, the faster it goes. it takes about 3 to 4 seconds to reach 7 minutes. also, you can listen to the beeps. every beep equals 30 seconds. 14 beeps equals 7 minutes, but who wants to count 14 beeps. just keep you finger on the timer and look at the time.

It goes off for at least a minute if you do not reset the timer. I've never let it go longer than that because it's pretty loud and annoying.

Yes, it can be set for as little as 1 sec or as much as 59 sec. You just need to remember that time as added from left to right so if say you want something to go 3 minutes and 45 seconds you have to enter it as 345 start. I love the way this works because you don't have to hold down a button and wait for the time to count up or down to get where you want (and heaven forbid you miss the time and have to start over).

I have never seen a timer (and I have four different ones) that can do what you are asking. You can set it for 20 seconds, and it will ding. It automatically goes back to 20 seconds again when you press the stop. Maybe the answer is to buy two timers, set them on different time lengths and go from there.
