Does it have the standard "ticking" of a regular egg timer? I want to use it in business meetings, but ticking would be annoying.

Yes, I hear ticking from time to time. The light it really low, I can only use it with my boys at night. Even then the light does not always work.

Nope. No ticking. Quiet. Perfect for sensory sensitove kids and quiet mtgs.

Yes it does tick so you probably wouldn't like this one for what you need it for.

Yes, it has a buzzer. I have never had it shut off automatically. The timer depends on the amount of water used and the amount of water depends on how many eggs you use.

No, it does not. Just has an audible "alarm" for when your eggs are done. It will not shut off until you walk over to it an shut it off. I believe the instructional booklet says that you should not only turn it off, but unplug the unit so it can cool off for cleaning.

I'd seek another timer, after a year the button used to set and start the count down timer are sticky and take some effort to make work. The set up of the time memories is not the most intuitive.

I've never double checked the timer but find the settings work fine. I use 16-17 mins for 7 large hard boiled eggs and they were perfect. I'd go with the timer setting and not worry about whether or not it times out perfectly. It's all about the final results...firm, golden yellow eggs and no green.

I have one too and the timer doesn't work. I quite working after a couple of months. Other than that, it seems to be holding up ok. I don't have a contact number but wish my timer wouldn't have stopped working.

I have my Chef's Choice cooker for over a year and never experienced that. I have tried to time the egg cooker with the clock to no avail. The clock is always takes more time than the cooker. If your eggs were fine, don't give it another thought. My solution was that the timer is smarter than I am so I'm letting it do its job! Hope this helps!

I am not aware of it. Of course I have it about 10 feet away from me. I have not taken it on a trip yet to see if it clicks next to my head. But I do not hear it click. All other clocks of this type bothered me with the ticking. It is small and practical. My only criticism is that it does not illuminate during the night, but I can live with that.

Just push the "minute" and "second" (small_) buttons at the same time. I use this timer daily at work, and I really like it!

It could do something like that. For an hour long meeting, you could do something like this: 1. Set a 45 minute timer with a low beep with a one second duration 2. Set a 5 minute timer with a low beep with a one second duration 3. Repeat step 2 4. Set the last 5 minute timer (for a 60 minute total duration) with a large beep with a 1 second duration. At the end of the 60 minute program, the gymboss will give off beeps until given user input. Hopefully something like that works. You can tailor it how you see fit. Pun not intended.

Egg timer, mostly. One of its functions is to regulate flow by its dial while the flow of water into it is constant. But that has no effect on time. That's where the "egg timer" comes in.

It has a very loud buzzer that sounds. But you do have to go over to it and shut it off. Which you want to do because it is sooooooo loud. Ha. ha.It will do a large egg. I always buy extra large eggs and they all fit. You might have to adjust the amount of water - add a smidge more to get your eggs cooked exactly like you want. I love my egg cooker.

No, it does not automatically turn off, but I has a audible alert that tells you when eggs are done.

No, it's like the cheap twisty timers that aren't SUPER accurate, only with a light. My light broke for no apparent reason not long after I bought it. Better luck to you!

You are welcome...it doesn't have a 30 second timer either...not a big deal but I was used to that...have gotten used to the new one and like it.

If you are referring to the LED indicators around the buttons, there is no way to turn them off. Why would you need to. They are the signal when the audible alarm is off. Green turns to red when time is up. They are very discreet too. That is the whole reason I got this timer & very satisfied with it. You can use it silently without others being aware of it. I use it to time speakers and presentations. I can glance over at it and tell when time is up, but it doesn't interrupt anything going on. It only flashes red for one minute, but the count up passed 00 time continues.
