Do these Timers ever shut off? I bought one to keep in my culinary supplys bag for school and work but I don't want it beeping at me after a tool hits

No Off/On switch but you can easily remove the single AAA battery to keep it from being accidentally turned on. Put both in a small Ziploc bag in your kit, purse or backpack.

Turns off after about a minute, but if your tools are constantly bumping it, it could turn itself "on". There is no way to totally prevent that. If you zero it out after each use, problem. would be minimized

I'm not sure I understand this question. But if you are asking if it can beep accidentally, the answer is "yes". If your bag is bumped in such a way that the Hour and Min buttons are pressed at the same time (the Clear function), then the timer will beep. If that's a issue, you could take the battery out until you want to use the timer.

Okay - it does turn off evenutually, but it does go one for a while before doing so. At least 30 seconds, I gave up listening to it.

I have one made by Pyrex that does a 10 and 5 minute warning beep. Love it! I got mine at the local Pyrex/Corningware store several years ago. I don't know if they still carry them.

I have noticed that a lot of manual timers, need to be turned past a certain point in order to "ring" at the end of the time. If u don't turn it past 10 it might not ring loud enough when time is up.

What do you mean? The only timer I have seen is the auto shut off after certain time. That is about it.

Kate, I have to amend my answer. I happened to be sitting right next to my difuser this afternoon when it turned off. It did beep. It's a soft enough beep I hadn't heard it before. Even when it's fairly close to the bed during the night, I've never heard it. So, the answer is actually yes. It does beep when it shuts off.

There are, I believe, 1 quick beeps that are just an alert which I do not find annoying. If you are standing over the toaster waiting for your food you will know when it is done and that part may seem annoying. However, ifyou are multitasking and need to be in another room for a short period of time, I find the beep a helpful reminder.

I don't think the beeps are too loud. They seem to be the same volume as our toaster oven. No annoying reminder beeps!

No the timer beeps every 3 minutes to inform you to move to the next spot. The unit will shut off after 9 minutes when it's on the pulsating setting and shuts off in 15 minutes when it's on the constant setting. Also FYI this is my third unit, it does break after about 4 months! The customer service is great though, they will send you a replacement.

I do not see a way to turn the sound off. For in class timing I use my smart phone set on vibrate.This is a great timer in the kitchen.

Yes, it continues to beep for 60 seconds after it goes off. As I said in my review I would not buy this again because it has such a short alarm time. If you step outside or go to the garage for something you may not realize it has gone off for several minutes. The other one I have rings for five minutes and also has a countdown screen which continues to count down so you'll know how long ago it went off. Just my thoughts.

I have use this timer for about a year and it has been great. It does seem to go through batteries fairly quick. There is no way to disable the sound by pressing a button. I would imagine though that it would be possible to disable the sound by opening up the timer itself and disconnecting the wire from the speaker. I have done that before on numerous kitchen timers.

I do not. I cook them and once the timer goes off leave them set for 2 to 5 min in the machine still covered. Come out perfect.

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.

As noted by others it does shut itself off when the timer runs down. The problem with mine is that the "ding" stopped working awhile ago so sometimes I don't KNOW that it is finished cooking until I look at it and see that it has indeed turned itself off.

Yes, Meishka, the timer clicks while toasting but not too loudly . It dings once when time is up.

Oh my word. Thank you for the question. YES. I tried it as you said... I was wondering why my timers would all start over. I'v purchased a lot of them, so I won't forget things.. Yes... I put in 3 seconds, it went off; so I pushed stop. Then, I just pushed start again, and it counted down the 3 seconds. I did it about 4 times... 'cool' and thanks again for the question.

It does. In fact, it beeps until you shut it off AND it keeps time during this period so you know how long you have neglected your pot. Very hand, This is the 4-way timer that Cook's Country has rated "best". Just in case that matters.
