"Really handy and loud (which is great)"
My parents bought me one of these years ago as they have one. Really handy, I keep mine stuck to the fridge but now an again the fact that you can use the stand to means I can easily stand it anywhere round the house. I have timers on all sorts of electronic devices as many so but keep using this as you cannot fail to miss when time is up! After many years of use the buttons on mine and my parents' timer got a bit dodgy but that has not stopped me buying another two to replace them. Just wish I could have selected the colours I wanted online.
