Elegant Wooden Pomodoro Timer Cube Original High-End Quality Desk Timer for Productivity & Focus, Ideal for Work & Study, Beautiful Decorative Object for Home or Office

This is delightful! A little tricky to set up (read the instructions, they are pretty clear). The little bell sound is calming but loud enough to use as a wake up alarm. I haven't used it as a pomodoro timer yet, but hope to soon. I know it will be wonderful for it.

I enjoy it (it’s cute and I like the bell) but it is grossly overpriced. This is not an elegant or particularly well made item. Certainly $20 would be a reasonable price, but the quality is no where near the price I paid for this. I didn’t open it right away and then was traveling so missed the return window.

I expected this to be much more cheeseball when I ordered it. Just wanted a timer. The simple design belies an interface where you twist the bell to manage menus, and you have customizable pomodoro times and breaks with four pomodoro sessions (not more or less). It also has a timer, alarm, and opt-in HOURLY CHIME, which I wasn't expecting. To be honest, I didn't read the description, so I was surprised by the extent of functionality. Sound is adequate. I'm aware there is a little clicking before it goes off with the bell, and in-room it is audible, but I believe it's fine. Not an ugly sound.Overall, pleased.

This is an elegant looking piece and it looks very nice sitting on my desk.Keep the user manual handy. It took me a while to get this to turn on. I have it plugged in to charge, but it may have come uncharged, which is not usually the case. I also note that most of the troubleshooting solutions involve charging the unit, so it may use up a lot of energy. Anyway, once I got it turned on, my next challenge was to get into a menu item. I got the "rotate the bowl" part, but the "press the bowl" part was not responding. It took a minute to figure out they mean, to press DOWN on the bowl, not just touch the bowl, and then it will select a menu item. Finally passed that test.The brass bowl is a bit high pitched, but I would expect that since it's only about 2" in diameter. The instructions mention it's a copper bowl, but it is most definitely not copper colored, it's brass colored. When the timer goes off, there is the thumping sound at first because the clapper starts to swing, but it takes a few times to get up the momentum to swing it far enough to hit the bowl. Once it gets that far, it rings 4 times. So, like others, I notice the thumping.The setup menu for date and time is interesting. Time actually has you set hour, minutes, and seconds. I've rarely ever seen seconds as an option on any digital clock. I do like that you can modify the pomodoro settings, although for now, I'm using the default 25/5 option.

Beautiful little piece. Fits in decor without being intrusive. I love the soft tone instead if a jarring loud alarm in the morning. Perfect for my morning mindfulness drawings, Gently gets me out of my periods of 'flow' to stretch or massage. Easier to get back to my work afterward. Going to purchase another on.

Before buying this bell I read about the thumping sound that this bell makes before you hear the actual bell ringing. The reviews were split on this issue. Well it turns out that the thumping sound is an issue. I bought this bell for my husband so he can time his meditations. He does not like to use it because he says that the thumping sounds gets him out of the meditation not the bell sound. The mechanism that gets the bell swinging is just to loud.Update: After submitting this review the seller contacted me and offered a full refund. I gladly accepted. Thank you Excelsior USA. I look forward to an improved product.

It works well, love this product

The media could not be loaded. This little timer/alarm is really cute and is good quality, but I don’t think the price is worth it at over $81. The sound is okay and the tinkling of the bell is peaceful, but I don’t really like the clicking noise it makes when the stick holding the ball is moving in order to make it ring. The clicking sound takes away from the peaceful sound of the bell. Though it’s advertised as just a timer, it actually is a clock and has several alarm clock functions as well. The way you operate it is by pushing down the little metal bowl and spinning it to decrease and increase the time or change the functions, so it looks pretty classy without any visible buttons. It’s very easy to use; It comes with detailed instructions but I actually played around with it on my own and figured out how to use it without needing the instructions much. It offers several different alarm and timer functions and the charge seems to last a while, but overall, while I really like this timer alarm, it just is a little more money than I would choose to spend on an alarm.
