I absolutely love this clock. It’s compact but does exactly what I need it to do. I mostly use it while I’m cooking in order to time things , but I also love being able to see the date and temperature as well. The fact that it’s battery operated and I don’t have a cord on my counter , or have to give up an outlet to plug it in to is another favorite feature of mine. I’m thinking of ordering more in other colors for other rooms in my home ! If your looking for a clock with these features , this item is a must and it won’t disappoint!!
