Everything else about this oven is great, and it looks good too.  But my old GE oven timer allowed me to set a minute and second timer. So when it counted down, I could see how many seconds remained. In this oven, the timer counts down by the minute.  The countdown by the seconds occurs only when a minute remains. If you set the timer for any longer than 1  minute,  you have to wait for each minute to elapse to 
see the timer count down.
