Does this timer beep until you press a button? I find it very hard to find this feature on any unit, GE microwave had it, but new GE unit didn't. :-(

Yes, it does. It beeps fairly rapidly for the first minute. After that, it beeps less often, but continues to beep. By the way, after a timer goes off, the timer actually continues to run, counting FORWARDS. So, let's say you set a timer to run for thirty minutes, and the item you're timing is supposed to be "thirty to thirty five minutes." At thirty, it goes off. And several minutes later, you come to where the timer is. You see that it went off three minutes and thirty-five seconds before you arrived, because that's what it's "counted up" to. It's the best, most fully-featured timer I've found so far. And the ability to type the numbers, rather than "click-click-click" perpetually to get to some higher number... it's a real benefit.

The timer beeps continuously for about 30 seconds then a 5 second pause double beep, 5 second pause double beep etc. I love the OXO timer. very easy to set, love having multiple timers.

Yes, it beeps when you set each setting.For example, once you press a preset button like 'Toast', 'Bake' etc..., then on heat setting and then on time setting.You can rotate the knob as much as you want back and forth but when you press it to set, it beeps once.Also, it beeps few times when pre-heat is done, few minutes or a minute before cooking is done and then when it's done.And, no you cannot change noise volume.Also, it's not noise. Why anyone would consider a beep from oven or microwave NOISE is over my head.It's NOT noise but a needed feature.But, it's not an issue so don't make it a big deal like bunch of others do here.I actually like it since it tells me my settings are being set.

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.

Do you mean at the end of the time set? If so, no. Mine beeps for 30 or 60 seconds, when the set time is over.. I don't get any kind of 'reminders'.

I have had my microwave beep and it was because the time had lapsed and my food was done and the door had not been opened to disengage the event. So I think your beeping occurs because you have asked the appliance to do something and then when the task is complete and you don't open the door the event is not disengaged and the appliance is providing a reminder. That is all I can think of.

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.

How much noise does it make ?? This is an electronic timer and I don't think it makes anymore noise than the audible click you may here when it is programmed to turn on (or off). You may have it confused with analog timers that make a slight rattling noise as long as they are plugged in. This timer is very quiet.

(Assuming this is the same model I bought...) The first part of the cook cycle (bringing it to a boil, I imagine) doesn't exactly have a timer, but it is more of a loading symbol. Then after it has been heated all the way, a countdown begins as to when all the water is absorbed. I can attest that the times are indeed different depending on how much you put in it. The beep it made when it was finished scared the crap out of me the first time though! It's really loud. Hope this helped!

Yes, it shuts off and beeps, except when using the "cook-by-timer" feature. I believe it is because you can add more time after the first setting, so you would have to actually turn it Off when you are finished. All the other features turn off automstically.

I have not heard any clicking sounds when turning the knobs and have not heard/seen a timer. Maybe it is in a newer version. Good luck!

Not really. The timer counts up silently until 99:99:99. When you set it to count down (4 minutes for example) and the time runs out (4 minutes passes) it always beeps. Once you hit any button it stops beeping. Alternatively, it does quit beeping after 1 minute. Cannot silence the beeping.

Yes, it beeps. I don't mind the initial beep, it's the reminders afterward I could do without. Beeps set aside, it's a great microwave.

no. however, the timer will go off at exactly 20 minutes and will beep until it stops by itself automatically.but if you want it to go off in 20 minutes again, all you have to do is to press the start/stop button and it will go another 20 minutes. and if you want it for another 20 minutes, just do the same....again and again every 20 minutes. simple.

It does beep when it's done. There are no instructions on silencing the beep. Sorry. I like it telling me when it's done.

if you shut off at twenty minutes when alarm sounds...it will reset to twenty minutes, but you will manually have to press start again to start the 20 min countdown. if you don't shut off, it will alert 'beep, etc. for one minute, then shut off and reset. still have to press start to countdown again. loudest timer i could find. chefzee

No warning beep, but when time is up, you definitely can hear the beeping. I find that mine beeps for up to 1 minute beyond the set time before shutting off.

It makes no beeping sounds. When you press the controls (like on-off, or to turn temp up or down) the button responds with a soft click. It is not annoying--just lets you know that you have pressed.hard enough to be sensed. I turn it on in the morning to make coffee and hear nothing--I have to notice temp and/or when light goes out to know it's ready.
