Does the clock count down the time remaining until the buzzer goes off?

Yes. Green to yellow, then to red counting down . Sadly ours died in less than 9 mo.

Yes...but it's horrible. I took a chance, even though ere were bad reviews, and it stopped working after about a month. I changed the batteries and it still doesn't work.

Did not check. The unit we have works fine except the end buzzer will stay on until the power is removed (normal function?)

Do you have the dials set for different times (with the yellow at less time than the green)? For us, we have the green dial turned to 30 and the yellow dial at 25. When we hit start, the yellow light and buzzer goes off in 25 minutes and the red light and final buzzer goes off 5 minutes later (at the 30 minute mark). If you set your timer this way and it doesn't work, then yes, it's defective.

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, the controller has a timer mode and will count down the remaining minutes on the display.

From my experience, no. If the clock is in countdown mode, to have it count back up, all you have to do is quickly switch it over to count up mode. Its a great clock, but a little limited on features. Hope this helps.

Mike, Definitely. While it's plugged in there isn't much of an issue; I've found if the charge runs down or if it's cold (we played ultimate outside during the fall with the clock as timekeeper) that it'll intermittently turn off/on otherwise the clock is good. I don't make much use of the buzzer option (read: I disconnected it) so I'm not sure how loud it is but it's reliable and easily reset.

Down, just like most timers that I know. When you look at it at any given time you know how much more time you have until it rings.

The "timer" is by how much water you use, and it comes with a little measuring device & built in piercing tool.As far as buzzer.......no, I just putter around in the kitchen until I hear it stop bubbling/steaming. I love it.

yes it does, it just sometimes would countdown but not buzz. It wasn't consistent.

Yes Donald it does - but if you set it - it can also count downwards - depending on what you are wanting it for. It is a great clock. Joyce

No. It's a countdown timer alarm. Set the hours and minutes you want it to go off in.

Hi - If you set the timer to count down, after it counts down and goes off, it will count up, but no alarm at the end of a count up time if that is what you are looking for. BEWARE of one thing about this timer. If you set it for an amount of time and it goes off, a normal individual's (me?) expectation would be that when you hot the switch to turn it off, that's it and the alarm will not continue to sound. Well, that's wrong. This crazy product will continue to ring every (30 secs? 1 minute?) until you go stark raving mad and exile it to another room so you no longer have to hear it. BUT - there is a solution I only recently discovered on my own. After you hit the STOP button, hit the button on the upper left side of the screen to return to the Clock function and the alarm will not continue to sound. This may sound crazy but the alarm problem was so annoying I avoided using this timer for about 2 years until I stumbled over this solution. And in answer to your second question, you would have to set alarm times and have the alarm go off to do a count up, but the 3 channels are independent.

No. It is a very quiet timer. It does tick, but you have to be very close to hear it.

It always counts down seconds. On the timer at least. I haven't used the "count-up" feature.

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.
