Customer Reviews
Nice but way overpriced
Bought this in cherry a week ago. Nice gong, works well, but very cheesy for the money. Tiny black plastic buttons on the bottom seem so flimsy -- especially compared to the nice solid wood pyramid. I am afraid they will break! For this money, at least include the four batteries! The battery door is held on with two tiny metal screws that require a tiny Phillips Head screwdriver -- not the kind of thing you are likely to have -- just lucky my husband had one for his miniature train projects. I bought this because I wanted the nice gong sound but there is clearly a niche for someone who can offer a timer with a good sound for less money. I couldn't find one other than this one and am glad to have it but still can't get over the price!
Wonderful Meditation Timer
I would have rated this 5 stars except for the price. Even though it was expensive, it is a wonderful & attractive timer. I wanted something gentler than the kitchen timer I used to use, but quiet enough that it wouldn't wake up my husband the light sleeper in the next room. It has 2 volume settings, and the gentle gongs are perfect - it brings me gently out of meditation but my husband never hears a thing.
How did I live without it?
I use my Meditation Timer all the time and it's just wonderful -- the added benefit, I think, being that it signals the beginning of the session as well as the end. It gives you a few moments, after you set it, to get settled -- and the sound of the chimes is perfect for slowing you down, getting things started. My only complaint would be that it didn't look exactly as I'd expected. I ordered the varnished wood version, which in the the picture seems very rich and brown, when in fact the color is more in the orange family. It took me a while to get used to. But I am used to it now, and my only regret is that it's not smaller and easy to travel with, for I'd like to be able to take it with me when I go places. As it is, it seems to fragile, or the shape is too easy to damage, or something. I'll have to make do with the old egg timer on the road -- a sorry second.
