Amazon: AERYS Digital Kitchen Timer & Stopwatch at ₹99 (MRP ₹999, ~90% off)

Quick facts

Product overview

The AERYS Digital Kitchen Timer is a small countdown/stopwatch device with a large LCD, a 24-hour countdown range, a loud audible alarm, a flashing light alert, a magnetic back for fridge mounting and a retractable stand for desk use. It is marketed for cooking, study sessions and office timing. The unit runs on two AAA batteries, which are not bundled, so factor that small extra cost in. Amazon lists it under Home & Kitchen › Kitchen Tools › Kitchen Timers and the listing image shows a compact black handheld timer.

Why consider it

• Steep headline discount. At roughly ₹99 versus a ₹999 MRP, the per-unit outlay is very low for a dedicated timing device.
• Dual alert. Loud alarm plus a flashing light helps in noisy kitchens or for people who miss audible alerts.
• Flexible mounting. Magnetic back and retractable stand let you stick it on the fridge or stand it on a counter.
• Wide range. A 24-hour countdown covers long study or cooking windows that phone timers can also do, but a single-purpose device avoids screen distractions.

Pros and cons

Who should buy it

Useful for students wanting a distraction-free study timer, home cooks who need a loud kitchen countdown, or anyone who prefers a dedicated timer over a phone. Skip it if you already use your phone/oven timer and don't need a separate gadget, or if you don't have spare AAA batteries handy.

Final verdict

A genuinely cheap, functional timer at under ₹100. The merchant page confirms it is in stock at ₹99 (the community listing advertised ₹97 — a small drift, not a deal-breaker). Verification is partial: the price and availability were confirmed on Amazon.in, but the brand has limited review depth and battery life/durability can't be assessed from the listing alone. Worth it if you need a simple dedicated countdown timer and have AAA batteries to spare.
