How hard are the buttons to push (arthritis) and is there a nag reminder that the unit is done (beeps every minute or so after completion)? Thanks

I guess I haven't noticed how hard they are to push. They seem pretty sensitive from what I can tell. And there is a nag reminder if you leave something in there.

The buttons are great; no problems whatsoever. And yes, there's a nag beeper.

I can't answer that question. I do know that the two push buttons that come with the unit have different signals so be careful when installing. One sends a signal for the front door which is the chime. The other button sends a signal for the back door or other location and is the typical door bell (ding/dong). I would assume the buttons are unique to the unit. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Yes. There is a button to push. If you put the correct one closer to the kitchen it won't go off very often. When it does go off it is VERY loud since all the alarms start beeping. We are very happy with the system.

You have to push the button and listen for the beeps. I had to read the directions and try several times before I got the hang of it.

I reset it every night after preparing my brew for the morning. It only takes pressing the menu button three time and then the brew button until it beeps. No biggie.

Yes to both questions. This is the best timer I've ever had. Very flexible very user friendly.I've owned two of these timers and have never had the problem of it continuing to beep after pushing the stop button.

I have not had that problem. Push in until it snaps. I had to push a little harder than I originally thought.

Thanks Jonathan. I Agree with Brent... Easy. Used an exacto blade placed the circuit board at a right angle to the top half of scale and gently sawed the Copper wire that's track led to R9 until it cut. I even placed a small piece of plastic between to ensure no chance of connectivity. Carefully reassembled and replaced all screws. Works no more annoying beep!

There is a saftly right underneath the push button to start. It just slides down and clicks into place. You have to do it every time.

If it beeps at all at any time I don't hear it. It's also tempermental at times when you're going from one time set to another. The last one of the same brand that I had ceased one of it's button functions and had to be returned,

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!

Yes, it beeps when you push buttons. The buttons don't have any tactile feedback so that's to let you know when you've got a successful press. The noise is momentary and it seems like a reasonable sound and volume for a button push.

THE BUTTON ON MINE also has a small movement but has a nice sharply defined click, 3 positions full, half, and off. My guess is that if you have to push it really hard it is defective

You have to push a button. But it reminds you to. But you should still clean it periodically.

What I found on this highly annoying issue is that the button is too small for my thumb. But the symptom should appear when trying to start too. The work around is to build up the button to make it easier to push. I've used trimmed rubber bumper pads, but I'm thinking a drop or two of some kind of glue might be better.

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.

The buttons beep when setting both minutes and seconds, also on Start or Stop. They are about 6 or 7 out of 10 on a loudness scale, where 10 is annoyingly loud, and 1 is barely audible. I can hear the alarm in a room about 20 - 25 steps away.
