does it KEEP alarming, or just beep and shut up?

It typically beeps about every second until you push the stop button. If you just ignore it, it will beep about 20 times and then stop on its own, showing the time you set on the alarm. I find this timer works very well; it survives being knocked down from the stove -- it is durable -- well worth the price.

Neither. It was advertised as having larger than normal read out. It does not. It was advertised as having a louder beeper and it does not. The seller lied.

No, once the food its ready it beeps around 5 times and then turns off itself, also the beeps are not loud and noisy.

It does have a beeping or to be option. It goes off for quite awhile...and if you do not acknowledge it (press the confirm button), it will go off again a few minutes later.

I am not sure I understand your question. Mine beeps three short beeps when the garage door begins to open, and one long beep after it is closed. There is no "alarm when door is closing".

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.

No. It doesn't beep when it turns on or off. Just saw someone else's answer. If it does beep it isn't very loud...I have never heard it.

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

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.

No, it does a long beep once when muted and a short beep once when unmuted.

Honestly the light always wakes me up before the actual alarm goes off, it's a gradual light. I use the bird noise which is less alarming than beeping but as others have said all you have to do is turn down the volume.

The one I purchased recently does not beep, they probably changed it due to the complaints.

I never found a way to turn it off and I put it in my babies room and was always scared it would wake him up. It never did thank goodness. I did like it when I was using it during the day b/c it would notify me that it needed to be refilled. But no, I never found away to make it not beep.

Yes, the unit beeps when is has taken over for a power problem or outage. There is a silence button that stops the beep until the power comes back/ If it goes out again the beep continues until you silence it for a second time. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

The audible tone/beep is fairly loud, though not obnoxious. I think it's loudness will depend entirely on its location. Under a cushion, for example will have the expected muting effect. In most situations you will find the alarm sufficient, from my experience.

Mine beeps until I close it then stops and starts count down and then beeps again

It shuts off after a minute of beeping and then counts forward. Sometimes this is nice because I'll be called away to do something after I've set it and can come back and see that it's gone off and then counted up to 2 minutes or whatnot, and know that it went off 3 minutes previously.

No, it beep only when it reach preset temp. Preset that the fabricant decide! I bought this for maple syrop, and the alarm is useless... I use it like a simple digital thermo... without alarm!
