A beep is easy to miss over a range hood, a running dishwasher or a busy dinner table. The Taylor 5879 Flashing Light Timer gives you three ways to know time is up: an audible alarm, a bright flashing light and a vibration you can feel in your pocket. Use one, two or all three. Stick it to the fridge with the magnet, stand it on the counter, or clip it to an apron and take it with you while the roast finishes.
Key Features
- Sound, light and vibration: choose any alert on its own or combine them for a time's-up signal that is hard to miss.
- Quiet when you want: switch the beep off and rely on the flash or buzz in a sleeping house or a shared office.
- 99 minutes 59 seconds: count down to an alarm or count up to track how long something has been going.
- Clear 0.5 in digits: crisp LCD numbers read easily at a glance.
- Magnet, stand or clip: mount it on a steel surface, prop it upright, or clip it to a pocket or apron.
- Ready to go: two AAA batteries come installed; pull the insulation tab to start.
What's Included
In the box: one Taylor 5879 Flashing Light Timer in white with 2 AAA batteries included.
Before You Buy
- It times one countdown at a time. The longest setting is 99 minutes 59 seconds, so plan long braises and smoked meats in stages.
- Keep it away from the sink. Taylor says hand-clean only; do not immerse it or put it in the dishwasher.
- The magnet needs a steel surface. Some stainless fridge doors are not magnetic. Use the stand or the clip there instead.
Perfect For
- Noisy kitchens with the hood fan running
- Quiet households where a loud beep would wake someone
- Homework, study and screen-time blocks
- Crafts, laundry and chore reminders
- Anyone who prefers to see or feel an alert
Care & Use
- Pull the insulation tab before first use to connect the batteries.
- Turn each alert on or off to suit the room.
- Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth; do not immerse it.
- Replace both AAA batteries when the display fades.

Why three kinds of alert beat one
Feel it in your pocket
Clip the timer to an apron or slip it in a pocket and the vibration lets you know time is up while you step into the yard, the garage or the next room.
Silence the beep when needed
Every alert type switches on or off on its own. Keep a sleeping baby, a napping partner or a quiet office undisturbed by running the flash and buzz alone, then turn the sound back on later.

How does a flashing light timer compare?
vs. a basic beeping timer
A beep is the only signal on most timers. The 5879 adds a light you can see and a buzz you can feel.
vs. a phone timer
Your phone gets buried, locked or borrowed. This timer sticks to the fridge and stays on one job.
vs. a wind-up dial timer
Dials guess to the nearest minute. Digital numbers set to the second and count up too.
