Very happy with this product!

Half the outlets are on schedule, the other half aren't-- Works great-- I can put a humidifier on the outlets for a while, grow lights on the outlets for a while and my orchids are happy and blooms!

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • lots of stuff

I love them best in Timers

Now I have 3 of these. I use them in my orchid terrariums to keep the fans running 24/7 and the light only comes on at the right time. I have blue/red grow lights and daytime "demonstration lights" so I need a timer with at least two outlets.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • No Instructions

Easy to use good for electrics

Very easy to set up and use. Four with a timer and the remaining four ordinary sockets without a timer. You can also override the timer and use everything as regular sockets if you like. I've been using this for about two months now with no problems.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • old

Good product - electric

A little hard to understand but once you get the hang of it this is a great timer. We use it for our lizard, we have two of these, both turn on and off at different times, so it has like a sunset and a sunrise. It's nice not having to worry about turning their light on and off.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Last broken timer in 13 months

I bought this on 24th August 2020, it broke on 27th September 2021, sockets work, timer shows time but won't turn on sockets with timer. Even turning the time dial there aren't any clicks or anything, so whatever turns it on is broken. I would definitely not recommend this. a piece of garbage

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Tradeable

Failed and burned a spot on my aquarium stand

This timer worked well until it failed and nearly started a fire. I used it in my aquarium. One day I came home with the smell of burning cables. The power supply failed and burned a hole in my aquarium stand. I contacted the company and they reimbursed me for the strip and the devices attached to it. I don't know what caused the outage, but I consider myself lucky that no more damage was done. I would definitely not recommend.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Great socket with timer

I bought this for my son's room because he has a bad habit of falling asleep with the bedside light on and also turning it on when it's light outside. can last from 15:00 to midnight. In terms of accuracy, this is a watch face, so it's about as accurate as a watch face can be compared to a digital timer. It's great that he always has one side on, and the other - a timer - very convenient. the light is on outside of the timer, then it always happens because the "Cancel" slider for the timer…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different

Click on the black plastic around the perimeter to turn on the timer.

It took me a while to figure it out and here's what I found out. Adjust (turn) the dial so that the hand points to the current time. Tell the timer sockets to "apply power at this time". Pull them back to disable the timer outputs. Each tab represents 15 minutes. By default mine was off for the full 24 hours meaning all the black tabs were in the up position. If you want to skip the timer function, flip the toggle switch on the side of the timer. When you turn off the timer function, all 8…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged

I bought the first one because of the good reviews and was thrilled. I used it for two lights and a fan, so I didn't even get close to the rated max amperage. A week later the timer stopped turning the light on and off. Revine offered to trade it in for a new one. So, based on the good reviews, I thought it was great, this faulty streak was an accident. A week later I received a replacement power strip with a timer. The timer function was dead on arrival. It only works as a standard power strip

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
