Review on Purple Waterproof Digital Clock Timer For Bathroom, Shower, And Kitchen With Alarm, Visual Countdown, Indoor Temperature And Humidity Monitoring, Time Management Tool, Suction Cup And Stand by Carron Goebel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice timer.poor water seal.FIXED

Purchased this timer for my kids to use in the shower and help cut down the water bill. Worked great for about 7 months. The screen started flaking out, the alarm was going off on random, and the buttons stopped working. it appeared to have some water in it so I set it in a rice bag for a week. No improvement and it actually died completely, no screen, no sounds. Still, I like the unit, so before ordering a new, I figured I would dismantle and take a look.The photos show the progression of the repair. You can see some water drops in the screen pic, however, once I had it open all the way, there was quite a bit more. The circuit board had water drops all over it and you can see what might be a touch of corrosion. I took a cotton swab and some alcohol and wiped the entire board down including the long black strip that the LCD screen has to connect to the board and that fixed it. Pic 5 shows the screen back to normal and a shot of the "weather stripping" on the plastic cover that is worthless. I peeled all that stripping off. The final pic shows the silicone I smeared in all the screw holes and around the edge of the plastic housing. Put a clamp on it for a day to let the faceplate stick back on. Back in business.For $25, I wouldn't be happy but I'd consider buying it again and maybe putting additional water seal on it before I used a new one.

Pros
  • Helps keep you motivated and accountable during tasks and chores
Cons
  • The clock may not be able to display time in other languages
