Review on 🕑 Fosmon Dual Outdoor Timer Outlet - 15A 24-Hour Mechanical Light Timer with Water Resistance, ETL Listed, Heavy Duty, 2 Grounded Outlets, 7-inch Power Cord - Black by Erik Snyder

I was looking for a two-socket timer switch. I also wanted the timer dial to have a transparent cover. These features are rated 5 stars. However, I gave the product 4 stars overall for a number of reasons, mostly based on my spouse's comments (he doesn't choose the timers, but he has the "option" to set them for me and others). Makes and types in the past): This timer does not have a second button to check if the electricity (or the lamps connected to the timer) is working; It only has one button "Set Timer". In fairness, a test function isn't advertised, but my husband really liked this option on other timers, and she found the lack here to be a real shortcoming. I deducted 2 stars for value for money and adjusted my overall rating accordingly (because if you read the descriptions carefully you might find timers with this feature). Rating): The pens are small, and some comments are that they are difficult to install. My spouse didn't mind the pins being tiny because he knows how to use a small screwdriver (and has done it with other timers). One thing about this timer that he figured out but didn't understand at all is that you can't just set the timer to turn on and off and then plug it in later and hope the decorations close light up at the time you do it Furnished. I found out about this when I asked why the second timer I bought was plugged into the kitchen outlet which was already set for 4pm and midnight, although I didn't think I would need another timer and why I had it could not simply connect . outside (preset to my desired on/off time) whenever I wanted and "raced" so to speak. He explained that there is a dial for setting the current time that also needs to be set (instantly) so the timer has a reference point to "know" when to turn the lights on and off. Okay, now I understand, but I had no idea when I bought the timers. It's not a downside, just the way this type of timer works, but it's also not very easy to use. I hope this review helps those who get stuck setting up timers and those who buy timers without really realizing how much effort it takes to set them. .
