🕒 Fosmon C-10707US Outdoor 15A Mechanical Light Timer with Water Resistance and Heavy Duty Grounded Outlet - Black, 1 Plug Review

I don't know what some people are complaining about. This is my third year using this for a fall pumpkin Christmas laser lights that turn on and off November through January each year. So in use in cold rain and snow. Also the heat and the sun from late September to October. It is very well constructed and easy to use. Set it to the timer with the slide switch, press the black tabs that form the outer ring to the time you want the device to turn on, then turn the time wheel to the desired time…

Works great but only a few weeks behind time and needs reprogramming. Basically you have 24 time slots but it doesn't work on exact 24 hour intervals so it had to be reset after a couple of weeks as it was a couple of hours behind. We use it for a pool filter that we don't like to run overnight (in case it gets clogged or the pool leaks and dries up). Just note that in this case the timer turns the pump off, but since our pool filter has an automatic switch it triggers and we have to turn it on

This timer is very cheap. When I first opened the protective plastic cover, it broke off. In the process, a piece of plastic broke on one of the hinges to control the on/off time, but I was willing to put up with it since I use it indoors in the basement where no one will see. After several weeks of operation, I've noticed that the timer isn't turning the light on as intended, but this error has been patchy. Sometimes this happens at the beginning of the duty cycle; sometimes in the middle. If…

We cannot use it, hence the mediocre rating. It could work well, but we'll never know. The buttons are pretty hard to press, which is annoying, but what struck me was that due to the orientation and angle of the cord, we couldn't plug it into the outside outlet we bought it for. We obviously didn't see that when we bought it, so just pay attention to the angle, so if you have any kind of weather protection around the socket, this might not work for you. UPDATE: We really, really need our bug…

Plug the timer into an outlet. Connect anything you want to time to the timer. If the item you are measuring has an on/off switch, make sure it is on. Let's imagine that the "thing" is light. Locate the small forward and reverse button under the wheel. The icon that looks like a clock turns on the timer feature, the other icon opposite the clock (whatever it is) is an override that disables the timer ( it turns on or off the light you are trying to program manually). ). I find it easier to set…
