Okay, but programming requires tricks to try.

Pretty good timer extension, but having to use a workaround to immediately see if your AUTO programming mode is working is stupid. - Set the time just ahead of the current time, wait for AUTO mode to turn on, then go back and change the time to what you really need. The two power strips I have use an LR44 coin cell battery, but old manuals I found online say an AA battery is required. To be honest I wish they had stuck with one AA battery. It would also be nice to have an indication that the…

Worst product: Power strips

The dumbest timer ever! This device is a scam. An analogue timer would be an upgrade! There are 8 sockets, 4 always on and 4 supposedly controlled by a digital timer but they are not. Digital timer outputs have 7 on/off events that turn on all outputs at the same time. Despite the digital display and buttons that can control the device, not every timed socket can be controlled independently. Either all on or all off for any timed event on all 4 timed outputs. The device sent in did not even…

Timer problem solved and explained.

Like many others, I set it up and set it to "Auto" and it didn't turn on. After some research I found out that it needs to go through an "off" cycle before it starts cycling for the specified time. It's good when you don't need it. A workaround for immediate automatic use is to set the time slightly ahead of the current time, finish programming any times you want, set to auto, and exit setup. After switching on, change the current day's switch-on time to the desired time. Viola! Problem solved.

  • Pleasing

GE 7 Day Digital Timer Programmable Power Strip

Although I own the exact same device with a different manufacturer name, GE has also tagged this device in their inventory. The timer met my requirement to turn the dehumidifier on and off at a specific time of day each day. The power rating of the strip is also a key factor in safety and reliability. My dehumidifier has a maximum power of 575W, the strip has a maximum power of 1500W, which is more than enough for my needs. For your safety, please DO NOT EXCEED the maximum power of the strip…

It's worth it for the price, but be careful when setting it up.

I've only had this a day, so I can't say much about durability. But the first impression after 24 hours is that it does what it's supposed to do. Setup can be tricky as the instructions don't explain it properly. If you program the wake-up time, you must make it a few minutes later than the current time. For example, it is now 7:47 p.m. I would set the on time to 7:48. So if you change the mode to AUTO (timer running), it will turn on. After that, go back and change it to the time you want…

Pros
  • SAVE $ AND ELECTRICITY - The power strip eliminates "standby" by turning off power to devices in 4 timed outlets, saving you money on your energy bills.
Cons
  • Not bad

I need the manufacturer/distributor to read this

This item offers excellent value for money; I appreciate that it comes in black which is hard to find for a programmable power strip here at Revain, also this product is very easy to program, I hardly had to refer to the setup guide. Product adverts may need wording updates. Figure 5; "Easy Setting" indicates #3 that you can "repeat programmed events for each timer output". It doesn't seem possible. I asked the Revain community and got mixed answers that you can/can program each socket…

Pros
  • . ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Total load must not exceed 15 amps or 1800 watts. (120V/15A/1800W 60Hz). UL listed. For indoor use only. NOT suitable for aquariums. A NOTICE. This power strip is not surge protected and does not provide surge protection.
Cons
  • A few little things

Good but tricky for extension cords

This tricky product. I even returned one. I finally read a review that helped me program the timer bar. Basically 2 rows of sockets - one with time, the other without time. I pulled the plastic tab on the back to start the watch battery. The clock is programmed with hours day-hour-minute (am/pm). So far, so good. 7 different stops and stops can then be programmed. Seems exaggerated. I just wanted the cable box to turn off at 11pm and turn on at 6am. So I pressed Prog for program 1. Then press…

Pros
  • 7 DAY PROGRAMMABLE - An easy to program timer allows you to set weekly cycles that are programmable to the minute.
