Stand up supplier and good experience

Purchased this unit based on the rating and the number of buys admittedly. The first one came quickly. Tried to use it and it wasn’t working properly and the timing was failing. Quick contact, return and replace with no issue and the second unit worked flawlessly. Installed and used on the outdoor Christmas light display and worked perfectly. Wish the first one worked but very happy with the customer service and how it played out on a relatively inexpensive purchase. Would buy again even so.

Pros
  • This is exactly what I needed for an outdoor plug for lights on our deck.
Cons
  • The timer function may be too complicated for some users to set up

I would buy this again

I can't speak to this being weatherproof because it's in my greenhouse but I do close the cover to protect it from drips.However, it is easy to use and has been reliable.My only complaint is that the weather proof cover on the unit is hard to open.

Pros
  • Great timer ,easy to use.
Cons
  • The timer function may be prone to errors, causing inconvenience and frustration to users

Perfect for porch icicle lights

Easy to set the pins for timing--I have them set for 5pm to 6am since I live in Maine where daylight hours get skimpy in December. The plug and timer is mounted on the right hand pillar as you look at the photo. So far it has withstood icy temperatures, rain, and high winds. Snow arrives tomorrow but I don't anticipate any problem since it worked great in the rain. Very pleased!

Pros
  • Works
Cons
  • The maximum capacity of 1/2 HP may not be sufficient for some high-powered outdoor appliances

Can't get the on/off timer to work

I was hoping this would do the trick for some Christmas lights. I have reset the timer 2 dozen times and it hasn't turned on/off at proper time once.

Pros
  • Was very easy to set up once I figured how to set it up
Cons
  • The product may require frequent calibration, which could be time-consuming and frustrating for users

Perfect for pool filter and saltwater system

Works like it should, very easy to use and set up, and the flip cover keeps it all weatherproof. There are 2 plug in spots in the bottom that are great for the pool filter and saltwater system

Pros
  • User-friendly design makes programming extremely easy
Cons
  • The timer function may be unreliable, leading to inconsistent lighting patterns and frustration for users

Solid product - my new review

I'm a big fan of mechanical over digital on/off timers. This is honestly the first of these pushtab on/off timers I've had that didn't die on me within two months time. I've been using this for over 6 months and its still having zero problems. It seems almost as reliable as the more old fashioned ones that have the separate breaker piece to insert at your chosen times. My only real complaint is the same as always for these that have the tabs.its great that I can select 5 or 10 minute increments

Pros
  • Seems to the job for our water fountain. Keeps good time.
Cons
  • The product may not be as durable as advertised, and could malfunction after a short time of use

Heavy duty? good for me

I'm disappointed, but admittedly, I can't say for sure that this timer is to blame, but it looks like it.I intentionally ordered this one because it was heavy duty. I wanted to put my water heater (technically a diesel boiler) on a timer so it wouldn't waste fuel at night. It doesn't have an electric heating element, but it does have an electrode that ignites the fuel when it turns on. I was finding that my boiler was popping its internal fuse almost every day, but since taking it off the timer

Pros
  • The timer can handle up to 1/2 HP, making it suitable for many outdoor applications
Cons
  • The extension cord may be prone to tangling and knotting, requiring frequent untangling by the user

You might want a slightly longer cord

I really needed a slightly long cord for my application, so couldn't use the screws to attach the timer. I had to use a zip tie.

Pros
  • nice design, easy to program, spot on time and very reliable. good value.
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to set up without the assistance of a professional electrician

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not reliable on my review.

only lasted for 1.5 year. it's used for outside. Not quite reliable. this is my 2nd time buying, to give another try That's my feedback!

Pros
  • Great for outside use. Weathered storm of below zero. Very reliable
Cons
  • If not carefully programmed, the product may cause energy wastage, which could cost the user more on energy bills

Purchase was as expected. No surprises here.

I bought 2 and they’ve held up to the elements. Not the easiest to set up, but once you figure it out it’s no problem for future resetting.

Pros
  • I wish I had purchased a longer one. It is difficult to hide in pot.
Cons
  • The product may not provide adequate protection from electrical fires or other hazards

Conflicting information, but it is for outdoor use.

EDIT: I've had this plug for a little while now. Still going strong. Its been the perfect solution for making my holiday lights automatic.I purchased this product to use with my holiday lights.I noticed there was a lot of confusion surrounding this product. On the paper instructions (I personally see no point in these) it says "for indoor use" but on the product itself it says "for outdoor use." Just by looking at the cord and feeling the weight and construction makes me believe this product is

Pros
  • Instructions are a bit vague
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with all power sources, leading to compatibility issues

Works perfectly good for me

I am a few months in and so far so good. I use it with a set of lights on my patio and the product does exactly what it was intended. No issues with heat (so far). I will amend this comment if I see any changes. It was easy to set up. Recommend.

Pros
  • The timer is durable and can withstand harsh weather and outdoor conditions
Cons
  • The product may vibrate excessively, leading to noise and potential damage or malfunction

DoeNt turn on for my opinion

I have bought two of these when you Plug the device in and turn it to setting mode the timer does not turn to count down the minutes to turn it off or on I’m very confused as to why this is happening with both devices

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • The product may not be as durable as advertised, leading to frequent replacements and additional expense for the user

No school like the old school

Basic no frills outdoor light timer that works. I don't need bluetooth or WiFi enabled light timers. In my mind the more complex, the more that can go wrong. This took less than a minute to set up and plug in. Haven't touched them since and they've worked perfectly.

Pros
  • The switch is reliable and provides seamless control of outdoor lights
Cons
  • The product may be too short to reach certain outdoor areas, leading to limited functionality for users

Sturdy and simple to use

Seems well-built. Very easy to operate. Because it is mechanical instead of electronic, it came back on after we briefly lost electricity. You would need to reset its clock after a lengthy power failure, but that is a simple matter of twisting a dial.

Pros
  • It works
Cons
  • The product may not be able to handle long-term use, leading to reduced lifespan and frequent replacements

Does what it is supposed to do.

Easy hook up and it ran find right out of the box. No issues. Used to run Christmas light this past season. That's my review!

Pros
  • {}
Cons
  • The product may be overpriced compared to similar products on the market

Works great, short cord

The timer works great and I love that it’s waterproof. Honestly the only complaint I have is how short the cord is, but we were able to make it work. It just barely comes out of our outside electrical outlet.

Pros
  • Timers
Cons
  • The power cord may be too stiff or inflexible for some users' needs

Not for the Alaskan winter!

We used this for our car plugs in Alaska as it costs too much to have the cars plugged in all night so we just wanted them on for 2 hours before we go to work. Initially this worked perfectly but once it started getting colder, it stopped functioning all together, only working again when the temp got above around -20F. It also only works when the cord is pointing straight down and the device is mounted perfectly vertical (not sure why but we figured that out via trial and error). Will be…

Pros
  • The 6-inch extension cord adds flexibility in placement
Cons
  • The product may not be well-suited for home security purposes, due to limitations in its features

Sometimes Old School is the best option!

Sometimes Old School is the best option. When you need an outdoor timer to go on and off once a day, why bother with hi-tech options? Push pins on the dial make it so easy to set, no tiny letters and numbers to read. The two output plugs make it easy to connect two devices. Durable, simple, small, and seemingly reliable. I have now purchased two and am happy with them.

Pros
  • Easy to set up, great value, quick ship.
Cons
  • The product may produce electromagnetic fields that could be a concern for certain users

Works great, great price

Have had this for a few months and still works great. We don’t get much rain in our area so may not have much moisture exposure but it’s been great so far. Easy to set up, works as advertised, and great price compared to other outdoor timers I’ve seen. We use it for our outdoor patio lighting but I plan on purchasing more for our outdoor Christmas lights this year.

Pros
  • The ETL listing provides assurance of product quality and safety
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to repair or replace if damaged or malfunctioning
