Customer Reviews

Assume maximum 2 year lifespan
I like these timers because they're inexpensive and easy to use. Unfortunately when it comes to watering devices, there's no market for truly durable and long-lasting stuff - it would be too expensive - despite the complexity of controlling water at high pressure in a challenging outdoor environment. Hence the mixed reviews and disappointment for most of the watering devices sold here. (But would the same folks pay two or three times as much for better gear?) These timers are no exception. One in four or five is defective, and after two seasons' use, they leak like crazy. But given the price, they're an OK deal. You just have to assume they'll need replacing every other year.

You get what you pay for.
I bought this timer for about $13. It worked flawlessly for about 2 months. But now, the flow will not shut off anymore. It stays wide open after the timer gets to zero time. I am now a bit more shy about buying a 'cheap' timer again. Saving a few bucks now might cost me many more bucks if the water won't cut off when I want it to. Just my 2 cents worth....

Does a great job
We live on an acre with quite a few trees, flowers and shrubs. There are eight hoses hooked up to eight watering systems that water everything. I have a timer on every one. The worry of forgetting to turn off any hose after it's designated time is taken care of. Before getting these timers, I can't tell you how many times one particular area would get flooded before I remembered to turn it off. We live in the desert and water is precious. I bring them in during the Winter and they are out and being used Spring through Fall. I am on the third year of use for them. Still going strong.
