It may just be that I am used to this type of timer, but it seems very easy to set up. I actually like that the valves are incorporated into the body, cleaner look, easier to connect, and less to mess with. I have two older models, by the time the one failed, it was time to replace anyway.

This is an older model. I only bought it as a drop in exact replacement of what I had been using. Hopefully newer models are better but probably are not - This model eventually (year or two) starts leaking slowly at valve seals and then major leaks at internal seals - being made in China, the quality of assembly seems variable as you might expect. I had to buy this one as the other "new" one from another supplier failed catastrophically out of the box. Uses AA Batteries, would be nice if used larger batteries for longer replacement interval.

Works great when you want to have something watered and not have to stand over it every day! works flawlessly and holds up in the weather, only thing that could use a little improvement is the programming is a little counter intuitive but easy enough to figure out if you study it a bit, got it right once I actually read the directions so you may want to keep them for later use!

No complaints. Minor quirks: All zones in a schedule share the same start time. Station B will start after station A ends even though it shows station B starts at the same time as station A. Start time is a concept of the whole schedule, not station. Initial valve status could be On, which is undesirable but can be easily corrected. Time setting takes time since you have to go through all 24 hours and their minutes.

I would definitely recommend this timer to people who like me, have a hard time rememebering to turn on their sprinkler system every day! This timer has a bunch of options for programming and has been essential in helping me breathe new life into my lawn!

Functional item, this item came without manual but evenso it took me about five minutes to find out how to program it. I imagine that with manual even easier. Use it to water some plants around a palmtree during hot summer season in Costa Rica. Connected to dripline and works ok for my use.

Really very versatile. Multiple scheduling of run times. Easily controlled by manual Knob. Not high tech by using an App, but works great where irrigation to pots is needed for elderly, (fall risk parents). Even they can turn the know on/off instead of holding a hose.

I had two of them quit and I had to go back to watering manually as the timer wasn't working. I'm afraid to put out any more of them as we are having 100 degree plus weather and I can't afford to have any more plants burn up because of a faulty timer.

I like these orbit timers. Very easy to use, batteries last a long time if used with lithium batteries. Also the lithium batteries don’t leak battery acid so they won’t harm the timer if left in after dead battery. I own six of them and I now have plants and trees that live because they have watering. It’s nice because they’re battery no wires no electric just simple battery power. Highly recommended

This is the one you need to water at multiple times in one day. Just be sure every "box" is turned on (or off) when programming-this is essential. 2 stations and 3 programs makes this a very versatile timer, and is a great bargain, considering it's many features.
