a great help if charging a battery which should be switched off when fully charged . The unit switches off and stays off and that is so important as other timers do switch off but then switch on again in 24 hrs, That could be detrimental to a battery which needs to stay off when fully charged, which is the case with all lithium batteries.
The choice of staying switched on has four hours as the maximum available charge time before it switches itself off. Eight hours would be very useful if that could be introduced.
Superb product, and idiot proof in operation.Read full review...

Easy to use and clear indicators
I found this product so easy to use. The light indicators are clear to see and show the countdown so you aware of the time left. I used mine on a slow cooker and found it easy to see the time left to go to get other things ready. My only comment against it is what others have said. It was very tight to get the plug into this unit. I am leaving it on my slow cooker plug (as I don't need it for anything else) but I would dread trying to get the plug out again if I needed to without breaking it.Read full review...

Useful Easy Simple
This is a very useful item, easy to use, simple concept. The plug has to be pushed in with some force and the display is tiny so if this is say above a kitchen unit you may need to get higher to read it; this will be ok when you know what each light represents. Of course it is packed in yet another plastic bubble. Read full review...

A great little box for saving money
I have a lot of timers running to control lights, but they're not appropriate for everything. This is really useful for preventing overcharging (laptops, phones, shavers etc etc). It takes no power until you press and hold the green button - then it turns on. Each press gives more time - from 15 minutes to 8 hours, so really useful for powering everything at a work desk, via a multi-block. I bought one then bought a second one - to use with a dehumidifier to cut down condensation. Now I can't leave it turned on. Brilliant - highly recommended.Read full review...

Unique solution to a time-switch problem
I wanted a single push of a button to switch on a coffee percolator for a fixed time, in this case 15 minutes. The Ansmann countdown timer does this in a simple and effective way.
The unit is only slightly wider than the plug into which it is inserted. In effect the timed socket is just a couple of inches further out from the wall socket. The percolator stays plugged into the timed socket and a single push of the timer's button gives me hot coffee without needing to remember to switch off after percolation has finished. Problem solved.
The device is robust and well-made and I anticipate several years of trouble-free service.Read full review...

Good for Dysons
Got this to prolong the battery life of our Dyson, as I'm not keen on leaving it charging for days on end. This works fine and is easy to use. The only dwawback is the writing is extremely small, so it is hard to see what time you are setting. Also the socket is a bit loose, so the Dyson charger droops a little when it is plugged in.Read full review...

Simple to operate, versatile and value for money
Its robust, very easy to use and has a great selection of settings. For my application to charge up a ball launching machine at our tennis club it is perfect.

Does 15mins, 30mins, 1hr...
Very handy for charging lithium batteries, which shouldn't be stored fully charged. Seems to be the only timer around that does shorter times, 15 and 30 mins. Easy to use, quality product.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do... so I ordered two more.
Bought one and have now had it for a week. Have tried it on a few appliances: Computer charger, Phone charger, Dehumidifier. Good tests as the load requirement of these devices is a broad spread. The plug simply does what it is supposed to. The item quality is good, it's operation and timing spot on. Enough said... except I've just ordered two more.Read full review...
