easy to programme
I've been using various kinds of programmable timers and find this one to be simple to set up. Some of the digital ones can be rather obscure, and the instructions ambiguous. I have noticed a slight tendency of the timer to drift. The period of function stays the same but the time it comes on has wandered a bit. This hasn't been a problem for me as I set it for the middle of the night. Don't let it freeze as all of this kind of device are very vulnerable to frost burst and if they have water in at 1 or 2 degrees below zero you'll need a replacement.Read full review...

ok for the money
bought to keep potted plants alive whilst away on holiday, set up prior to going away to ensure it was working as programmed, which it was however upon return found all plants somewhat parche, the battery light was flickering indicating it was still working however it didnt operate as set up and periodically turned itself off which ive identified as being a very poor battery drawer/connectiuons which let it down but its fixable and once altered works finew.Read full review...

Easy to use, does the job
There are a number of almost identical products, they are easy to use and do the job. Bear in mind that the timer operates at the same time each day, based on when you set it up, so if you want to water in the evenings you have to set the timer up in the evening. I have rarely been able to keep a unit working over the winter, so expect to replace it most years.Read full review...

HOW TO IMPROVE ON GOOD PRODUCT!
I have modified the product to accept an external 3v dc power supply as most folk tend to forget the Batteries need replacing from time to time.
Am trying to load a photo of the modification, but this rubbish format won't let me.
The loading circle whirls around and around, but it never loads!Read full review...

Very useful for summer holiday watering
Have now extended my watering system and this simple clever gadget turns it on and off for me twice a day and keeps the whole garden and every pot at its best. Have tried other expensive versions none of which were any better, and bought 3 of these over some 5 years, they are only ever let down by water ingress into the battery tray so now install whole thing covered by a large plastic bag tied underneath. Do remember to disconnect whole system in winter as hose joints and the timer could freeze and will give up.Read full review...

Easy to use as ABC
Bought this to water plants while off on hols. Worked straight out of the box. Make sure you use new batteries. As old ones u may think are ok won't work, this happened to me. If the led blinks nonstop change batteries. Do do a test by just letting it do a quick 10mins in the hour. But to be honest u can't go wrong. Highly recommended! Especially at the price. 👍🏾Read full review...

Cost effectivea
This is a straight forward working irrigation timer...
Pros: Easy to use and adjust.
Cons: the last two I've bought lasted about 2 years!
So I'm on my third one, and expect it to last at least 2 years. So you can either spend your money on a more expensive one that might last longer.... or except that you're looking at £7 a year for automatic garden irrigation.Read full review...

simple & easy to set up!
Have bought two. The only negative is that the time settings jump straight from 1 min. to 3 mins. Could do with a 2 min. setting.

Not fit for purpose
I bought this timer to use for a lawn sprinkler but although it switches on and off, the pressure drop is so great that the sprinkler is reduced to a dribble. So frankly the timer is useless to me. I tried again without the rubber filter but that made no difference at all. I cannot therefore recommend any one buy this timer.Read full review...

Value for money - and it works!
For the price this is an excellent water timer. It does not have the time displayed but does have the facility to set a delay to the time you want. The instructions for setting the delay are slightly ambiguous, hence the drop of a star.Read full review...
