Great Timer! May Be My Favorite!

I really like this timer a lot. I've tried many different types & this may be the best. The reason is that the internal battery is rechargeable and soldered to the printed circuit board (I looked), so no battery replacement is needed which has been a nuisance with other timers that I have. Also the internal battery seems to hold a charge for a long time so most if not all power outages will not depleat the battery and cause the timer to lose its settings. Yes the directions look a little complicated for the first 5-10 minutes or so, but when you try programming the unit step by step with the directions next to you, it's logical and not that difficult. The astrologic function that provides sunrise and sunset times is great for those that want the lights to come on & turn off automatically at those times while automatically udating periodically. All in all a great unit & I have ordered some more already. I have a number of uses for these including providing a way to reset certain devices like routers by having them turn off for one minute a week so that they work better. Of course the normal light programming functions work perfectly.

Very nice timers so far.  I love the easy to read numbers. Alarm is nice and loud.  Definitely recommend to others.

I have three of these that have been in use for several years, and I like them much better than the analog timers that they replace.  They seem to keep their time more accurately and the fact that you can set them to the exact time instead of approximating (as with analog timers) is a plus.  Resetting the time is not as easy as it could be but if you follow the instructions it's not too bad.  My only comment is that mine look NOTHING like the photo that Amazon has posted!  And I know that the part number is correct; I got it off the back of the unit.

This timer is great once you figure it out. The directions aren't clear, but push up the pins for the hours you would like for it to be on and leave the pins down for which hours you would like to be off. On represents a continuous on and timer puts the pin effect in motion. Great timer, over all. Had complications figuring it out since I have never used one, but its amazing and has kept up well!

I came upon this little timer while looking for an even smaller timer, a 'Pomodoro' Timer. And while one is offered for half the price of this one, one of the most important aspects of good time management is to use tools which actually work! The Pomodoro Timer sold on Amazon seems not to have passed that test judging from the reviews it has garnered thus far. This unit is foolproof, and while someone complained about the sound of the alarm, I view it is as a plus, as I use the prospect of that alarm to self-judge how much time has passed to avoid hearing it ring. The best form of time management is one you have internalized.

The beauty of this timer is that you turn it on, set it down and you're in instant business. No thinking - shall I make it just 22 minutes, or 8 or 41. You work with 5 variables. I chose the 5-10-15-30-60 because it seemed most naturally suited for my needs.

Love it! The best I've had, and I've had a lot of different timers trying to find the best one. I finally found it!

My wife and I love this timer. Went through 2 of the spring wound switches the past 14 years (the second one only lasted 3 years) before finding this gem.  Been using it for a couple weeks now with no problems. Really like the ease of pushing the button to set the time; usually 8 hours for hot weather and 4 or 6 for cooler summer weather. The wiring was simple. Hope it lasts better than the last  spring type timer.

Update: Still working great after 4 months of use.

This is such an improvement over the other hard wired timers I have used, such as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Intermatic-EJ500-Indoor-Digital-Wall-Switch-Timer/dp/B0088LMEVQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Intermatic EJ500 Indoor Digital Wall Switch Timer</a>.  Beyond the obvious plus of wireless control from my iPhone or iPad, the wide range of settings (on/off/dim, sunrise/sunset, custom countdown, 7-day programming, random vacation),  the ease of programming is the biggest advantage in my opinion. The tiny screens on the other timers make it nearly impossible for me to read them (and I don't need glasses!) and the instructions are poor at best.  They are also clunky looking from a purely aesthetic point of view, which makes these switches even better.  They seamlessly blend in with the rest of my switches.  Installation was relatively simple, or, at least, it was for my Dad who was visiting.  I'm intimidated by any electrically based home repairs.  However, after watching him, I'm confident that I can replace the other timers on my own when they die, which they inevitably do in approximately three years. If it was priced more competitively, I would give this item five stars.  At over $40 each currently, I have to deduct a star as they are out of my price range.

Really like this timer and have gone back to order more of them.  It has multiple features and easy to use.

I absolutely LOVE the simplicity and ease of use for this timer; it does exactly what it says it's supposed to do and is extremely easy to program. I set up a drip irrigation system for my front flower garden and patio plants so I never have to worry about remembering to water them again and it is working like a charm! I am also able to by-pass the timer itself for 20 minutes every four days manual watering of the new sod that was laid down.

That said, be wary of how it is programmed. If it is set to go off too often, it will eat your batteries for breakfast!  I have had this for about a month and a half now and have just replaced the batteries for the third time.  I have the timer set to water for 3 minutes every 4 hours (my patio plants are water-loving tropicals). While the plants are THRIVING and happy, the frequency of the watering has caused the timer to pretty much eat the batteries every two weeks.  My plants are well worth it to me, so I will continue to play with the freqency and timing until I can at least get three or four weeks out of the batteries.

This timer is a family must! It has 3 settings--clock, count-up, and timer. I love two things about this timer: first, when the timer goes off it beeps for one minute and then turns off, so if I'm in the middle of something I don't feel like I have to rush to turn it off. Second, once the timer goes off it starts to count up, so then I know how long it's been since it went off. A handy feature in my opinion. And I'm also quite fond of the attached string. I'll set the timer for my kids and they just hang it on their necks until it goes off. It's perfect for a kitchen timer or kid time-out timer. I have two and bought one for my sister!

I absolutely love this timer.  It is working great, but best of all, it is easy to set and reset if necessary.

This is the second Maverick timer that I purchased. This was a replacement for one that I've had for about 10 years.
Love the three times, but it sometimes is hard to adjust when using two at the same time.
Maybe the new one will be improved on this function.
I liked this timer enough to purchase it again.

Really excited to use this. Love the soft light and timer option!

Liked the set timed intervals on this timer. Also liked the choice to override the timer. The buttons need to have more tactile feedback. The main button on the bottom does take some force to activate, a little too resistant for me. The blue LEDs are very bright, but not an issue if it's in the garage.

This digital timer has two grounded outlets and works very well. We tested it out before we go on vacation, and it was spot on. It does not feel flimsy, but it really shouldnt be an issue as I don't plan on knocking it around. Everything feels solid, including the control switches. It has a random setting as well as a 7-day settings and battery back-up. I can also use it to run my window AC on the timer, which saves a lot of energy (my old window AC is nothing fancy and cannot be preset to turn on at a specific time). Just for these two things, it works great, and I love that it is not mechanical, because those are more confusing to set up. The intermatic  is easy! If you need a timer, this is a great one to get.

I love this timer. It's big and bold and easy to use. My only recommendation is to make the alarm louder and for it to last longer because if you are busy doing other things, you can miss it. I really like the count up timer functions as well. I
