I need a heavy duty timer that I can turn on manually daily at random times and easily set to shut off in an hour. Is this the device for me

I only use this for a coffee pot timer but it is easy to set and has worked perfectly. I've had mine for over a year.

I would give some thought to something like the Woods Import digital countdown timer. It is made for exactly the type of application you described. There are other timers there also, hope this helped.

I believe this could do the job, but define heavy duty....I used mine to turn on and off my 1800 watt bathroom heater several times per day, so the bathroom would never be cold.

It is a simple stop timer. It does not have the functionality to stop at the same time every day. You have to reset the timer every time it is turned off.

No. It's that timer to set device on and off at specific time. Like turn on at 08:00 AM and off at 10:00 PM. Ok?

No, this is not a programmable or repeating timer. It only counts down to shutoff based on the duration you choose each time you turn it on. For on and off settings repeated daily, look for the simple round model with a perimeter of pegs representing half-hours.

Thank you very much for the info. Should I go with the automatic setting or something else?

If you want to shut off recommend just buying a simple water timer you can get a any home improvement store. You can have it run for hours and it shuts off automatically. Works like a charm for me.

If you want to turn on every day at a certain time, you can set it for any time anyday and turn off a half an hour later. This is not just an "egg" timer.

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.

It's a very sophisticated electronic timer that will switch on/off a device whenever you need it. For instance. I use it to turn on a humidifier for my frog tank for 5 minutes every hour 24/7. It can only control one device, plus it has a manual switch that that overrides the automatic timer. The manual is a little complicated I'm explaining how to program the device but you'll get it eventually.

In a word, YES. This timer is very easy to program and the numbers are large, however you will need to keep it near you, because it is not that loud, especially if you have other things making noise.

No, I don't think so. I'll look at it next time I'm in the office. I'm pretty sure it has no timer-based auto-on or auto-off feature.

I like this timer because it goes beyond just one hour. But what you are asking would be too complex. You would need to manually intervene at the stop and start times.

Hello, I love the timer. I use it all the time on my bedside light to help me stop reading and get some sleep! :-) Hope this helped.

Not sure if this timer will work for what you need. It is a 24 clock timer that you can set to come on and off in 5 minute intervals

It's like any other mechanical timer. It's easy to advance when the power comes back on. It's been more reliable than any of the digital timers I've had - and I've tried many of them.
