What Customers Are Saying
The product has a mixed reception, with some users finding it easy to program and use, allowing for up to 4 watering schedules. However, others experienced issues with the valves getting stuck or not working properly, as well as the timer resetting or malfunctioning after initial use. The quality and durability of the product also seems inconsistent, with some reporting the plastic housing breaking easily.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Easy to use, easy to program. I like that I can easily detach the programmable unit from the spigot. It is so much easier to bypass the program with the manual switch.

Breaks easily
Would Not RecommendThis is the fourth unit that I have had to return to Lowes. They break at the inlet which is plastic. The unit cannot support the weight of four hoses. Lasted a few weeks and then started to leak. My water bill went through the roof because I was on vacation when it broke again.

Makes life easier
Would RecommendWe have completely redone our front yard with 60+ cubic yards of topsoil and fresh grass seed. With being on a well system for our water supply. I wanted to make the best out of prime watering hours. Those being early morning during the time we get ready and leave for work. The timer has taken care of the watering chore. It was easy to setup (read directions and supplemental) and adjust for the week depending on what the weather predictions have been. Will defiantly be buying a second unit ...

Doesn't work
Would Not RecommendOdd that Lowe's asked me to rate this on the day I'm returning it. The number three valve wouldn't close making the whole thing useless.

Gets the job done
Would RecommendWater comes on & off perfectly on time. Had to return one as controller was not working. Lowe’s is good for trying stuff. I’m using two with 3 sprinklers on each to water a new lawn seeded few weeks back. Only complaint is that scheduling is difficult to program and doesn’t allow multiple programs per day other than in 6,12,24 hrs repeat cycles.

Perfect for my new seeded yard.
Would RecommendIf you are putting in a seeded lawn or even a Sod yard you need lots of water thru out the day so it doesn't dry out. This has work perfect for me.

Water Timer
Would RecommendPro: You can take the controller inside and program it and then mount it on the holder and reconnect the short cable. Con: Programing it on manual is confusing but doable.

This is a great product, the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is that you cant select the specific time for a second run time. The only options are to run every 6 or 12 hours

Multi water distribution timer.
Would RecommendThis is a great product for installation on older homes that do not have irrigation systems. I was able to create multiple zones and one of those zones throughout the property . A great product

Great option
Would RecommendI needed something to use temporarily for watering need sod. This hose hook up worked great.

Prefer this to the newer version
Would RecommendI like this timer because I can manually turn on a zone just by turning the knob for the zone. On the newer version, even though it had more options for the watering schedules, you have to fiddle with the program timer in order to do manual watering because the zones are strictly controlled by the program, instead of just turning on a 1/4 turn manual valve. It's too bad they didn't keep this feature in the newer model.
