What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Hose Water Timer has mixed reviews. While some users found it easy to set up and use, with convenient features like a rain delay, many reported issues with the timer's reliability and durability. Common problems included the timer failing to shut off the water flow, leading to continuous water usage, and the timer malfunctioning after a few months of use. However, a few customers had positive experiences with the timer working flawlessly for multiple seasons. Overall, the product's quality and longevity appear to be inconsistent.

Leaking units
Would Not RecommendI have purchased 3 of these every year for the past 3 years. They seem to work fine during the growing season but when winter arrives and they are put away from the elements, then brought out for the spring they have all been defective with leaks and programming. Purchased 1,2, and 4 outlet units.
Straight forward instructions for operation.
Would RecommendEasy to use

Something made several of mine died while stored.
Would RecommendLOVE these timers! So easy to program and use. Several of mine died over the winter though while sitting in my garage, and I can't understand why.

a serviceable timer for single outlet hose connect
Would RecommendVery easy to set up, but don't let it run in freezing temps. Turning the selection dial proved a bit difficult.

Horrible Product do NOT BUY / Lowes is no help
Would Not RecommendI bought this at Lowes July 2024 and it completely stopped working after 4 months. On the Lowes website it says it has a 6 year warranty, However, Lowes DOES NOT HONOR the warranty and since it is past 30 days they will not refund or exchange it, they force you to go to Orbit. Orbit's service is horrible and gave no help other than send you another product that won't last any better than this one. DO NOT BUY FROM LOWES OR THIS PRODUCT FROM ORBIT. Very bad quality and worse customer service.

Very poor quality
Would Not RecommendI have purchased two of these 1 Output digital end timers in the last 3 or 4 years and both have failed. The first one lasted the longest (about 3 years) when it began to leak from the body. Replaces it in the spring of 2024 with the same type. Both were taken off before freezing temperatures and stored inside with batteryies removed. The second one, less than a year old is leaking the same after I re-installed it last week. Decided this make and model is nothing but junk. Would not rec...
