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.

Would RecommendPurchased one of these a year ago and another this year as I was pleased with the watering timer. I have not had any issues with the one I purchased a year ago.

Not the best
Would Not RecommendIt was easy to set up and easy to install. However, it does leak some and there is always some water coming from the sprinkler when the unit should be off

Hosed by this product!
Would Not RecommendOne very frustrating afternoon. I've spent hours trying to get this piece of Ca-ca to work. Screen lights up nicely, and the programing is easy. Problem is: it doesn't work! I don't doubt the intelligence or competence of the person writing this review because it's me. It would not even water in the manual mode: interesting because the indications that were supposed to show in the manual mode didn't show.
Didn't last a year
Would Not RecommendAfter about 11 months of use I noticed water flowing to my trees in the middle of the day. I found the valve inside this unit will no longer shut off. I tried resetting, everything I tried had no effect, apparently it's a mechanical failure inside the unit. If this happens when you're out of town - uh-oh. I'll replace it with a non-Orbit product.
