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.

Perfect for garden drip system
Would RecommendI am using this to drip water 6 raised garden beds. So easy to just put on the water spigot, attach the drip line and set the timer. Keeps plants happy while you are away.

Easy to use.
Would RecommendWorks as advertised. Easy to install and program. Save your receipt. I've used several of these over the years, and many of them have failed before the six year guarantee ran out.

I have used these for several years. I have three and am going to buy a fourth one. Very reliable and easy to program. After years of dragging hoses and sprinklers around I was so glad I bought these!
It cannot be set to operate at specific times.
Would Not RecommendThe timer worked very well as designed. However it did not permit the water to turn on at specific times, but only at specific intervals. For instance I wanted it to turned on at 8 AM and then again at 4 PM so I had to set it for an eight hour interval. Unfortunately it would also turn on eight hours after 4 PM, at midnight, which I did not want.

DON’T BOTHER- ABSOLUTELY NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Would Not RecommendI have bought at least 8 of these. They don’t last longer than a summer season or two. They “claims” a 6 year warranty on the package, but you will get NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, PERIOD, NOT TEXT, NOT EMAIL, NOT TRYING TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM! THEY ARE NON-EXISTANT!! YOU WILL NEVER GET A LIVE REP EITHER!! LOWES SHOULD NOT SELL FOR THIS REASON ALONE!!! The screen went blank, the water NEVER TURNED OFF, it wasn’t a battery problem, they were new! Imagine being gone a week with your timers on, and it f...

Quality timer that is easy to set up and use
Would RecommendThis is a great timer…durable and a breeze to set up. It was an easy hook up to my outside faucet, then to my hose and set up your sprinkler. The timer has a simple interface that is easy to set up and program and has multiple options for watering. Great product!

Easy to use
Would RecommendEasy to use. Set the timer to how long you want it to run and how often you want it to run - this means that, for instance, you can run it for 20 minutes every 12 hours, but you could not program it to run for 20 minutes at 6:00am and 8:00pm.
