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.

Lasts about 6 months max
Would Not RecommendPurchased 2 of these to start with, had to buy 2 more to replace these after first two stopped working after 6 months. Now, one more stopped working after about 6 months. Looking for a different brand now.
Good for one season only.
Would Not RecommendI have had two of these timers. The first one wouldn't turn on after being stored for the winter. Yes, they were new batteries. Bought a second one, because first one had worked well during the first year. Just went out to hook it up for it's second year. Comes on just fine. But it leaks like crazy beneath the connector to the faucet. Sprays water out. Now in the market for a new kind.

So far so good
Would RecommendI purchased this last year and used it in my garden all season. It is now set up and running in my garden this season. It works like it's supposed to and I haven't had any issues. During the winter, I brought it into my shop and removed the batteries.
Worked great in year 1
Would Not RecommendWorked great for the first year. But now tried to set it up for the second season, it leaks and doesn’t let water through at times. Not sure if this is something that’s only designed to work for a year but I expected more
