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 Not RecommendI cannot get it to stop leaking. I need to be able to remove it quickly and often but I can't keep worrying about the leak!! The leak is so much that I get soaked. I bought this because I cannot find the second of the pair that I already have. The old pair of timers spoiled me because they worked perfectly and never leaked. I'm going to stop messing with this one and chuck it in the trash and just try to buy another brand!!!
Not worth the money
Would Not RecommendOnly lasted 3 months, can’t return to Lowe’s. Waste of money and waste of time.

Works well--set it and forget it.
Would RecommendThis timer works very well. It is easy to program and reliably executes the scheduled watering for my sprinkler. I initially experienced a small leak but realized I had not tightened the connection as well as I should have. Next time I will also use some plumber's tape to help. It seems to have long battery life. I bought a second one for the front faucet.

Great tool for the Lawncare nut
Would RecommendLove being able to control my sprinklers with a reasonably inexpensive tool. Works great and allows me to water early in the morning on a schedule to ensure my lawn is watered before sunrise.

Good timer but delivered a week after the due date
Would RecommendThis was a replacement for a very old, well used, worn out unit used to water potted plants on my lanai while I am away. The item on order was delivered a week late so that the plants lacked watering for the time I was away. Other than that, the timer works very well

Stopped working after couple of weeks
Would Not RecommendIt lasted less than a month. The controls no longer work for you to set the water time. Unfortunately didn't save the receipt to return it.

Don’t waste your money! I used this item for about 2 weeks and set it in turn off mode because we were getting rain. When I turned it back on all the screen would do is flash numbers in every mode! I tried pulling the batteries out and try again, still doing the same thing so needless to say it’s in the trash where it belongs because, when I called the company they kept giving me the run around!
