What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Water Timer offers flexible programming options to water two separate areas on different schedules. However, many users report issues with the timer, such as outlets failing to turn off as programmed, the timer resetting itself, and water leaking into the internal components. The quality and durability of the timer is questionable, with some users needing to replace it after a short period of use. While some users appreciate the timer's flexibility, the overall reliability and performance of the product appears to be inconsistent.

Failed after 3 years
Would Not RecommendI have 3 timers (4, 2 and 1). All have failed at about 3 years. They worked fine when new but the soft buttons fail and I am unable to program any longer. The 4 port model just completely failed and just had a blank screen despite new batteries.
Works well, but watch the video to program it.
Would RecommendWorks really well. I like that I can choose days of the week or intervals. Remembering how to program it when I want to change something is a challenge. But, once I read the instructions or watch the online video again, it all comes back, and then I wonder why I thought it was so hard.
Good temporary watrering timer
Would RecommendGreat way to implement temporary watering for things like new plantings. The programming takes a little getting used to but is easy once you get the hang of it. I did not see markings on the outlet ports, so I determined which was which by trail and error.
Problematic, but Orbit Support is excellent
Would Not RecommendI've purchased several of these timers over the years. 3 are currently in use, and each of them is in a varying stage of failure. They're wonderful when first out of the package, but the problems soon develop. Problems with the ones I've owned include (1) developing leaks, internally or at the hose connections, (2) having one or more of the soft buttons on the front of the unit fail, meaning you can no longer use it for programming, (3) unit intermittently shuts down but comes back up, which era...

Worked for my project.
Would RecommendThe instructions don't exactly match the operation of this timer.
I've tried these twice and was disappointed.
Would Not RecommendI've purchased one of these 2 years in a row, and both of them only lasted one season. And, NO, I didn't leave them outside all year. I disconnected them at the end of the year, and even removed the batteries before packing them away for the year. Don't waste your money.
