What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Hose End Timer has a mix of positive and negative feedback. Many users find it easy to program and use, with features like automatic watering that save time. However, a significant number of customers have experienced issues such as the screen going black, the dial breaking, the timer resetting or not turning off, and the battery compartment rattling loose. Some also report the timer leaking or not closing the valve properly under pressure. While the timer works well for some, the reliability and durability concerns raised by many customers are a significant drawback.

shuts off unexpectedly
Would Not RecommendIt's easy to program -- maybe too easy. I keep finding it shut off, as if something has brushed against the knob and turned it to the off position.

Product died after 13 months. Replaced battery and still not working. After 20 minutes the batteries started to Overheat and were starting to split the outer wrapper. I’m sure if I had not removed the batteries from the timer they would’ve started a fire.

Shipped wrong item and too few as well
Would Not RecommendShipped a different item, I ordered 6 irrigation timers and received only 4 of a different model. The web site does not present an option for a return, guess I will need to Tuskegee them to the local Lowe’s. Lousy Customer service! I had to give it one star or else it would not accept this review! Should be a negative star or two!
