Ratings & Reviews for PRIME 15 -Amps 125-volt 2 -Outlet Programmable Digital Lighting Timer

Flawed design

The fact that the prior state of the Mode switch determines the behavior of the timer after the user puts it into Auto mode is a flaw.

Light on light off

I had the older model of this timer, and it lasted approx. 10 years. Took some time to learn due to less buttons and the ones combined function. Whole lot simpler, works like a champ!

Easy to use and serves its purpose.

Easy to use

Worse Instructions Ever

Product works well but loses time (not a lot, 10 minutes in 3 months). Instructions are convoluted & very tricky. Lose them & you’re screwed. Cannot find them on the internet. Buy some other product!

Instructions are terrible

Very hard to program

Read the instructions first

Kept my grow lights on schedule while I was out of town

Read instructions carefully to setup.

It's nice, but a little challenging to setup.

Not for appliances

Worked with a lamp. Would not work with an appliance.

Tech expert needed

Very difficult to set the times. You need to be a tech expert to be able to figure out how to use this. It is unnecessarily complicated. It might be useful if you want the timer to come in at a different time every day. I followed the directions and it took me about 2 hours to set it.

Models

These seem to work. BUT In the row these items were back to back and higher up on the shelves, however, 2 different models. So I had to figure out how to set the times with 2 different instructions. These were not the same instructions.

The programing instructions are hard to follow.

It seemed difficult to program. Needs AM PM option.

Much Better than I Anticipated

In reading the reviews of this timer, I was expecting it to be hard/confusing to program. The instructions were relatively easy to follow and I had no issues. One thing to note, I was programming the unit during a time that where the lights should have been 'on' they did not immediately come on. I left it to sit until the next cycle started and they did turn on/off at the programmed times.

Light timer

Set up was confusing, but once done, the timer works very well

Utilitech (Lowe's) Timer

Compact, accurate, dependable, & easy to operate and program.

helps out with our night time sleep environment.

the timer works well to turn WIFI on and off at specific times

Don't Buy

This is a terrible, way too complicated timer for a simple product that turns lights on and off. Cannot be used with a typical table lamp as the lamp plug must be a 3-prong. Programming is much too difficult and confusing. Product will be returned for a refund.

Product too complicated

Too complicated. Instructions definitely not helpful. I wish I could return it.
