Confusing

Would Not Recommend

Very confusing instructions with no success. Nice concept for multiple random settings if you can figure it out. Might be taking it back to the store.

Couldn't Get Program to Work

Would Not Recommend

Followed instructions, tedious and confusing. Didn't work. Difficult to reach help line. Returned to Lowe's. Found simpler manual setting device using pins for less than half the price.

Hard to use, battery died in about a year

Would Not Recommend

This product was always difficult to use, it was always a study to reprogram it which I had to do often. Battery stopped recharging after a year rendering the unit non-functional. Definitely will look for a different option now, do yourself a favor and don't purchase.

Defective

Would Not Recommend

The time function does not work. When you set the time for the timer, the time will not move as if the time is freezing. It is amazing such a defective product can pass the factory inspection.

UNRELIABLE!

Would Not Recommend

When BOTH of these timers factory reset on their own 3 days in a row I returned BOTH of them. Ideal function but doesn’t work properly.

Installed 2 of these in our master bath for the exhaust fans. It’s so nice to have them stop running when we forget to turn them off!

Worst timers ever!

Would Not Recommend

These are a complete waste of money! They might last one season, if you're lucky. The programming is not easy but I figured it out.

Digital timer

Would Not Recommend

I can not get it to do what I bought it for. Programming is too difficult. I am waiting for someone to visit that can do it for me.

Instructions unclear

Would Recommend

It was rather difficult to program because it didn’t work the way the instructions said. I have another programmable one that is a piece of cake to set and thought this would be similar.

Hard to Read

Would Not Recommend

Hard to read with these old eyes for setting. You can charge the backup battery, pull it back off the wall, set your 7 day times and plug back in. There is a simpler one to set, same make, different model.
