After reading these reviews I was a little hesitant but after I purchased it, this thing is a no brainer.
You got to be kidding me about the reviews.
Print too small - I have 20/40 and 20/70 and was able to read this, no problem. Only thing I couldn't read is the back because it's in Spanish.
LED screen too small - put it closer to your face, how big do you need this thing to be, playskol size lettering?
Difficulty - Not at all, those who couldn't figure this out probably still have 12:00 flashing on their vcr's.
Very easy to use, the LED screen was not hard to read at all. The count down can be little tricky but I don't plan to use it. If the device is not on when you receive it (meaning that the display is blank, no time or date), you'll have to put it into the wall to charge it's internal battery.
You have to set the current time and day, (how else will it know to turn on and off the power) hold unit with 2 hands, hold down the clock button while you hit Hour to change the hour, Minute to change the minutes and Day to select which day of the week it is today. Next you want the device to power your appliance/utility at a certain time and then cut the power at another time. So when you click on set, the first time you set is when you want the device to come on, then the time you'll set is when you want the device to go off, by default it's set from Sunday to Saturday but if you want to which days it will work, you select day.
Simple.
Ok, to be honest I used other timers before but this one is the simplest one I've used yet. I also bought a manual one which is even easier, no removable pins.
Some folk may get confused regarding the on, off, auto on and auto off.
On = always on, no matter what is set as the timer
Off = Always off, no power, zip nada, no matter what is set on the timer.
Auto on = This means that power is being supplied to the unit, but if there's a setting in the timer to turn it off, it will follow that instruction. For example, you have it connected to a lamp. you set it to come on at 10pm and go off by 1am. It's now 9pm (maybe not when you're reading this but use your imagination), you select Auto On, the lamp will turn on, stay on but will turn itself off at 1am.
Auto off = This mean the opposite of the above. It will cut the power now, but if there's something set in the timer it will cut it on. Example: You have it connected to a lamp and have it set 10pm to 1am. It's now 11 pm, you select auto off, it will turn off the light now, but at 10pm tomorrow it will turn the light back on following what ever you have programed into the unit.

This timer works well. The programming is one of the easiest to figure out of the digital timers I have tried.
Features
20 on/off cycles that can be set up. They can be set up for the whole week, an individual day, weekdays, weekends, MWF, TWSa, etc.
Random mode.
Daylight savings time mode.
Internal "battery" backup
Pros
- Works as expected
- Does not get messed up when the power glitches like the similar Woods brand timer.
- Lots of features
- Relatively easy to program
Cons
- Possibly too many features for some people
- LCD display is small, the Random indicator and DST indicator on the display are almost impossible to read.
- May be hard to figure out for people that aren't tecnically competent, they should consider a mecanical timer.
Overall this is a great little timer for the price. I also bought a GE Outdoor timer #06661. It was easier to program had a larger LCD but less features and it is much larger. I did not read the manual at all for either timer and had no trouble figuring them out.

Bought this for use with an air conditioner, and so far it's been excellent. Yes, the manual could be much larger--it's rather difficult to read, as is the display on the timer itself--but it's very simple and easy to program and so far it's been completely reliable. It took me about 5 minutes to set up an entire week of on/off programs--and you don't need to be a genius to figure it out, trust me. So if you don't mind a little squinting, it's well worth the money--under $20 for a very good product.

It was a nice timer...while it lasted. Maybe I'm old fashion, but I would like the products I purchase to last for a few years at least. Read more

Recommended timer.
The digital numbers are tiny, but that is a small price to pay for the convenience of using the timer. Read more
