This timer works well, is simple to use, and provides accurate timing up to 2hrs! The ability to time for 2hrs is the primary reason I purchased this timer. It's nice that it comes in several colors, but of course that's more a marketing gimmick than anything. As with most timers these days, the shut-off is rather abrupt, which can cause your pipes to bang -- a minor annoyance for me. I especially like the fact that it's all-mechanical so there is no need to worry about batteries corroding over time or wearing out mid-cycle.
Previous reviews mention leaking. The issue here is that the combination plastic washer/screen that you can see sticking out the top of the faucet connection-end on the photo is lousy. The material is way too hard to allow you to make a water tight connection. I replaced this inferior part with a rubber washer/metal screen from ACE Hardware and it worked like a charm.
If Dramm would use a decent screen/washer I'd give this device 5 stars.

The Dramm water timer isn't the best built unit with it's all plastic housing. You definitely have to install it with Teflon tape, otherwise the product will leak. Even with the Teflon tape the product leaks a little bit. Finally, if you are using the product with a Sprayer nozzle and you have it turned off, the pressure from the water backing up causes water to flow out of the unit. The timer does, however, effectively shut off water in the allotted time. It's an okay product, not great.

I hooked this thing up and set it to a 15 minute timer. Needless to say I bought this because I forget to shut off my water in time. About an hour later my back yard was flooded and the timer still sat at 15 minutes, it never counted down! I heard it ticking like the regular egg type timers do, but aside from that this piece of junk didn't do anything! I would have sent it back but it wasn't worth what it would cost to return.

Words but breaks easy.
Does not stand up to any sheer forces....such as tension on the hose. Worked well for the month I used it last summer...until it broke.

Poor design, it broke.
I would never buy another one. Upon fastening it to an outdoor faucet, it come apart in my hands. No thank you.

Came apart the 2nd time I used it.
The connector to the faucet blew completely off the 2nd time I used it. Don't buy this one. Try the Melnor Model 101. I used
one for years before the pool guys broke it.
