Amazon.com Product Description
Incredibly easy to use, this electric lawn and garden timer from Gilmour keeps your yard looking its best, even during hot summer months. The two-dial system with electronic keypad is a snap to set: Simply press Enter and listen for the audio beep to confirm program entry; the system will then repeat the watering cycle at the interval set. You can set the program to repeat every 24 hours or you can set it to skip a day. You can also choose a repeat interval from once every six hours up to once every seventh day, and you can set the watering duration from two minutes up to 120 minutes. There are also manual on/off settings that let you water exactly how often you wish, and a swivel nut for easy connection to the faucet. The timer requires two AA alkaline batteries (not included).

The Best Timer I've Found!,

This review is from: Gilmour 9100 Electronic Water Timer Teal/Black (Lawn & Patio)
I have bought many different garden timers and the Gilmour is the only one that has lasted for more than one season! I have spent so much money trying to find a good timer and this is finally the one! In fact, this is the 3rd Gilmour 9100 that I have purchased for my garden; the other two are still going strong after 2 years. They are easy to connect and program. I give this timer a 5 star rating.

Best of the Bunch.,

This review is from: Gilmour 9100 Electronic Water Timer Teal/Black (Lawn & Patio)
I bought and evaluated four of the leading Hose Faucet Timers; Orbit 62015, Melnor 3015, Raindrip, and Gilmour 9100 before returning all but the Gilmour.
Orbit failed the second day of use. Would not open all the way. Melnor was more complicated to setup and provided no means to identify/verify your setup. Raindrip, like Obit, had to be set at the time you wanted watering to start (like at 5am in the morning you want to be up early with a flash light), plus Raindrip had only a 3 month Warranty?? Gilmour was a pleasant experience and costs about the same as the others. First you can program it any time and any where because it allows you to set a Delay up to 23 hours before your watering schedule is to start and you can do it in your armchair because the timer part clips on and off the faucet/hose connection part. In addition the 9100 setup was easy with three buttons; Delay(start time of watering in hour increments), +15 Min(set watering duration in 15 min increments, and Repeat Days(to water, from every day to every 7th day. Each button press gives you a beep feed back and a Review button beeps back how many increments on each setup button you have set in. It also was the most water tight of the four. The fact it can be set to water only once per day may be a con for some, in which case you would need their more expensive 9400 model. But if you read about wise watering, you would be doing it only once per day anyway. Personally I would shy away from getting a more complicated one of these timers because as you read here, most don't last very long. In fact, if you can remember to go twist a mechanical timer dial that will turn on your water then shut off automatically (Gilmour 9200 Model), then this is the most reliable device costs less, and doesn't use batteries.

Not the quality of the earlier model,
By Deb (29 Palms, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gilmour 9100 Electronic Water Timer Teal/Black (Lawn & Patio)
This is not the Gilmour model 9100 that performed so reliably for me for over three years. The original model had a white body, electronic keypad, and a black hinged cover. Gilmour apparently designed a completely different timer and used it to supercede the old model, using the same model number. It does not compare well with the earlier version.
My original Gilmour 9100 worked beautifully until I let it freeze this past winter. I ordered a replacement from Amazon; the original model was still displayed on the site at that time. I received this odd-looking green timer. This new green 9100 timer has died after 3 months of use. It may have had a problem being exposed to the sun, as it does not have the protective cover of the original model. The control panel became sunbaked and brown after about a month. I was a little concerned about the controls being exposed to rain and sun, but I thought the timer would last a year at least. When the timer died recently, it died with the valve halfway open, so the water ran continuously. I tried replacing the batteries, but the timer did not respond. I have not sworn off Gilmour products altogether yet. The previous 9100 model was excellent. I do wish that manufacturers would not recycle model numbers when they redesign a product so significantly. I find this very misleading. When you are reading the reviews for this product to make your buying decision, keep in mind that any reviews prior to 2007 are likely to be for a completely different product. I do not recommend the redesigned Gilmour 9100.
