I purchased this digital timer last month to control a bank of lights I use for growing houseplants during the darker months. I have recommended this product to friends and family, and I will purchase again.
After substantial digging on the Intermatic website and the wider Internet, I can't seem to find a functional difference between this model (Intermatic HB800RCL) and the very slightly more expensive Intermatic HB800RCH 15-AMP 7-Day Outdoor Digital Timer. Both are designed for outdoor use, can handle a resistive load of up to 15 amps, and have two receptacles; the only difference appears to be cosmetic, in the shape of the timers' plastic shell.
Do not be intimidated by reviews stating that this timer is too complicated to program! Out of the box, I had it running my lights on a fairly complex on/off schedule in less than ten minutes. While I am an engineer/scientist, all it took was the instruction pamphlet to set it up correctly.

At first the instructions seem a bit confusing. Once you do a little hands-on experimenting, you'll get the knack of setting events quickly. Programming changes are easy. The idea of having a wheel to change settings is very clever. It beats having to hold down a button until the desired settings are reached.
Pros:
1. It has an On/Off override.
2. It is easy to program - once you get the knack.
3. It allows programming for 8 events - typically 4 on and 4 off per event.
3. It seems to be well constructed.
Cons:
1. The LCD display contrast is such that it's a bit hard to see unless the incident light is just right.
2. It is designed to be wall mounted and cannot be used as a desktop timer.
3. The power cord is short (about two feet) and for some situations would require an (3-prong) extension cord.

I bought this timer to use for our outside Holiday lighting.
It has a the three prong plug on an extended cable which only
takes up one outlet allowing you full use of the second outlet.
It has two outlets to plug into and with 15 Amp capability I
have no problems with power. I found it very easy to program
and had it working in very little time. It can be wall mounted
allowing you full access to the controls and digital screen.
I also liked the green led that lights up showing you when
the unit is on, (powering the outlets).
