This timer does NOT plug in to a normal residential outlet. One of the two upper prongs in oriented horizontally [instead of vertically] and therefore it will not work in most homes.

After a fair amount of hunting for a unit of sufficiently high amperage rating at a reasonable price, I bought this for my 11,500 BTU window-unit air conditioner. I wanted something that would turn on the A/C before I got home so I didn't have to waste electricity cooling the house all day.

This unit is designed to plug into a 20-amp outlet, and thus one of the plug blades is rotated 90 degrees. Make sure you have a 20-amp outlet before you buy this, otherwise you won't be able to plug it in.

The unit will accommodate 2 on/off cycles per day, so I have mine set to start the A/C in the morning, then turn it off, and then restart it in the afternoon. If you need more cycles, I'd imagine you could get more of the little plastic pins from Intermatic, though I haven't tried this.

The unit can also be manually overridden if you want to turn it on in between cycles. It will then resume the normal cycle when it hits the next programmed time.

This unit is completely mechanical, and setting it is a straightforward matter of setting the correct time by twisting the dial, and then inserting the small plastic pins to correspond to when you want it on or off.

DO NOT try to use a cheap lamp timer for a heavy appliance; you run the risk of creating a fire.

I'm very happy with this unit. It's been doing its job now for three summers in a row. I'd highly recommend it.
