Intermatic timer are very reliable and well built. I have used and installed many of these timers for years and have had no problems with them. The time is easy to set and the trippers stay put when properly installed (also easy to do). The timer is also easy to manually overide if needed with the flip of a switch. If used in outdoor location be sure to buy raintight enclosure.

This is an excellent product. It is simple to install and will last many years.

T101R Worked good for almost three years then all of a sudden stopped working and keeping time. Went to several forums online and saw many people had the same problem as I have. Still can not fix it but will probably have to replace it since it is out of warranty already.

I purchased the timer to be used in conjunction with a De Humidifier. We are snowbirds, ie. in Fl for the Winter (where the de humidifier is) and then we move to Western NY for the summer. We need the unit to run without exception for the 6 months we will be away.
The timer is noisy, not annoying but it is questionable if it will work for the time we will be away. Without the de humidifier the home will absorb much moisture and mold will form.
I feel uneasy.

Haven't set this one up yet, but have used others like it and they have preformed very well.......would definitely recommend this type.

We purchased a house with a swimming pool, and having never owned a pool it's been an education. The old owners had the pool pump running 24/7, which seemed like a waste of energy. After doing a bit of research, it seems like most pools do just fine with three to four hours of water circulation. We also don't get many leaves in the pool, so running the skimmer all day isn't needed for that either. I installed this timer outside, but installed it into a weather proof box I had from an old sprinkler controller I removed (the timer box isn't weather proof). The timer works great. Easy to install. You should be somewhat handy to install. Too early to see how it's affecting my electric bill. Only comes with one set of on/off tabs, so I might buy another set.

Have purchased two of these timers over the last three years, they were setup indoors only used during December for Christmas lighting.

The first one died when the mechanical on/off would not engage during the second year of use.

The replacement was no better as the timer wheel stopped turning also in the second year of use. I'll be replacing this unit tomorrow and it won't be with another intermatic product.

These timers are not cheap and to have to replace them whenever you need to use them is ridiculous.

Overall I rate this product as expensive junk.

I have been using one of these for my garden pond fountain for a number of years and I'm convinced, nothing electronic can replace these "built-to-last" mechanical timers. When the electronic timer I bought for my aquarium failed to perform after going through the agonizing procedure to program the pitiful thing, I looked for this on Amazon and found it! It's been performing faultlessly now for several weeks and I have complete faith that will continue to so far into the far-distant future. You get what you pay for and with this unit you are getting your moneys worth many times over in peace of mind.

I had one before which worked (right on the ocean)for 6 years, if this one works 6 years I will be happy. Good product.

The unit worked great and the service from Amazon was great. It is a pleasure to deal with a company that really cares about the consumer. I hope to have many more dealings with Amazon.
