5.0 out of 5 stars Timers that actually work!
I've had these timers in the past and they work the BEST. When I needed a new timer for my toddler's room, I had the hardest time finding something that wasn't digital. When I tried digital, I wasn't happy so back to old faithful I went!

1.0 out of 5 stars poor quality; works intermittently - NOT HEAVY DUTY
The only "heavy" thing about these timers is the weight -- not the performance. One of the two timers works with relative regularity (interesting that regularity is relative for a clock of sorts). The other quickly gets off time and does not turn on/off as a function of the little pins it is constructed to respond to. I would STRONGLY recommend buying a different...

Piece of junk timer. Worked for a couple of months and then stopped. Shipping is too expensive to return it, so threw it in the trash... just one more made-in-China plastic product in the landfill.

Works fine, but you can get it at half the price in a big box home improvement store. Also, it does not work with three-pronged plugs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine for lights, December 20, 2010

This review is from: Intermatic TN111C61 2-Pack Heavy Duty Lamp and Appliance Timers (Tools & Home Improvement)
Had ours going everyday for over a year now (for decorative/accent lighting in the living room and kitchen), set to turn on when we wake up and turn off around bedtime. They get warm, but not hot, after an hour or two.

Haven't noticed any issues with it keeping time (it turns on at 6 and off at 10).

That said, a month after buying them I saw a similar 2-pack at a large orange DIY big box store, for about 2/3 the cost here at Amazon.

They're definitely NOT 3-pronged, so I don't know how heavy duty they are. But they handle lights drawing power all day just fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good low price timer, August 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intermatic TN111C61 2-Pack Heavy Duty Lamp and Appliance Timers (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have these timers and I just want to point out that the receiver on these timers if made for a 2 prong. I went out and got a grounded 3 prong converter at walmart for 3 for under $2 and it works fine now.

The only thing is that whenever I go near the timers, to plug something else in or whatever I always bump the time of day dial and have to reset it.... so if you have the money it might be nicer to go with a digital. But for the price of these timers... it works just fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars bad product description, June 25, 2008

This review is from: Intermatic TN111C61 2-Pack Heavy Duty Lamp and Appliance Timers (Tools & Home Improvement)
This clams to be the heavy duty timer, this is just the normal two prong unit I thought that I was ordering the unit that includes the grounding prong. To send this back I would have to pay the shipping which would be almost as much as the cost of the timers to begin with. Be sure you read the description on what you are ordering, not just what you think you are ordering.
