Very basic timer. Works as advertised. My parents have a simliar timer built on the same winding clock mechanism and it's been working for 30+ yrs. I think it's better than the ones you need to replace a battery.

Plug it in and off you go. Super simple to use and operate.
Build quality is not bad considering the price.
If you look closely at the photo, this unit only has a socket to accept a 2 prong plug. Its listed as being great for auto-switching lighting which is true as long as your lights have only a 2 prong plug. Unfortunately mine are the 3 prong type (even though the lights themselves aren't grounded), but a voided warranty, a drill and 5 minutes is all it takes to fix that (obviously not advised if you need a grounded outlet!!!)

works great... not to-the-second reliable, but if you're aiming for 10pm and it goes off at 10:01, you're not gonna be upset, right?

the unit plugs into the wall, with a receptacle on the right for your lights/fans/etc. The wall-plug is grounded, so you CAN'T flip it upside down. SO if your outlet doesn't have a lot of clearance on the right hand side, uh-oh!

the red tabs turn stuff off, the bluegreen ones turn stuff on. I had some Xmas lights plugged into this, and had it set up to turn on at 6am-8am, and again from 3pm-10pm. Worked exactly as expected.

One caveat - the unit gets warmer than you'd expect. not too hot to hold, just warm.
