This purchase replaces an identical timer that had a broken selecter switch (I broke it). The previous timer performed perfectly and the new one does likewise. Inexpensive, compact and simple to operate with full functions.

I have a couple of these to control microsprinkler systems. They work great, survive winters outside and are very inexpensive compared to others.

The timer was easy to install and worked perfectly. The only thing that it did not have was the screws to attach it to the wall. Luckily we were removing a prior sprinkler timer and were able to use the same screws. Guess had we not been replacing one, we would have had to make a trip to the hardware store. It does not state on the packaging that no screws included either. That is my only complaint so will change from a 5 star to 4 star.

My new Orbit 57114 replaces the same model that I installed 15 years ago. The new model, with its upgrades, is easier to set up and much easier to make changes as the weather changes. It is definitely an upgrade. I really like it.

Easy to install and program, I think this is one of their best timers. I do install them in a waterproof box (if outside, and that includes the power brick) since they are not made for direct weather. (see the negative comments others have left. These all appear to have been installed unprotected).

When I bought this unit to control my small yards 3 stations, it was up and running in minutes, and very easy to set-up, test and modify if necessary.
Unfortunately before the year was over the unit stopped responding and broke. I was afraid to get another one. Some newer units have more outside
protecting and even lock, but this unit is very easy to use.

This unit replaced an identical one that over the years had gone bad. Took a couple of days longer to get it than I thought,but still in Amazons time frame.
