2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Start, May 10, 2005

This review is from: Orbit 62015 2-Dial Hose Faucet Control Timer (Lawn & Patio)

I ran this timer for 1 day and it began to fail to open for watering. I changed the batteries, no luck. I called Orbit and they said my water preasure had to be limited to 82lbs, which was not noted in their manual.

I turned down my water preasure to about 75lbs and it still didn't work. I had to turn down the preasure to a level that could not drive my impact sprinkler before this timer would open its water valve.

I offered to send it back to Orbit, instead of Home Depot where I purchased it, so they could evaluate their problem. I received no response to my email. They claim a 4 year warranty but do not state it in their manual?? I returned mine and got a Gilmore 9100 at Lowe's.

My advice, go to the Gilmour 9100 or 9400 water timer. A more time tested and reliable product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Durability, May 12, 2007

By 

just mo in (LA, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orbit 62015 2-Dial Hose Faucet Control Timer (Lawn & Patio)

Pros

1. Easy to Use - user friendly design

Cons

1. Poor Durability - two separate units failed within a year of operation. One unit failed at the hose connection. The other unit had a significant internal leak. Orbit's long warranty claim implies durability but don't be fooled. I didn't bother with sending the units back since I was not interested in getting the same timers as replacements.

2. Sensitive to Water Pressure - at times, I had to turn off the water to the timer in order to allow the weak internal valve to finally close. Otherwise, the timer would not be able to shut off the water.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk: Orbit Timer, July 3, 2007

I hate to be harsh but this unit is a piece of junk. It killed more of my plants/saplings by not turning on: fresh batteries are no match for the orbit. The unit has issues with not being able to turn on or off if either due to the water pressure or poor design. This product is not dependable which is exactly what you don't want in a water timer. Everything mentioned in the other negative reviews on this page I have experienced firsthand.

Buy the Melnor and rest assured your plants will be watered while you are away.
