5.0 out of 5 stars Best mechanical timer I've ever seen, July 4, 2008

I've used others and they always break. I live in a city with high line pressures (80-120psi). This timer appears to be more solidly built than any of the others. Also has a 6 year warranty. It's probably not worth the hassle of actually taking the company up on the warranty given the low cost of the item, but it does indicate that they believe in the durability of the product. I'll update the review as time progresses.

This is great and we love these timers. However you have to be aware of a manufacturing defeciency in the turn knob. These knobs break easily off the stem over a little time, so I remove them and fill in the empty space around the stem slot(on the underside of the knob) with epoxy putty. Orbit should really do a better job on these weak knobs.

When I first got this, I broke the dial because I turned it too far. After I fixed it with super glue, the product has been working pretty well. If they had made the dial a little sturdier, then I would've given this product a 5-star rating.
