Great timing device. Very easy to set. You just turn the dial to set the time, then push in the black pins (seen in the black ring in the picture) at the time you want the device on. This makes timing very flexible,as you could have a device come on every 15 minutes or so if you wanted. On downside is that this will block the other outlet on a standard wall jack, so be prepared to use a powerstrip in conjunction with this.

I ordered two of these Stanley timers as they were exactly what I wanted. When they arrived in a couple of days, one worked as expected, but the other was obviously broken and didn't work. I thought; now the nightmare begins, but to my surprise, their response on email was prompt and understanding. Their reply included a prepaid mailing label to return the broken timer. A few days later, they let me know the timers were now out of stock, but offered a substitute, which is actually a better timer. This is absolutely the best customer service I've received from any kind of merchant in a long, long time. I'll be a repeat customer.

I ordered this product to cycle outdoor Christmas lights. I received it two hours ago, and it is an inoperable piece of junk. Total DOA. The so-called instructions are a small, one page pamplet (French on one side, English on the other.) The timer has a ring of small plastic buttons on the outer rim. These are black (predictably described as gray in the instruction sheet), and you are instructed to push them in to set the "on function" for that time segment. Fine, except that they won't go in. I suppose a hammer might do it. Clearly, a small synchronous clock-motor is present inside but even when powered on, there is an ominous silence.

It's also worth mentioning that a three-prong grounded outlet is required. This should have been revealed in the product description. Clearly, it isn't suitable for a string of Christmas lights with a heavy-duty grounded extension cord involved.

Finally, I noticed that out of five reviews, two indicated faulty units. More alarming, both of the faulty units are the more recent reviews. A failure rate of 40%, and rising, is proof that this product it unfit for sale.

I really dislike returning things. Beyond the bother, it always makes me feel like the complaining type. But, I honestly think that this product is a bad one and the consumer deserves the warning. Thank God, for Amazon's outstanding return policy. This ones going back. Thank you.
