3.0 out of 5 stars Works, but don't use while you are at home, December 8, 2005

This review is from: Timex Single-Program Timer (Kitchen)

This outlet timer works fine, and the price is right, but it ticks fairly loudly while it is plugged in. I bought it to turn my Christmas tree on and off automatically, but I found it distracting to sit in the room with it. This is a fine product if you want to turn your lights on and off while you are away, or if you are used to background noises (it's fine if I play music to cover the noise), but if you are used to quiet you shouldn't use it while you are at home.

1.0 out of 5 stars Light Timer was a dud., February 12, 2007

I bought my light timer from Target.
when I got it I thought "Hey, this oughtta be a good one..." seeing as it's made by Timex, I figured it would be a good buy.

I found out it was a piece of [...]
I would set the time just as it said on the back instructions, I had everything set correctly.
When the day ran to 5PM, I expected it to turn on, but it didn't.
I pulled out my couch and looked behind it to find that the dial AM/PM buttons on the timer had went all the way around with the ticker and pulled themselves next to eachother and the time had been reset.
No matter how many times I fixed it, over and over again it would repeat the same process.
I was VERY annoied.
so... on my 23rd attempt at setting it correctly, I CAREFULLY read the instructions on the back of the timer, set it, making sure it was correct, and pluged it in once more.
five o'clock rolls around and nothing happens.
When it turned to 5:30 the light timer turned on.

I had the timer set to 5PM turn on time and 2AM turn off time.

the timer turned off at 11PM.
That was the one and ONLY time it ALMOST did something correctly.

Today, frustrated with the timer, I tried setting it again.
Well, it's broke now.
I twisted it the wrong way on purpose, putting the horrible item out of it's misery.

I wouldn't reccomend this timer to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars cheap, overpriced..and 2-prong-not three, January 20, 2007

very cheap, very flimsy; will it last is the first question that comes to mind. and the plug is really done badly. it is a two-prong plug, so any 3-prong stuff will not work. and most stuff is now 3-prong. how dumb! at no cost difference they could have had a 3-prong recepticle and plug..and made it safe. with 2-prong, there is always the problem of safety. at the 6.40 price..i feel, kinda duped. but not worth the hassle to return. would i buy again, that is a firm NO.
