1.0 out of 5 stars Worked great for 2 weeks..., August 19, 2008

OK product, the mechanism to set the on/off times is a little difficult to use (requires nimble fingers to set the tiny switches) and the On-Timer-Off switch is difficult to see in low light.

Those are minor annoyances; what made me write the review and give one star is the fact that after 2 weeks mine stopped working. The power strip itself works, but the timer no longer switches the outlets.

Update: March 2011
I returned this and was sent a new one which worked for 2 1/2 years. Here I am shopping for another one because, as another reviewer reported, the timer mechanism is jammed and won't let me set the time anymore.

The ironic thing is that the power this thing saved in the time it worked will not even come close to offsetting the energy and materials used in it's construction. It's not easy being green!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not well constructed, June 15, 2009

After about six months, the timer mechanism itself started breaking down. At this point, it is next to impossible to set (something seized up to prevent one from rotating the dial), and it looks like it may also be running slow now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great timer strip for Bearded Dragons, June 13, 2009

Works great. The directions could be a little more clearer (pictures would be helpful) but eventually I figured it out. My mistake was in pushing one of the wee little tiny pegs forward. The light would go out but then in 15 minutes come back on. What I needed to do was push ALL the pegs (on the dial) up until the next time I wanted it to come on or go off. After I figured that out it is just what I needed. I like that I can plug 4 in on the timer & the other 4 are off the timer. I have two bearded dragon cages & each need two plugs so this works great! It took me awhile to find one that would fit my needs. Alot of the reptile one's are made for "night heat" lights to come on when the day lights go off. Bearded Dragons don't need that feature.
