I bought this to put on my water softener. The softener is old and cycles every day which is more recharging than I needed so I got this so I could have it recharge every few days instead.

The timer works great but the little marks are very hard to figure out. There are two rows of marks which are not close to the on/off tabs so its difficult to line up. Plus the tabs aren't well placed so its hard to tell which are for what time. So it takes a little experimentation.

It does have easy little tabs that you pop up or down depending when you want it on or off. The tabs are good for 2 hours so that is the smallest increment you can go. Other than that you can set it for any number of combinations for the whole week.

Overall, its great if you need a cheap week long timer and you aren't worried about exact times or are willing to spend some time initially to get it set right.

The timer is exactly as advertised. I love the flexabilty of true self directed programming. Love the switches that slide in and out, no pins to lose. The only con is the small switches, but does not reduce the effectiveness of the product.

I like this type of timer. You can set individual days (although the tabs are tiny) and you can't lose the tabs like some older models because they are built in.

it broke within days of first using it, the on off switches didn't all work and it started making a whirring noise which was scary

This is a piece of junk. Website description does not note that it can only be set in 2-hour increments. The hours printed on the timer wheel do not match the pins, so you have no idea what time you're actually setting. Amazon should not even be selling this.
