5.0 out of 5 stars You Would Not Believe This.
Here are the "good" and "bad" on this product...ADVANTAGES.1. This is the highest consumer rated timer among 179 Bolo.com users with a score of 4.8 of 5.0 stars. Competing brands do not come close..2. It will operate with the highest energy demanding devices. The timer is able handle equipment that requires a maximum of 15 Amps, 0.5 HP, or 1,725 watts..3. UL tested and approved..4. There is a maximum of 96 15-minute settings..5. The construction is heavy - very rugged. It is not the familiar light cheap plastic types that are commonly sold in hardware stores..6. At $10, the consumer is getting great value for an over engineered and durable product that will last for years. For the quality, it should cost $20 to $30..7. It is simple to use. First, slide the side switch to TIMER. Second, use a tooth pick to press down the tabs on the clock dial to set the time(s) for the device to go ON. Each tab represents 15 minutes of activation. Third, rotate the round clock dial and position the black triangle to the present time..8. There is no comparison between this product and the competition. Through the years, I have used Intermec and GE brands. These were the only choices on the shelves of Lowes and Home Depot. They were cheaply made; they tend to overheat; and the life expectancy was short. The biggest problem was the limited number of settings. Two or four plastic pegs were provided to turn devices ON and OFF. In other words, the user can only activate the device once or twice in a 24-hour day. These plastic pegs tend to fall off and get lost - rendering the timer useless..The CENTURY 24 product does not have the above problems. Most important, there are no plastic pegs to insert and lose. Just depress any of the 96 15-minute settings with a toothpick to set a various number of activation times..9. The device is grounded for safety...DISADVANTAGES.1. The timer is heavy and big - leaves little room for another electrical device to plug into the electrical outlet..2. The manufacturer, Century Products, is not well known as Intermec or GE, competing companies that also make timers..3. The timer can only control one electrical device...==================================================================================================..UPDATE 1: I was too premature with my praise for this product. Of the two purchased, one went dead after two days...==================================================================================================..UPDATE 2: The malfunction happened on a Saturday. Three hours after requesting that the defective timer be returned for a refund, the vendor contacted me by email. He politely asked for a description of the problem, which I replied. Within an hour, a second email expressed his personal apologies and indicated that a free replacement will be shipped on Monday..The unit arrived a few days later. It was rigorously tested. The product turned my bedroom lamp ON and OFF every 15 minutes for 16 hours everyday. It was OFF for eight hours, because I did not want the lights flashing ON and OFF while sleeping. The testing will continue for the next few days. So far, the replacement timer is working without any problems..The reality is that defects in manufacturing happen all the time. This is normal..What is not normal is this vendor's reaction. It is unbelievable that a company immediately responded to a customer complaint within three hours on a weekend, confirm the issue within an hour, and ship a free replace on the next business day. Such an experience is "an all-time first." I am totally flabbergasted..Customer service like this puts all other businesses to shame. In fact, it must be emulated by all companies...==================================================================================================..UPDATE 3: I was so impressed with the product's quality, versatility, durability, reliability, and usefulness that I purchased four units. In operation for 24/7, they were continuously ON since October 16, 2016. During this time period, there were no breakdowns or time inaccuracies. My lights and lamps were turned ON and OFF without failure.
5.0 out of 5 stars great light timer ⏱️
Bought this for my plant grow lights. This unit was easy to set up and works perfectly. Setting the “current time dial” was easy to see and do. I would have liked the black pegs that need to be pushed down to set the “on hours” to be a lighter color because the black is very hard to see.I will purchase more units for my home. THANKS 😊
5.0 out of 5 stars Work great.
Easy to use.
4.0 out of 5 stars Aquarium timer
We’re going out of town and didn’t want to bother anyone to come to my house daily to worry about Loki, it’s cheap, light and super easy to set up. Worth it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Automatic timer
I use this for my 10 gallon fish tank and it works wonderful! The black on the timer is night. It was easy to adjust and set the time. Only can use for 1 electric item at a time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!
What I like about this timer is that you can adjust it to a finer degree. Most timers you can only adjust twice or less between an hour which is okay if you're only turning on and off lights but not water.
5.0 out of 5 stars Programs Easily
These timers are time accurate...doesn't gain or loose time.Easy to program.
3.0 out of 5 stars So far so good
Edit:The timer stopped working after 4 months. I sent them an email to see if they will replace it. At least it stopped working in the off situation.I'm not using it for this, I use it on a coffee warmer, but if you are legally growing cannabis, I would stay away from this timer. Big chance it could mess up your 12/12 cycle.Original review:It takes a few minutes to figure out how to set it if you are used to the ones with the tiny plastic inserts. This eliminates them and is an improvement once you figure it out.The one negative is it partially blocks the second plug on a duplex outlet. I can plug in a basic standard two prong plug in below it, but the three way plug multiplier I had on that outlet will not plug in because this thing is so bulky.It's quiet. The old ones I have have a low sort of churning sound that can be a little annoying when things are quiet in the room.I like the on switch on the side. The timer functions on and off while its in the off position but if you wanted to just turn it on and off real quick, the switch allows for that.I like the power-on LED. This tells you whenever power is on...obviously. It comes on when the timer setting is to be on, and turns off when the timer turns off, and also comes on if you turn the switch on the side to on. I like seeing that quickly and obviously.I bought this to use with a miniature hot plate I have as a coffee warmer. I have it set to come on earlier in the AM and off early afternoon when I am usually finished drinking coffee or tea. I do that because sometimes I forget to turn the hot plate off and I'm afraid it will go haywire when I'm not in my office and start a fire.This is really 4.5 star product but I dont know how long it will last and I see others have had some failures. 1/2 star off for only using it for a while so far and dont know the longevity and 1/2 start off for it partially blocking the adjacent plug on the duplex outlet. They could have just made the casing a little bit smaller on the bottom and would not have this issue.

Satisfied with the timer and prompt delivery.
Temporizador de tiempo
Fabuloso, se programa a las horas y tiempo necesario, todos los días establecidos
Funciona bien
Como todo “timer” hay que programarlo con cuidado para que funcione más tiempo. Lo uso para algunos aparatos caseros y funciona bien
