| Work very good, the ¨never lose pins¨ it`s great, you can program events every 10 minutes or so, for 24 hours, so it give you a lot events during the day. |
works on a wall and on a surge protector

| After plugging this into the wall, you rotate the knob to point to the current time of day, then it keeps time for itself. The pins stay in but slide in and out depending on when you want your lamp to turn on or off. Then plug in the lamp, fan, whatever. I have it turn on a heater in my bathroom in the morning :) and a fan in my room around midnight. So far it does everything it should, I have no complaints. I will update if it stops working |
Work as it should.

"The timer turns, but the pins don't work; the timer just makes a clicking sound and nothing turns on or off when the dial passes through the switched pins. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I have it plugged to the wall through a three-to-two prong converter?
I've emailed the manufacturer, Coleman Cable with this message. I'll post more info as I receive it."
Above is the original review. I have since received a replacement from the seller (who will get an excellent rating) and it works just fine. So product is A-OK, I just received a defective one originally. |
Nice design for light-duty appliations (no pun intended).

After 2 months service controlling a 75W floor-mounted fan, I'm satisfied with my purchase. For a low-power, light-duty application such as this, the timer is convenient, well designed and adequately robust.
I purchased this gadget to control a floor-mounted electric fan, and it serves that light-duty application just fine, so far. The design is quite convenient. It's really simple and easy to set the on/off duratior ns by raising/lowering a group of "flippers"; it's a much better design than the removable clips on the Intermatic products. (Intermatic on/off toggles are easily lost, and their products only provide 3 intervals. This equipment provides all 48 possible settings at all times, without a lot of fuss and bother, and without losing the setters.)
I also liked the manual bypass switch. Much more convenient than the rotary switch found on the competing intermatic products.
The 3-prong, "earthed", side mounted outlet was a key selection criteria; safety is vastly greater with grounded equipment.
For a heavy-duty application, such as a large motor (ie. Swimming pool pump) or heater (ie. Space heater), I'd likely spend a few bucks more for a heavy-duty Intermatic timer, such as their WH40 (Little Grey Box) that's been running my water heater for almost 25 years. (http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-WH40-Electric-Water-Heater/dp/B00004W4XI)
For ten bucks, this is perfectly adequate, and well designed. |
