    A good water timer, but . . . .

    The timer is inexpensive and works well but the lack of a proper clock means the time of setting is the base time for its running. It needs AAA size batteries x 2. How long these will last has yet to be determined. I hope they won't give out on the hottest day of the year. After a year's experience, I recommend this - it works well.

  • Most critical review

    Good, but is it reliable?

    Instructions easy to understand and set up, so when I was going away for four days, I planned a 5 minutes spray, four times daily at 6 hour intervals, over a group of plants in pots. Set it up 2 days in advance so I could see that it was working. Unfortunately it failed the day before I returned and my plants suffered horribly in the July 2018 heatwave. It could be that the batteries (2xAAA) are not man enough to open the valve, or maybe another problem. But the basic machine appears good so maybe I will consult the makers and see if they can advise the reason for the malfunction.

  • Arrived broken. Didn't look well made.

    Arrived broken, so returned. Couldn't obviously see what was wrong, but looking at battery compartment, wires seemed flimsy and poorly connected - so not confident on how well made it was or how long it would last even if it had worked at first. Shame, because it's a good price, but decided to spend more on a different brand.

  • Seems to be much better value than my previous Gardena unit and easy to use

    My previous Gardena unit ran well for about 4 seasons and then started to malfunction. So was relatively expensive compared to this. If it last two seasons it will be better value. Seems a good product.

  • SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE

    Perfectly decent product thst is simple to set up and easy to use. Manual control much beter than LCD screen types which are badly affected by UV.

  • Easy to use ,good

    All seems ok , seems easy to use unfortunately the irrigation system I ordered from another supplier is terrible so haven’t had a proper chance to use it.

  • Product does not work.

    Product does not work. I tried three sets of batteries before connecting to the tap, but the motor did not close the valve within 30 seconds as promised in the instructions. In fact I waited five minuets and nothing happened. Very disappointed. Do not buy this cheap product. The only reason it has got one star is because I can not submit this report without filling in the field!

  • Useful bit of kit

    This has worked very well over the month that I have had it. Kept the greenhouse watered while I was away. Definitely useful bit of kit.

  • Great bit of kit!!

    Amazing quality, price and speed of delivery. Excellent value for money. Set it to water my hanging baskets, troughs and tubs twice a day. It's great that I won't have to depend on anyone watering while we're away on holiday. Very, very impressed and would recommend this product.

  • A very useful device.

    Pros: You don't normally get gadgets that are simple to operate but this is. Just two controls, one for frequency and the other one for how long you want the water to flow. It appears to be very reliable after a couple of days in operation. Cons: The waterproof cap had been screwed on by a gorilla. Gentle use of a vice to get it off. It is designed to screw onto a tap but if you want it in line then a 3/4 to hose connector has to be acquired. Since it is designed to be screwed onto a tap there is no other fixing method available so until I fix it, it is lying on the floor.
