Simple installation
Using this in my garage to operate my pond fountain and lighting.
Very comprehensive timer options available (I am using same settings for every day of the week)
but am sure the flexibility of options available would be welcome to some users.
Simple in/out wiring and earth continuity.
I like this item. Only time will tell about reliability but I am optimistic so far.Read full review

When it works it does the job.
A couple of years ago I purchased one of these timers - which failed after a few months use. After two replacements from the supplier , which also failed after a few months use, I was referred back to Greenbrook who admitted a defective batch of components had been used and that batch of timers was likely to fail. I had a replacement direct from Greenbrook which has worked well ever since. Now it works it works well, it's fairly easy to install & provided you read the instructions to word level it's easy to programme.Read full review

Good household timer
Arrived promptly, easy to install and easy to set and use! We have 3 of these and whilst 2 of them have been working perfectly for 3 years, 1 has failed twice so this is the third in as many years! Still choose this over others on the market for ease of use and value!Read full review

Great ease in changing settings, but might fail due to faulty load.
Great ease in setting times and making changes to timer settings. However the reason I bought this one is because the old one (exact model) failed when the light it feeds became faulty after 2 years. The faulty light's lamb-bulb socket was corroded and must have short-circuited and blew the light bulb. When I replaced the light, I noted that the timer could not produce the AC output even though the 3 amp fuse was intact. Hence I bought this new one as replacement and so far it functions perfectly.
I suspect there is no protection to the timer electronic circuit to guard against a fault in the load supplied. Hence I only give a four star rating.Read full review

Cheap for a reason. Lasts only a few weeks!
Purchased three of thse units from topbuilduk in August. By the end of September, two had failed within a matter of weeks and I'm not holding out much hope for the third one (which was a spare), but has now been fitted to replace the first one! All were professionally fitted and were powering relatively light loads (a small panel heater on one and a towel rail on the other). It's the internal switch which fails, so the unit appears to be working but it just stops sending power to the attached load. Totally useless product which confirms the old saying, 'buy cheap - buy twice'. I'm off to buy more from a respected manufacturer and pay more too. :-(Read full review

Time switch
Came quickly. Decent quality, fitted easily, flexible programming. No issues. It's a timer, it works (well) and is considerably cheaper than most alternatives. Oh and it works on inductive loads too (eg heated towel rails, which is what I used it for), not all time switches are rated for the applications. Would use same again.Read full review

Full of features
Very easy to set up, but when entering the parameters the display turns blue which I found difficult to read in its dark position under a desk - had to use a torch.

Quality switch with great features
3rd of these I have bought now for different applications. Good quality, 7 day timer, clear to read display, easy to operate. One touch for 1-3 hours power on outside of timed use. Can't fault it.

Good quality electromic timer for many applications.
This was a good buy but after I bought it I noticed that B&Q had a very similar unit for sale which was much cheaper. However, it does the job I wanted it for very well and looks smart.

Excellent timer
Cracking bit of kit.
Using it to run a towel rail and love the fact that the battery backup lasts so long unlike my last one which kept losing its program during power cuts.
Display is also very easy to read and the boost function is also useful Read full review
