Very basic but reliable irrigation timer
Not many bells and whistles to this, but if you're just looking for a basic and reliable irrigation timer, this is it. Bonus stars for having a battery compartment that's easy to access (about once a year).
Our original one lasted for 3 years before the timer started acting up. We liked this model so much, we just bought the exact same one to replace.Read full review

Great timer
I finally got to try it out after much rain. I did get to try out the rain delay which worked everytime. The timer went on & off without a hitch. I can't comment on the durability yet as it is fairly new. It was very easy to set up. Make sure your connections are nice & tight & the dial is set to auto. I set this up with my new Orbit sprinkler & am very satisfied.
It sure beats getting up at 6am to turn the sprinkler on. I don't think I would use it when I am away but that's just me. Getting a bit off topic- my advice is to try to locate your hose where you don't have to move it when mowing. Mine is hidden in my flower beds.Read full review

Nice product if it lasts
Original review, see update below it.
I bought one of these irrigation timers as a test and was so pleased I bought four more to water all the zones in my yard. They are very easy to install and program, and have all been keeping accurate 24 hour clock time to within a minute or two. The manual override button is very handy. It defaults to 10 minutes of watering but more minutes can be added by pressing the + plus button. I have no idea how long these timers are supposed to last but they feel solid and sturdy, and I am very impressed with this economical irrigation solution.
Update.
A few weeks later, two of these five timers failed completely, with the valve in the open position. No amount of resetting, reprogramming or brand new batteries could revive them. To be fair they were not brand new, but appeared to be in excellent condition. Disappointing, because I primarily installed them so that watering could take place while I was away, but a failed open valve would flood and kill some of my exotic plants that cannot survive in standing water. So I either have to shut them off when I am away, or ask a neighbor to check once a day and turn off any valve that may fail this way.
Also, I have discovered that pressing the Manual button twice during the same day can cause the valve to stay open, requiring a turn-off and reset. Nevertheless, I am replacing the failed units with the same kind to give them another chance. The other three have worked flawlessly, and this is still a very economical system.Read full review

Most for your money.
Got this to water my garden. It is easy to program, does exactly what it claims it will, and is very accurate. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's all plastic and it's durability is still in question. May last forever but who knows. I would definitely buy this product again and do recommend it to anyone looking for such a device.Read full review

Orbit sprinkler control timer
Great product...have used them at three different houses. Simple to operated,reliable and well designed. Battery life is great (more than one season if removed for winter). Better than much more expensive and complicated units.Read full review

Great product
I have had this timer brand for 5-6 years and they (3) work wonderfully. They are not hard on batteries. They keep good time; and, they do what I want them to do, that is, they irrigate when I want them to. There is no better water timer on the market. You can't go wrong!Read full review

Works great! Saves me time!
This single timer works great and saves me from having to remember to water. It also has a rain delay which is a nice feature. Great value too.

Working fine.
When I tried to set up my automatic soaker hose system a couple weeks ago, I discovered that my timer wasn’t working. New batteries did not seem to “cure” it, so I went online to replace it. This is the same model that I had before which lasted at least six years. This one seems to be working well, but I can’t report on longevity as it’s only been in use a week. Hope it lasts as long as the last one did.Read full review

Orbit Faucet Sprinkler Timer
Great product... Have 7 hooked up, so I can go on vacations without worrying about plants getting watered. One heads up, make sure you drain them completely before storing in a warm place. Solenoid wiring will corrode otherwise.Read full review

Easy controller
If you want water a single line of drippers, I recommend this unit. Easy to hook up and easy to program. This is the second one I own.
