Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Most circuits i wire that need timers are 20-amp circuits, and because of that the timers i use are rated for 20 amps. Results are satisfactory. Easy to operate. The color matches my other receptacles.

This timer has capacitive * which will be easier to keep clean as there is a seamless face and no crevices that can get dirty. It works smoothly, and when you click a setting option, it clearly indicates your selection with a small light.

The timer comes with everything you need to install it. It includes the screws and wire nuts for the installation and fits well in a standard electrical box. If you are installing new or replacing a standard toggle switch, i think the instructions are...  Read More

The timer switch comes with a exceptionally good wall plate that is truly screwless. This wall plate is oversized, so there is about 1/2 inch overlap. It is sized correctly with screw pass throughs if you want to use a standard wall plate also.

Quality


This timer switch is of very good quality in build.


This is a very nice quality switch, with buttons that allow you to choose from a short 5 minutes all the way up to 4 hours.


Our previous exhaust fan timer was a bit old school and quite honestly, annoying to use, as it had a twist dial to set the "app...  Read More


Now, the touch-sensitive buttons are very sensitive; seems you barely make contact and it's already running.

Price


This is a nice unit at a great price (again half of the expensive brands).


You never know what you might end up installing, so even though it might cost a little more, it gives you future flexibility, s...  Read More


Way cheaper than ripping a wall open later or trying to fish a wire through and patching drywall, and then repainting.


Disclaimer: i write completely honest reviews from actual use of the products, with pertinent information that i desire from re...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


I was fortunate that my surface-mount box had a standard in-wall box behind it, giving lots of working room.


This looks very nice from taking it out of the box and checking it out.


Fortunately for me, i am using an weatherproof external box, so it was easy to change to a larger one, but if you are installin...  Read More

Competitiveness


Another difference with this timer and the leviton is the mechanical action of the leviton vs this being a touch-pressure button.


If you want more than one switch/timer then you will need something more like the levitons mentioned.


The biggest difference with this timer as compared to others i've had is that the buttons on this bn-link timer are touch-sensi...  Read More

    The buttons are not real buttons but rather touch activated

    It requires a neutral wire so if your house is older make sure you have that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Our previous exhaust fan timer was a bit old school and quite honestly annoying to use as it had a twist dial to set the 34approximate34 amount of time marked on it and it made a dated sort of vibrating like buzzing sound as it slowly counted itself back to zero point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you only need it on for 10 minutes or so to evacuate some unpleasant odors then choose the 5 or 10 minute setting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you want to clear any setting just push the onoff button once


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In theory it should have been easy to install but keep in mind our new place is an older build so it took a bit of trial and error to get it right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The plate around the switch appears a tad curved since the top doesn’t seem to sit perfectly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Nothing is more annoying than lying down for sleep and hearing the annoying hum of the exhaust fan you forgot to turn off 20 minutes ago when you got out of the shower
