These work and seem to be good quality.


Great simple timer for basic on-off function, easy to use and set.


I bought this product back in 2020 and am reordering a new one because the dial feature recently stopped working.


My husband didn't want an electronic timer to avoid more parts that could fail easily or not work in a power outage.

Price


Convenient 3-pack by a well-known maker at a great price.


1 less thing to deal with on a daily basis.


Would have to otherwise pay the same price at lowe’s for one.

Shipping


It took me a minute to get the time of day for the lights to come in but now i’m good to go

I bought 3 of these in 2021 and an additional one in 2023 to replace a broken timer made by a different company.
