Pros & Cons
Pros
Don't even have to read instructions, very self explanatory. Easy to program and has a few nice features such as rain delay and manual mode with timer. Only negative is that the lcd screen is difficult to read in some light situations.
This is what i have been needing so badly! Bought the timer. Really a great little device.
Gideon timer has two outlets. Works for front yard till sprinkler system is installed. Eco setting allows water to flow for a specified amount of time, shuts off for a few minute so the water can soak in and not just puddle.
This water valve timer does almost every everything. Absolutely has no leakage and does its job as intended. No worries and no leaks.
Cons
With the timer installed, sprinkler sprays only about 2m. Manufacturer doesn't take care of what the description says erroneously. Save yourself the hassle and extra cost and get a better one.
It only works at 7am. Like other reviewers have mentioned, there is no way to set a manual watering without also running the schedule.

It even has an eco setting which allows you to intermittently water which allows the water to flow for a specified amount of time shuts off for a few minute so the water can soak in and not just puddle and then repeats

Would rather have a failsafe setup

Only suggested improvement would be to be able to set if with an app on a smart phone for example to skip a watering on a rainy day without have to go out in the rain
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However it does not have the option to stop watering after a certain time each day so it continues watering at regular intervals throughout the night
