Price
For the price, this is a great deal.
I paid an electrical $125 to install it.

After getting in touch with the company they immediately shipped a replacement for the faulty one.
So i order this switch overnight(arrived ) at 5am.

The box it came with is plastic.
So i'm packing for vacation 10pm at night realize my pool pump is still running .

Luckily i found the dewenwils version on amazon which is exactly the same, but has much better directions.
Overall, the suraielec wifi pool timer is a reliable and efficient controller for pool pumps and other powerful electrical appliances.
