Great Timer, Great Price, better than any found at National Home Improvement stores [Posted on 2007-06-25]
I have been searching for a timer for a year that actually uses a clock and date (as opposed to saying to water every 6 hours, etc). I use this on both my drip irrigation system and my sprinkler. It allows for timing as little as 1 minute, with up to 4 starts per day.

Easy set up on hose bib, EASY to program, probably the easiest timer I've ever used.

You won't be disappointed.

Excellent quality  [Posted on 2007-08-12]
This timer is the best I've bought so far, and I've had to return 2 Raindrip timers this summer. This is easy to program and, just as important, easy to read, even in bright sunlight. What would make this timer superb would be a function allowing programming of intervals, such as every two days or every three days. It only has the ability for you to program in specific days.

Excellent product that WORKS as advertised [Posted on 2008-04-30]
This unit is truly a programmable timer as described. It has been working 2-3 times a day for over a year now. Very easy to install. No leaks, functions flawlessly. If necessary, manual shutoff at the touch of a button is accessible without losing programmed information. Highly recommneded.

I purchased a RAINDRIP "timer" before this unit. Nothing but problems. It appears that Amazon is no longer listing the unit.

short-lived [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I've purchased numerous of these timers. They performed very well for one full season. This season, however, most (but not all) of them are either completely dead or the LCD display is malfunctioning or not responding to button pushes (yes, this is with fresh batteries installed). Speaking of batteries... the battery compartment lacks a proper seal to keep moisture out, which is a glaring oversight by the manufacturer. The angle of the design can be a bit awkward depending on the angle of the hose bib to which you connect the timer -- and can also create more vulnerability for the seal-less battery compartment should a connection leak. The ability to adjust the angle and a sealed compartment would be great improvements. And, of course, these little timers are way too expensive to last only one season.

Time all your watering needs [Posted on 2008-06-30]
This hose timer is the best that I've used. It is very easy and intuitive to program and has fewer connections than some, eliminating possible leaks. Also, it has dedicated buttons for opening the value to water manually, and an especially handy rain delay button that allows you to turn off the watering during a rainy period, without having to reprogram. The only caveat--you can water several times a day if you like, but the length of time the valve will stay open can only be set once, and will be the same every time you water or for your manual watering.
