Customer Reviews:

A total piece of junk! [Posted on 2008-04-22]
It used to be that the name Nelson pretty much guaranteed quality. No longer. I purchased this item from Walmart and then was dumb enough to throw away the receipt.
Problems:

1- The display is extremely difficult to read in the shade OR direct sunlight. Small thin alphanumeric characters. Very poor design.

2- The timer bypass valve to the hose delivered about 25% of the volume necessary for proper hose function. Very poor design!

3- Lastly, the timer programming simply didn't work! Programming is second nature to me - I built my own commercial radio station (engineering). That wasn't the problem.

Between design flaws and non-functioning, this item gets an F grade. Even if it DID work, the design is terrible.

Terrible... [Posted on 2008-06-10]
I totally agree with Steve --- impossible to read and virtually impossible to program, no matter how good one is at programming --- not just a waste of money; a major pain on a 95 degree day when one has to remember to turn it off and on manually.
