Customer Reviews:

Will last 4 to 6 months [Posted on 2008-09-13]
These timers were installed 5 areas to be used for drip system and soaker hoses. It has been about a year and all timers have been replaced at a minimum of 2 times. We did some landscape work and these timers where covered under the warranty, so I didn't have to keep replacing them. However, now the warranty is over and 2 replaced timers failed couple of weeks ago. I will be buying a different product and replace all the timers to keep avoiding the fustration.

Does not shut off [Posted on 2008-10-02]
Waste of money, just like all Menlor products. I've bought 5 different Menlor/Vigoro timers and all 5 have failed within 2 years. I'm the fool for buying them, but I won't anymore. It's convenient to get them from Home Depot, but I'll never make that mistake again. This particular model failed right out of the package. The on/off switch would not shut off.

BAD TIMER [Posted on 2008-10-07]
I've purchased two of these timers and both retained water and stopped working within two months.

Non-starter [Posted on 2008-10-27]
Tried two of these and neither one would connect without leaking. The second one flooded inside as well. Don't bother.

Waste of money and time [Posted on 2008-11-15]
This product "upgrade" replaces the round model. The previous model at least worked for a year. This model releases water into the inside which of course destroys it. I tried 4 times. There is obviously a need for such a product, but this is not one to purchase. It is easy to program, but what is the use when it breaks so quickly. This product should not be sold!
