Tools and Hardware Reviews of Amertac TEO5W Decorative Indoor Weekly Digital Timer, WhiteCustomer Review: Best digital timer Summary: 5 Stars
We have a digital timer identical to this one except made by Timex. After a decade, the backup battery lost its ability to hold a charge for more than a minute, so we started looking for a new one. We thought, it's been 10 years, all digital timers these days must have the features we need. We were wrong. All the others we tried were inferior. What makes this one the best:
1) The display faces upward allowing you to easily see and modify settings while the timer is plugged into the wall. This helps a lot if the timer is plugged in behind a table, where it's not easy to see a display that faces forward.
2) The manual override button includes on, off, auto on, and auto off. Having both auto on and auto off lets you turn the timer on and off manually or modify the program times and then easily set the timer into the correct state afterward without having to wait for the program to activate.
3) The random feature is based off of your program times. Another timer we tried had a random feature that activated at completely random times. What use would it be to have a light turn on randomly in the middle of the day in broad daylight and then not turn on at night when it's dark?!
4) It has a daylight savings time feature so you can quickly add or subtract an hour.
This timer has all the features of our old Timex one and more. They've rearranged the button functions and added a countdown timer. You can both increase and decrease settings now (such as hours, minutes, etc.), whereas settings on the Timex only moved in one direction, and you had to loop around to access everything. Some settings need more button presses to access, but all the features from the Timex are still in there.
It might be more complicated than simple digital timers, but the instructions are detailed and clear. If you read carefully, you can figure it out. The features are well worth it.
