Tools and Hardware Reviews of Orbit 62001 Lawn and Garden Digital Watering Timer
Customer Review: Orbit Lawn & Garden Hose Digital Watering Timer And Valve #62001
Summary: 5 Stars
I was trying to avoid having to install an electric powered watering timer and did research on battery powered watering timers. Most of the reviews indicated that this product worked very well. I purchased in June 2008 and the product has held up very well even in 108+ deg days in sunny Arizona. The control module is very easy to remove from the valve unit in order to program, programming is easy and the unit takes two 9V batteries. Great product!! I highly recommend.Customer Review: Well Built
Summary: 5 Stars
The watering timer was used the entire summer 2010 without any problem. Programming is made easier with the detachable programming unit. The fact that the removeable electronics control and the water valve are located in seperate parts of the housing makes this unit superior to others. Water valve turn-on and shut-off is precise. I trusted my small summer garden to this unit while I was away and was never disappointed. It's a good, reliable value for home use.Customer Review: Great device but lasted only a week.

This would be a great timer. It is easy to set. Keeps the settings when you change batteries. Resists water. Allows manual override and lets you remove the timer from the valve to program. The big problem that it shares with most of these timers is lack of reliability. Mine stopped working within a week. The company was very easy to deal with and offered to ship a new one next day but I need a timer now or my plants will die so I will return it to Amazon.Customer Review: great lawn/garden watering timer
Summary: 5 Stars
My lawn and garden were suffering from brutal heat this year and I was tired of spending 20-30 mins per day watering everything at the end of a long day. This timer has many settings allowing you to water automatically or whenever you choose. I use a Y-Connector and have one hose as a soaker hose for a flower bed and potted plants and the other attached to a sprinkler for the lawn. A little complicated to figure out but once it's set, it's forget! ;-)Customer Review: a good value
Summary: 4 Stars
I had one of these for about eight summers until it gave out. I never even noticed or remembered the brand and disposed of the unit. I searched the web and the box stores to find a suitable replacement and came up disappointed and/or empty. Finally saw and recognized this one on Amazon and am as happy with it as I was with the original. The only drawback is that it is a little complicated to program but it works really well and, that's what counts.
