Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania SA130 15 Amp Digital Lamp Timer

Customer Review: Impossible to set up and use
Summary: 1 Stars

Bought two of these timers thinking that they might be easier to use than the ones with levers. They are not -- we have yet to be able to get one to work properly. I am computer literate (have been using them since 1986) and my husband is a retired general contractor who could build houses, swimming pools, buildings, etc. This timer has brought us nothing but trouble. If you are a programming genius, perhaps it will work for you!

Customer Review: SA130 Lamp Timer
Summary: 3 Stars

The Sylvania SA130 15 Amp Digital Lamp Timer only worked for a day then it stopped displaying and I could not reprogram it. I called Amazon to get help and spoke to Benjamin who told me he would send a replacement timer and email me a return label for the faulty timer. I sent the faulty timer back and I recieved a new replacement timer from Amazon; the replacement timer has been working ok so far(19 days).

Customer Review: Good while it lasted
Summary: 1 Stars

This timer worked well enough, but not long enough...only three months. There seems to be a radical planned obsolescence in digital timers that dictates these things don't last more than a year at most. With all the incredible technology we have these days it's baffling there aren't well-built, durable digital timers on the market. Maybe they're out there somewhere...anyway, this isn't one of them.

Customer Review: Parts missing
Summary: 2 Stars

Don't rely on getting batteries with your timer(s). I ordered 3, but only 2 came with the promised batteries. Also, the lifetime warrenty isn't worth much -- you'll pay as much in postage each way to cover the cost of a new unit. This is definitely a case where buying local would have been better -- I could have taken a timer back to a real store for replacement by a timer with batteries.

Customer Review: accurate with 1 problem
Summary: 4 Stars

This timer is accurate and easy to use unlike other timers I have used. There is a problem though this timer was made to handle up to 1800 watts but you can only use a 2 prong plug in. So if you have a three prong plug in you can't use it, or you have to by an extension cord to plug in to the timer and the plug your appliance into the extension cord.
