Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania SA140 15 Amp Zip Set Digital Lamp and Appliance Timer
Customer Review: If you're looking for multiple timer functions in a 24hr period - this isn't the timer for you
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased this timer to turn on lights in the early morning and at sunset in our home. After purchasing and subsequently receiving this timer, I discovered this timer can't be programed to operate more than one program daily.
I tried to contact the distributor, but soon found that their customer service hours were 8a-4pm EST. Inconvenient to say the least.
When I received a follow-up email about the timer purchase, I asked how to return the timer. I never received a response. My telephone inquires haven't been answered. I'm sure a negative review draw some interest.
Save yourself the trouble, and buy any other timer but this one if you want to perform more than one function daily. The sunset option, set to your area cose, not zip code as the name leads you to believe, works great. Its an expensive timer for only one daily function.
Customer Review: Flexible Programming???
Summary: 2 Stars
This unit is very easy to set up with the area code based timing and has the ability to program 4 more individual on/off settings. BUT, I can only run one program at a time - in other words, I can't get it to automatically turn the lamp on just before I get up in the morning, off after I go to work, on just before I get home and back off after I go to sleep. Digital is nice, but setting up multiple on/off times were pretty easy on the old analog timers. Not sure why it's such a challenge this new 'advanced' unit. Also, the Zip Setting only turns things on at sunset. There is no flexibility to use it to turn something off at sunrise or to turn something on 1 hour before sunset.
Bottom Line - There should be more functionality for the price.
Customer Review: 24 hour indoor timer
Summary: 2 Stars
I followed directions for set up which are not that clear. I got it to work after talking with the dealer, after about 3 left messages. When I talked to him before I bought it, he said the item was made in the USA! Well, it isn't! I have had it about a month now & it has only come on twice. I haven't had time to see if I have a LEMON or what the problem is. If I were buying now, I would wait & check out many more on line then I did. This one sounded to good to be true & it is. I had a Timex for years before it recently gave out & it only took a minute to set it & it always worked.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of using a nondigital timer and never knowing exactly when it was going on or off, I purchased this one. It goes on and off precisely at the time it was set. I had a small problem programming it the first time, but that wasn't the timer's fault, more the programmer's. Read the instructions, and you'll have no problem. I like the fact that it can be programmed for different times of the day, although, admittedly, I only have it go on and off at one time each day. The daylight savings time feature it also nice.Customer Review: Only one program active at a time...
Summary: 1 Stars
While you can program a "sunset" on program and four other programs, you can only have one program active at a time.
This makes the timer worthless.
Had I known this, I would NOT have purchased it. Amazon's documentation failed to make this point clear.
