Tools and Hardware Reviews of Woods 59377 Digital 7-Day Lamp/Appliance Timer with 2 Outlets, Up to 8 On/Off Settings per day and Battery Back Up
Customer Review: Only one star due to poor QC
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm just going to say when I got this item I had to plug it in for a while before the screen would even come on (which was half numbers, and un-readable letters), and like another poster, I had to take it apart to get it to work correctly. I can only give it one star because of this, and seing as I've only had it on for about 12 hours I don't know how well it will work in the long run. Some less mechanically inclined people might not know how to take apart the unit (making it virtually useless), and ruin it (which they should never have to do in the first place...Customer Review: On-Off Function is Erratic
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this unit for over 3 months now. I consider myself reasonably capable of setting up automated devices such as this one, and the instructions seem to be well written and clear. However I have not been able to get the unit to turn lamps on and off according to the program. The lights stay on most of the time, but seem to turn off and on randomly. I've set it aside three times and come back to it later, re-read the instructions, and tried again to program it and get it to work. No luck. I cannot recommend this product at all.Customer Review: Fantastic Timer for a Low Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these digital timers to replace a couple of old mechanical timers. I did not like having every day be the same schedule. I wanted the pond waterfall on more during the weekends then during the week. This digital timer made it easy to do, and since it has two outlets, it can handle a pond pump and a UV filter. The programing was very easy and since it has battery backup, your settings will not go away during a power outage.
I just ordered two more so I can replace another pair of old mechanical timers.
Customer Review: Worked pretty good at first...
Summary: 2 Stars
Despite some of the negative reviews on Amazon, I took a chance and ordered this a few weeks ago. I used it to turn my espresso machine on ~30 minutes before waking up. It worked nice for 3 weeks, today it stopped working. All the LCD lights are stuck on.
I should mention that there was loose parts rattling around in it since I opened it new. After it stopped working today, I opened the thing up today to see what it was, there was 2-3 loose rubber parts that fell right out. Also some black powder residue was inside it.
Customer Review: Simple and Sophistacated
Summary: 5 Stars
This timer was a bargain, a great value, and very easy to use with the power of digital programming. It has two socket outputs so you can plug in two devices at once, but they go on an off at the same time, they are not for individually programming. I have other digital timers and I like this one becuase of the large button size and easy to read display. The setup and programming is so easy to use and no need to read any instructions. Much better than any mechanical timer and a really well-priced item. I love and would buy again.
