Gregory S.: I have had at least 4 of this same model for outdoor landscape lights and they have worked well. This one however was dead on arrival. The display did not light. I replaced the battery with a fresh one per the instructions and the display still not not light. As a last check I plugged it in and still no display. I returned it to Amazon.

Steve: Works great for my pool pump motor. A bit tricky to get set properly, but once I took the time to read all the directions - no problem. I like this model better than the last as no more rotary dial and also takes AA batteries vs. the small button batteries.

B-Man: This is an excellent outdoor timer. I used the previous version of this timer (HB800R) for many years until it failed this fall. I'm not sure why so many people think it is so hard to program. The steps are clearly spelled out in the instructions and are laid out in logical order. This is the only reasonably priced outdoor timer I've found that you set to have on/off events set to sunrise/sunset and the timer will self adjust. I mainly use the timer for our outdoor Halloween and Christmas lights and have it set to come on a dusk and then turn off at midnight. I set it at the beginning of the season and forget about it. Works great! I love that they now use just an ordinary AA battery as the backup battery instead of two button batteries in a clumsy battery holder as in the previous version (which was also the cause of my old timer failing). The reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because I wish there were a dedicated On/Off button. You can manually turn things on and off but you have to step through a menu. There should just be a simple On/Off button. All in all it's a great timer though.

Jan A.: This took a while to really figure out to make work for my unique set up, but now that I understand it, it works well. I have it running the motor on my auto chicken door (motor d20) and it works every time adjusting to the astronomical time, just like the birds. I wasn't clear initially on how to adjust the time each day based on the sunrise and sunset because to be safe (and to not lock my birds in/out of the house) I need it to open and close before and after these times by about 30 minutes. Their biological clock isn't as precise and not EXACTLY as our recorded sunrise for instance. So now I know you don't have to enter the truthful sunrise/sunset, you can enter a time you want for it to do what you. Then it adjusts from there.

Alex: I bought this to run my Christmas lights this year due to my outdoor mechanical timer no longer working. I bought this because it looked the most robust for the money and had dual grounded outlets. There have been no issues for the 3 weeks it has been running and we have had several days of rain. I am probably only running about 2 amps through it, but I would feel comfortable operating it within its limits.

As some users have mentioned, programming is not as intuitive as other units (I have an indoor digital timer from another company that is very intuitive), but the included directions were easy enough to figure it out. One user review has even better directions on Amazon. There are plenty of options to select from and I like that it can have dusk and dawn times update based on location.

I also like that you can easily mount this to a wall or fence with two screws or nails. The one negative is that it did not include mounting screws. Overall I would recommend this if you need a solid outdoor timer.
