binnea01: It does one thing and does it well. There are no settings, you push the button and get 30 min of power.

Connie McGuire: So my mom was falling asleep with the blow dryer running!!! This is the perfect solution!!!! Hair dryer plugs into this timer which plugs into the receptacle, power strip, etc and you just push the timer button and it automatically shuts off after 30 minutes!! Yayyy

Nicole M: This is so easy to use! If you have anxiety like me and fear your hair straightener (or anything else for that matter): this is for you. I suffered with anxiety about “is my hair straightener actually off??” for over a decade when I could have just had this instead. Don’t suffer like me. Buy this.

Beach Campguy: I bought one of these several years ago to use on a nearly daily basis for a floor fan that airs out the shower stall. It worked great until last week. When I pressed the button, it made a rapid clicking noise and would not turn on.
Disclaimer: Unless you REALLY know what you're doing (and assume all risks), ignore the rest of this review.
Being a retired engineer, I played a hunch and guessed that an electrolytic cap had failed. I opened the unit up and replaced the 47uf 50V timing cap. The old one was open. Now it's working again.
Others have noted the warm case and constant power drain. This is due to transformerless low voltage power supply circuit that feeds the nominal 5V to the 555(?) based trigger circuit. There is a 1W power resistor/zener diode regulator that has to drop the rectified 120V down to 5V. Maybe in the future a newer model will have some passive vent slots so that the caps are not getting baked in the case.

chris jalkotzy: Works perfectly for our 100 year old mother, now the hot plate turns off automatically and because we set hot plate at a fixed temperature she can't burn the place down

Stephen: I use it with my radiant heater on my deck that way nobody leaves it on so I can head The great outdoors. Works really well

Sheila R Gibson: This works well and as advertised. The only thing I notice is that the plugs from the appliances fit tighter to the Safety Outlet than the plug from the outlet to the wall plug and when removing the appliance plug, the safety outlet always cames out of the wall plug.

Bee: I purchased my mom a Capresso Electric percolator but it does not have an auto shut off. It does make great coffee! I searched and found this very easy to use plug for a senior! We plug this in and hit the button and the coffee pot is turned off in 30 minutes. It’s a life saver as the pot had been left on for hours on a few occasions. Easy to use! Effective!

B. T. Surette: We've forgotten to unplug / turn off an indoor grill a couple of times. Yikes. Added this to prevent that. The 30 minute timer is plenty for nearly all cooking tasks so works great.
