Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - op inst not easy to understand

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Almost...
This timer has all the right features and isn't much harder to program than any other similiar timer I have experienced. However as appears is the case for other reviewers it does not seem to "stand the test of time." Get it? :) I have gone through two of these only to have both of them partially or completely go out over a fairly short period of time. The display seems to just start to fade away into nothingness and it's hard enough to program much less blindly program.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Long Lasting DT17

Two, the battery backup worked great. Power goes out and one thing you didn't have to worry about when resetting the thousand clocks in your ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DOA - I'm Returning It!
I ordered this in hopes it would be more reliable than units available in hardware stores. When I got it, I tried to program it. I followed directions, but could not get the unit to work AT ALL. Don't waste your money.
