Just OK:
It's a good way to turn off your hose after you leave with this device.
But turning your hose on is a different thing altogether. Maybe I should've read the description a little better. But if all you want is to turn your hose off on a timer, then this product is for you.
Not automatic:
I purchased this, what I thought was, an automataic timer.
Well, it is automatic in that you can set the time for the sprinkler to run for up to 2 hours. It needed a HUMAN to turn the faucet on; thus, to set something to run daily while one was out of town, this was not the product! Difficult for me to operate. Would be good for someone who needs to run water to shrubs for an hour and it automatically shuts off. Not good if you plan for water to run daily at same time every day!
So far, so good:
This does what it says it does, and was reasonably priced. So far it seems to work fine. I put the water on and set this to run for an hour, but I still come back sometime later and turn the water off. I don't water everyday, and I didn't need something with fancy programming; just a protection from my own forgetfulness.
Best mechanical timer I've ever seen:
I've used others and they always break. I live in a city with high line pressures (80-120psi). This timer appears to be more solidly built than any of the others. Also has a 6 year warranty. It's probably not worth the hassle of actually taking the company up on the warranty given the low cost of the item, but it does indicate that they believe in the durability of the product. I'll update the review as time progresses.
