Niknak Pattywack - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
These aren’t the greatest, for sure. I should’ve paid closer attention to the reviews. They don’t keep time correctly therefore you never know exactly when the power might kick on or off. I bought 3 of them & if i had kept my packaging, I would return them! I have one that never wants to come in at all unless I manually force it. I’m just using these for my Christmas lights decor. So I can tolerate it. If you’re looking for a long term use, I’d suggest finding different ones other than these. They’re about as good as their cheap price point… meaning… You get what you pay for… don’t waste your money.

I like that you can program the timer to turn on multiple times during the day. For example the tree is on in the morning and then turns on again in the afternoon.

countrywayhome - 2 years ago
These were hit and miss when I used to use them around the house on my lamps while gone on vacation. They did make an annoying ticking noise and they didn’t always work. Sometimes the lights would turn on and sometimes they wouldn’t…not really sure why that happened. I just ended up switching to using bluetooth bulbs connected to my Alexa.

Works Just Fine For My Use

Les - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
Works just fine for me. I have two sets of lights plugged in, operating between around 6pm to about 11pm. Instructions are clear, but did take me a while to nail down timing since you can't be exact. Notches are accurate to about 10 min. unless you try to time plugging it in exactly at 30 or top of the hour.

I’ve bought three of these. They work, but they make an audible noise from the mechanism moving inside the timer. I thought it was just a faulty one last year and exchanged it, but after a few days the new one started doing the same thing.

I purchased multiple timers from different Target locations and all turned out to be “duds” which became very frustrating. Right out of the package, brand new, these did not keep time properly. Would recommend purchasing different brand.

These are awful. Returning. So hard to set up and the buttons don’t work
1 reply from Tech Support team - 4 years ago
Hello Valued Customer, thank you for your review. We apologize that our product did not meet and exceed your expectations. We always value customer feedback and ways to help improve future experiences with our products. One common mistake that consumers make is that they try to push the buttons down when they are already pushed down. The buttons come pressed down out of the package, so the first thing you need to do is pull them all up, then you can begin pressing the buttons down for the time periods you want the lights to be on. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call between the hours of 7 AM – 8 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483, press option 4, and provide our Consumer Care Team with your personal ticket number 583935. Thank you and have a great day!

The numbered pop up’s are not user friendly. I feel the red and green on and off tabs on other timers is a better option.
