Customer Review: Poor use of money and plastic Better Choices Available

This product is no different than a regular 24 hour timer. In fact it is substandard and here is why.



This timer has 7 days around the perimeter.



But every few hours the timer turns on and then turns off after 3 hours. This is repeated EXACTLY every day.



So it's really no different than a 24 hour timer. Except that you can NOT set

the on and off times. They are preset.



I really am unhappy with Timex that they would foist a very

crippled timer on their customers.



Let me explain further if you don't happen to understand.



If you had a standard 24 hour timer you could set it to come on and go off at the

times that you preset. And then around and around it would go one time per day.

Turning on and off as you had preset it.



This product would go around only one time in 7 days. However it is pre programmed.

And that means that Timex has decided when it will go on and off. And to make it

worse. They have decided that at 6am every day it will go on for 3 hours and then

go off. Then at 6pm it goes on for 6 hours then goes off at midnight.



It can not be used for any intelligent programming because it's not settable. AND

a smart burgler who watched the house for more than one day would realize that

the light went on at the same time every day. Even though it's a 7 day timer!



Very substandard and a foolish purchase. I'm not happy.
