well thought out, great customer service!:
Over the last year and a half this timer had to have 2 parts replaced. Customer service was outstanding and sent me the needed parts free of charge--and you get to speak to a friendly and knowledgeable person in the USA. Timer is excellent, design is much better than any of my previous timers, and relatively easy to program. I also like that you can take it off of it's attachment to program it. It has programing instructions printed on the box.
Orbit 62001 Watering Timer:
I've used an Orbit 62001 Watering Timer for 6 years without a problem. It is easy to set the autotimer or manual timer and it hasn't been harmed by rain. It is under my deck so it receives no direct sunlight. I also protect it from freezing. The only problem is that the low battery indicator does not go on before the batteries are too weak to operate the valve. I have had many other brands that did not last more than 2 years. I just bought a second unit and it works perfectly too.
Lasted 19 years:
I am buying another today. The last one lasted 19 years. By far the best unit of its kind on the market.
Good Product:
Wind it up and let it go...this timer is great for making sure plants and flowers are watered on time. Just remember to check the battery level every so often. I haven't found a problem with battery life being short, I just tend to forget to check it until watering stops. Good buy.
