Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Originally purchased in October. Seemed perfect. Stopped working in December. Restarted it, and it worked for a few more days, then seemingly dead. Tried again to charge and set it this week. No go. Threw it in trash. Started researching other outdoor digital timers that are reasonably priced. None had the features of this one that I need. While reading about a different timer, their info said "any problems, hit the reset button". AHA!!!!! Even though there is a reset button on this unit, it is only mentioned in the instructions for initial setting. No troubleshooting section in instructions. I should have thought about it, but my brain is already overloaded with other stuff. Retrieved from clean trash (thank goodness.. still empty except for the timer). Charged it again (5-10 min), hit reset button. Reprogrammed everything... BTW, programming is pretty easy. The unit is working again....for the past few hours. If it stays on track, I may upgrade my rating. If it fails again.....downgrade. UPDATE: One week later, and still working perfectly. Hoping this continues. Will update if not. One more star....... UPDATE: 2 months later and still ticking along merrily. Update: 5 months later... still chugging along... Still works great a year later. Back to 5 stars. August 2016, almost 3 years later: Unit started acting funny.. it got wet while the house was being prepped for painting with power-washing (wish I or the painters had thought to move it) and it started shorting out the socket it was plugged in. (This same socket has had other problems with power tools plugged into it)... so... I stopped using it, fired up the new one I was holding in reserve, and so far so good. Between the wonky socket and the pressure washing, I am not too upset the first unit finally failed. Frankly, I may try it in another socket to check and see if it works.
