Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Both units arrived in working order. I hooked these up and followed the instructions on the included instruction sheet. However, it's missing some vital information that almost made me pull out my hair. In the included instruction sheet, it mentions setting the timer to "AUTO". It doesn't actually have a standalone "AUTO" mode. It has ON, AUTO ON, AUTO OFF, OFF. Here's what I learned doing my research: ON - Ignore pre-programmed settings and turn appliance ON. OFF - Ignore pre-programmed settings and turn appliance OFF and stay OFF. AUTO ON - Turn appliance ON now and remain ON until the next pre-programmed OFF setting time arrives. AUTO OFF - Turn appliance OFF and remain OFF until the next pre-programmed setting arrives. "AUTO OFF" is ultimately the feature you want to keep this on, if you're like me. I don't really need to override the settings and want my appliance to turn ON and OFF at my pre-programmed times. I tested this by changing the pre-programmed times within a minute or two of the current clock time. You should always test your timer by going to the ON setting to make sure the appliance turns on, then go to the AUTO OFF setting and leave it alone. 2 stars because I paid more than I would like if i'm going to have to research information that's missing from the manual. I do like that the batteries appear to recharge by itself.
