Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased both the Gilmour and Orbit Single Outlet hose timers. Both timers are incredibly similar to set up. The Gilmour (as explained in more detail below) has better digital features however it has one awful flaw; the water pressure out of the timer is incredibly low. The Orbit Single Outlet Programmable Hose Faucet Timer (also available on Amazon) delivers, in my estimation, about 3-4 times as many gallons per minute. First the Good: 1) timer has a battery indicator on the screen 2) turns water on and off consistently (I have had the orbit timer fail to turn off several times despite having a full battery) 3) has very large easy to read buttons 4) automatically closes the water valve before the battery dies The bad: 1) cheap plastic construction, threads will strip easily. (this applies to the Orbit timer as well) 2) VERY POOR WATER PRESSURE OUTPUT- this is the reason for my low rating. I have connected both the Orbit Single Outlet Programmable Hose Faucet Timer and Gilmour Single Outlet Electronic Water Timer to the same outdoor faucet. The Orbit time can deliver full pressure to 2 hoses simultaneously. The Gilmore timer delivers about 75% water pressure to a single hose, when I connect two hoses to the Gilmore timer they drip slowly. This means the single 4ft by 4ft flower bed running on the Gilmore timer has to be watered for 15 minutes twice a day. The two 4ftx4ft vegetable beds I have running on the Orbit timer receive an almost identical amount of water in 8 mins twice a day. The low water pressure from the Gilmour timer makes it incredibly ineffective in my opinion. I would need two Gilmour timers to deliver the same amount of water as the orbit timer. If you only need to deliver a small amount of water, I would recommend the Gilmore timer as it is more reliable. That being said, I will not purchase this product ever again.
