Lifesaver!
I'm busy. I can be a bit of a space case. And now that's ok!I have a large garden and yard. It's a lot to make sure everything gets water. This has made my life soooo much easier. The timer is super easy to set - and it's reliable! So I set it for the garden to water daily at 4 a.m. for 30 minutes. We've gone on vacation for a week at a time and never had an issue.We are on well water and it's not the greatest. The life span of these has been about two years (2 summers). I think that's totally acceptable.The value of this product is great given it's cost and the time and effort it saves.

ORBIT - SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT
EDIT: 07/06/2020 Well, the 3rd 3 outlet Orbit Timer bit the dust this morning. Or rather, I noticed it for the first time. I'm not sure how long the water has been running on station 3. It was just continuous. There was a small pond among the trees we were trying to water towards the road. The brush hide the constant flow. I can't tell you how disgusted I am with these timers. When will ORBIT step up to the plate and realize they're manufacturing a defective product?? END OF EDIT.These timers are easy to attach, easy to program and easy to manually control. We've been using Orbit timers for a few years now. In May of 2015, we bought 2 Orbit 3-outlet timers for the first time, model 56082 from Amazon. We bought another 3-outlet Orbit timer, as well as 2 single outlet Orbit timers locally. Five timers in all: 3 of the 3-outlet times and 2 of the 1-outlet timers. Then in May of 2017, we bought another 3-outlet timer from Amazon to replace one that had stopped working. And in May of 2018, we bought another single outlet timer from Amazon to replace one that had stopped working.It never occurred to us to seek a replacement or refund from Orbit, because they did work for us for awhile, even watering everything on our property while we vacationed. We were impressed. And we were not aware that they had a 6 year warranty.Last year we unhooked all of our perfectly functioning Orbit timers, removed the batteries, cleaned them, and put them in storage, like we always do. This year, we pulled them out, put in new batteries, and attempted to program them for watering. To our consternation, we discovered that none of the 3-outlet timers would program correctly, would not turn off even when we switched them to off and would not respond to manual control. An outlet might work or...it might not. It was just random what these timers would do. They're designed to run one station at a time, but the first one wouldn't turn off, but the second one would begin, so that 2 outlets were running at the same time on the same timer and they would not shut off unless we turned the water off. And one of the single timers did that same thing [not responding to the programming].Now we couldn't trust any of them to do our watering and/or function correctly. We have a water well and the possibility of these things coming on and staying on while we're on vacation or otherwise gone for a few days runs the risk of flooding our watering areas and/or ruining our very expensive water well.So, we decided to buy all new Orbit timers to replace all of the non-working ones. On June 22, 2020, we ordered from Amazon 3 brand-spanking new 3-port timers, model 56082, as well as 2 brand-spanking new single port timers, model 62061Z to the tune of $290. Five brand-new timers in all. They arrived on the 25th and 26th of June, 2020. On the 27th, we put new batteries in, programmed them, attached them to the water faucets, connected the water hoses to each outlet and thought we were good to go.The next morning, on the 28th, imagine our surprise to wake up and see 2 of the brand-spanking new 3-port timers had not shut off and would not respond to turning the timers off. We had to shut the water faucets off. The other 3-port timer looked like it hadn't watered from outlet 2, so we tried doing it manually, but it wouldn't respond to a manual command. We always water in the wee hours of the morning before the sun comes up. The watering is always finished before daylight. Anyway...So, we took the timers off the faucets, took the battery packs out, allowed the memory to clear, reinstalled the batteries, reprogrammed them and reinstalled them. We ran tests through all the cycles, setting each outlet at 2 minute intervals. They worked. Then we cycled through all outlets to see if they would respond to manual control and all seemed well, giving us hope that they were going to function correctly.The following morning, the 29th, we woke to the same problem on 2 of the 3-outlet timers. Not one to give up easily, I ran them [my husband had already given up] through multiple tests, removing and reinserting the batteries, reprogramming and testing ad nauseam. Finally, I gave up too and decided to send these two 3-outlet timers back. UPS is scheduled to pick them up today, the 30th of June, 2020.These were brand-new and defective right out of the box. We are so disappointed in the compromised quality of these Orbit timers. At the first inkling that these things were defection, we should have re-boxed them all and sent them all back immediately. As of now, we're returning 2 of the 3-outlet timers. And we're going to be vigilantly aware of the performance of the ones we're keeping. If there's even a hint that one functions incorrectly, it's going back immediately.What has happened to the integrity of companies that are mass producing defective products? It's just all about the bottom line -- $$$. And there are probably multitudes of buyers unaware of Orbits 6 year warranty and just end ups trashing them. Should not companies be accountable for their defective products? I think so.We weren't aware that these timers have a 6 year warranty or exactly what that warranty covered. Perhaps companies like Orbit count on the ignorance of its customers. Orbit needs to be on top of all these negative comments. Now we're hesitant to order replacements and we do not, as of right now, recommend them to anyone.

Easy to set up and use right out of the box
I have used many of these timers on my property. They work very well, and the battery life is pretty good. I tend to replace the batteries once a year whether they need it or not. The only downside is that of the 12 timers I have owned, three of them have failed after between 4 and 6 years. All three failed in the same way, not turning off the water. Being a reliability engineer, I couldn't help myself. I had to take them apart to see what went wrong. All three had a worn-out intake diaphragm in the solenoid assembly. Unfortunately, unlike the regular automatic sprinkler valves, these timer valves do not have replacement parts. The good news is the customer service is excellent. I contacted Orbit via chat on their website and after explaining my problem, and with just a picture of the unit, I was able to get a warranty replacement free of charge. Even though I didn't have proof of purchase date. Turns out, according to the person on the chat, the warranty is 6 years. I'm a happy customer.

No phone app required
So simple to use I wish I had found this product sooner. I set it up to water my very small vegetable garden as I have no one to do this for me when I am away. I am so glad that it doesn't need an app or some other connection, and it is so easy to use. The function to bypass the program and use the hose is also easy to figure out. It works perfectly and I plan to purchase a dual outlet one. I highly recommend this product.

Irrigação por gotejamento
The media could not be loaded. Os dois aparelhos funcionam perfeitamente. Fazem a irrigação das minhas orquídeas por gotejamento, a cada dois a três dias.

Timer for watering lawns and gardens
The timer is easy to set up and works very well. When the timer is set and hoes are in place don’t forget to turn the water tap on.

Muy buen artículo
Excelente artículo, un poco de trabajo programarlo, hace falta instrucciones en español. Pero es intuitivo para programarlo. Cumple con su función pero hay que tener cuidado al conectarlo a la llave para que no tenga fugas.
