timer dead in <90 days by PapaKlix

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/1/2009 from Massachusetts

Comments: fairly easy to set up but the timer function on mine just stopped in about 65 days worth of use. when i turn the dial, i can hear the click that it's supposed to be turning the yellow ones on and the blue ones off, but there is no change. i now just have a relatively expensive power strip where only 6 outlets work. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I don't know by CARY NICHOLS

Comments: I needed a timer for my new light. I read very little about this power strip, just saw the Day-Night timmer on the picture of it, and ordered it. I don't think this is really what I wanted. The plug are to close together, and I just don't understand the sittings. The directions to use it are printed on back of the box and there isn't much to read there, I would look more into this before you bought it, but then again it may be the one best out there. I just don't like the instructions, may have to get one of the kids to set if for me I would not recommend this product to my friends.

No Good by Alex A.

Posted on 1/12/2009 from NEW YORK, NY UNITED STATES

Comments: This product left a lot to be desired over. After 4 months operation it would no longer work as reqiured (most likely due to saltwater getting in teh dial) Spend the extra money and go with a digital that has rubber buttons. My digital has now outlasted and out perfomred the zilla hand down! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Outlets too close... by SL

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/9/2008 from DECATUR, GA UNITED STATES

Comments: Good simple timer. Only drawback is the spacing between the outlets is too close. You cannot plug a both a DC converter (ie for fans or LEDs) and a regular plug in adjacent outlets- this limits you to one outlet only on each timed circuit if you use one of these. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

don't waste your money by ERIKA

Comments: I acquired this timer from someone else who broke down their tank. I have a masters degree and this thing gave me a headache. For the price it is you should be able to control day and night seperate from each other but it is impossible to run both day and night lights at overlapping intervals! This thing is a pain. The only reason I have it is it was a package deal! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Close but no cigar by PAUL LUTH

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 8/1/2007 from TAMPA, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: If you are getting this to control lighting on a reef tank that has white and blue night lighting plus day lighting, beaware that there is no way to set the cycles for a total dark period (if that matters), or to control the individual day/night outlets. E.g., if you wanted to have white LED's & blue LED's on different cycles you can't do this. Also, if your LED's have a transformer type plug, the distance between the outlets is not wide enough to accomidate two transformer plugs. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Coralife Timer by CHERYL IPIOTIS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/5/2007 from OYSTER BAY, NY UNITED STATES

Comments: the product idea and concept are great but the dependability is terrible, if this timer gets one drop of water on it it's over , I have a 155 tank and quite a few years of experience....this will be the third time I've had to replace this timer, either drop the price or make a better product! I have moved on to cheaper separate timers. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Bad Timers by JOSE

Comments: I'm on the 2nd replacement Power Center. The first one didn't work at all. The timer didn't keep time. The replacement loses 30 minutes every 24 hours. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

plugs are too close together by g

Comments: The 8 plugs are all way too close together. If you have anything with a transformer, it will block AT LEAST one other plug. i.e. can't fit two Coralife moonlight LEDs onto the 2 night settings. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Just Doesn't work by Matt

Comments: I am also on my second one in 3 months. They both stop working. The timers keep time but when its time for the lights to go off they don't, it stops triggering the lights to go on/off. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
