No Bueno by CurleyD

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/17/2008

Comments: The timers lagged a little from the start, which I didn't find a big deal. Just a little adjustment every couple weeks. But, after one year of use, one of the timers started to stick...either leaving the lights on or off. Currently, I have to mess with the timer everyday, which means the timer does not work. So, I'm shopping for a new timer set-up. I was going to give Zilla another try, but not after reading all the reviews with my same experience. I cannot recommend this product. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Piece of Garbage by ALAN MOREIRA

Comments: Bought one and timers stopped working. Returned it and got a replacement. That one had the same thing happen. I've heard of others having worse disasters than mine - i.e. fire. I wouldn't sell this thing to my worst enemy. Go to Walmart and buy a couple of cheap digital timers and some power bars. Don't forget the ground fault interrupter - a potential life saver. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Terrible by Unhappy

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 3/4/2008 from NC UNITED STATES

Comments: I have had 2 in 3 months. Both stopped working by leaving the metal halides on - stress to inverts like you wouldn't believe because tank is in an office. This is terrible. I hope my mushroom will recover from the 48 to 72 hours straight under the halides but several nocturnal scavengers were wasting away by refusing to move out of their caves. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Don't Waste Your Money by Reefer

Comments: I've had 3 of these and all of them have had the timers break. One broke in the first week the other 2 lasted a couple of months. The timers themselves are hard to set and not very accurate. I'm very disappointed in this product. No other company makes a similar timer that will let me program dawn to dusk and lunar cycles. So, I've gone back to using 3 separate old-school timers you can get at any hardware store. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

these are JUNK! by rayray

Comments: Settings started wandering the 2nd day; it had a mind of its own & the switches did nothing 1st week. I traded out several times with LFS. The opposite of peace of mind for such an expensive hobby. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Stopped Working in a Week by Me

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/5/2007

Comments: I bought this timer and the actinic timer stopped working in about a week. The timer would not turn the lights off. I unplugged it for about 5 minutes and it seemed to reset the unit for a while but I had the same problem again. I reset it again and it worked for about 4 days and this time it seems as though unplugging the unit isn't helping the problem. Now I am back to the old school dial type of timer for my actinics. My metal halides seem to be working fine on this timer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Horrible but no choice by BILL STARCEVIC

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/16/2007 from TAMPA, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I wish a another company would make something similar or atleast make all digital product either way the design needs to be changed. I bought one 18 months ago and the Atinic switch stoped working after a few months. So I bought another one and the daylight switch stopped working after 2 days. I now use both of them one for Atinic and the other for daylight hardly efficent but since there is no other item that controls all 3 stages of lights. One day maybe they will get it right. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Unreliable by STEVEN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/17/2007

Comments: This unit is not reliable. The first one I purchased did not work (the first timer simply did not operate, allowing the halide lights to remain on all night). Returned it for a second unit, which operated for about 4 months. Again, the first timer is erratic. UNRELIABLE and FRUSTRATING! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great timers by Jeff in OK

Comments: Have 2 of these timers. One quite working with a week, but only because I got it wet. I now use it as a non-timed power strip. Both are outside the stand and no further problems in over a year. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
