Raindrip Digital Hose-End Automatic Water Timer, Connects to Garden Faucets and Hose Bibbs, with Back-Lit LCD Screen for Drip Irrigation, Garden, Self-Watering, Grey

This is a really nice timer for the money. It was super easy to program, and was sold as-described. Back-lit display while changing settings, it beeps to confirm your choices, and it comes with a protective bubble cover like outdoor equipment should have. 2 AA batteries and garden hose connections are all you need. I highly recommend it.

Clear and intuitive interface; someone designed an upgrade from the last few decades of basic timers to add clarity and certainty when programming (eg “no” and “yes” indicators when programming run times, and a momentary “next watering” indicator that helps you know whether it’s actually going). Highly readable backlit display.

I am starting to prepare for my spring garden, and needed a new timer for a new raised bed that I have planned. I have the trusty 3 dial timer from raindrip and was excited to see that they have an upgraded version with a screen. The new digital timer is a huge improvement over the old timer. It has many of the things that I like about the last one - the metal part that connects to the hose bibb is really sturdy, the dials are easy to grip/use, and the ability to water now or delay watering has come in handy on my last version and i am glad to see them here. The way you program this is a little different from the last version, but offers much more flexibility. You use the big dial to pick what you want to program, and the little dial acts as a button and a scroll wheel. You do have to push the little dial to get it to start scrolling, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy! I love that I can pick which days of the week i water, and that i can make it start multiple times on the days it waters. I think i can program a cycle and soak using this method. The screen is really easy to see, and i think the cover will help to protect the screen over time. I am really pleased with this timer and am looking forward to using it this season.

Product is the easiest water timer I’ve used yet!

The digital settings work nicely, but the digital screen, within 3 months, became hard to read as it leveliped a large brown spot, making it hard to see, but the manufacturer sent a new one right away.

This was a replacement for my Rainbird system which finally broke after many years. Don't buy it. The hosing is cheap and it doesn't work. keeping the timer for now and replacing all the hosing with the Rainbird tubing. If there's still a problem, I'll replace the timer with the Rainbird timer.

I have been using Raindrop for several years and they have a very good product.

As far as accuracy, it’s on point. The setup is super simple, and it offers just enough functionality. I purchased one in July of 2025, and it worked flawlessly all summer. I fired it up today for the first time this season and water is leaking heavily out of both connectors. I’ll be trying a different timer this year.
