Power Stake Timer

A rebuy after my last one burned out after 5 years of constant use. So nice to have the remote control.

Really like these. It is mid October 2021 now and I bought two of these late November 2018. Have been using them outdoors year round here in the Pacific Northwest, with lots of rain and they've been buried in snow a few times. Works great. Only issue I have is they stay off if you lose power, so you have to set them to your desired setting to get the working again. But for the price and performance I still think they get five stars.

A solid timer. As I read reviews on this & other outdoor timers; I’m obligated to make a comment around many 1 star reviews, nearly all revolving around the unit’s failure to be Waterproof. Ya can’t put it face up on rocks, have it drink 6” of direct rain in 48 hours, and expect good things to happen. Think of it this way: It’s like taking a bath with all of your favorite AC appliances in there energized. Think of conduits/junction boxes and the strict electrical code governing them. Ya need to show these a little love as well. This is my 2nd one of these. Been a year or so with the 1st here in rainy Oregon, and I’m happy with it. I put an inexpensive (transparent) plexiglass box over my outdoor sensors. (There are a few upside down cord-hanging units that are ok exposed, and you can see how all water is kept from the outlets by a contoured perimeter design.) I recommend. Bob

Anytime power goes out it won’t work until to turn it on

Bought these to control my out door LED strand and another light. The remote has great range and makes it very easy to turn lights on and off. This would be great for Christmas lights as well. No more fudging with a timer.

Right out of the box set up. So convenient for Christmas lights. Lights are on/off with the press of a button. Will purchase another one.

Good devices (I have two) one in my garden and another in the front entrance. I find them particularly practical as they allow for setting up a time-lapse when operating in a photocell mode. As these are outdoor timers to protect them from the elements I would recommend greasing the plug receptacles with an approved lubricant for electrical connections. Too, I would suggest covering them up during heavy snow falls or installing them high above ground, instead of using the provided stakes.

I only gave four of five stars, I can't attest to longevity/weatherproofing because I plan to unplug it once the snow falls. I've enjoyed using this during the warmer months on the outside water fountains that I purchased at a big box store. I love being able to use the remote from inside different rooms within my home, it has great range.
