Review:
A good timer-switch
This timer-switch was sent to me for review. I think it’s very good: it is neat, robust,
simple to use and works very well.
(NOTE: the timer has a UK
plug and socket even though the picture currently on this page shows non-UK fittings.)
There is , thank heavens, a decent user manual, which is
basic but tells you pretty well all you need to know in good English, so the
unit is easy to set up. Time and day
setting is very simple, and there's a very handy and simple function to switch
between Summer Time and GMT without
resetting the whole thing. You can
programme up to 10 periods during the day for the switch to be on; each can
operate every day, only on a given day, only on weekdays, only at weekends and
in other combinations of days. There's
also a "random" setting, which may be handy if you want to make a
house look occupied when you're away.
The unit is powered from the socket it's plugged into, but
there's a built-in battery with a pretty long life (given as ">100
hours", but I suspect it's far longer) so that it doesn't lose all its
settings if it's unplugged.
Quite simply, it just works.
Once you've got the hang of it (which doesn't take long) it's dead
simple to use and then gets on with the job with no fuss. It's nicely designed so it's pretty
unobtrusive and it looks as though it will last for a good long time. (I will update this review if I have any
durability problems, but I'm not expecting any.) It's a good unit so if you need a simple but
flexible timer-switch I can recommend this warmly.
