GE 7-Day Programmable Indoor Digital Timer, 1 Grounded Outlet Timer, Weekly / 7 Day Cycle Timer Plug, Timer For Electrical Outlets, 125 VAC Light Timer, Plug Timer, Lamp Timer, White, 1 Pack, 15150

I love having timers…I got these 2 after the other brand I have 3 of were no longer availableReally easy to setup and to change time and programs. Love the fact they have a battery backup for power failure as my settings stayCan turn on and off with bypass buttonLove coming home and never to a dark house..Highly reccomemd..

This is an excellent timer. It is relatively easy to program, and permits setting of up to 20 on/off programs over the course of a week. It is accurate and works perfectly. A very nice feature is that one press of the "Clock" button moves the clock forward or backward one hour to accommodate daylight savings time - a snap! Its clockface numbers are large (although its ON/OFF/AUTO indicators are a bit small). It plugs into the lower outlet of a duplex, leaving the upper outlet available for other uses.The instruction sheet needs work. The sheet is supposed to cover both this model (#15150: 15 amps, three-prong grounded)and #15154 (5 amps, two-prong). The photo of the face of the timer does not match #15150 in certain button labels and postions of the ON/OFF/AUTO indicators on the clock display. My timer's Clock button is labeled "Clock/DST" which indicates the daylight savings time feature. However, there is NO mention of the daylight savings feature anywhere in the instructions or on the packaging! (I found it by pressing the button several times.)Step 3 of the instructions calls for selecting either a 12 hour or 24 hour clock display. My unit cannot make the transitiion between these formats and appears to be preset for 12 hour display (which is OK since I don't use 24 hour military-type time). My Hour button is labeled "HOUR/RND," although there is no explanation of what RND means.Aside from the problems with the instruction sheet, this is a fine item, and I recommend it for your household timer needs.

This timer seems fairly well designed and constructed. The instructions that come with it, though, are limited and incomplete.Notable features: The timer plugs into a three-prong grounded outlet and it has a single three-prong grounded outlet for a timed device. The outlet rating is for 15 Amps (pure resistive load - not a lamp with a heater element), 10 Amps (1250 Watts) Tungsten (e.g. an incandescent lamp or ballast lamp with an initial electrical surge when first turned on), or 1/2 (0.5) horsepower (e.g. for a motor).It is fairly easy to program the unit with the buttons following the provided instructions, although see below to understand some of the buttons. I will not replicate the instructions here. Google "GE 15150 user instructions" without the quotes to get a PDF copy of the instructions.Each program can be activated for a selectable set of days of the week - any one day, weekdays, weekends, all days, and a few other subsets of the days of the week. This is not documented in the instructions. While in programming mode, press WEEK successively to choose the day(s) on which this program will activate.The unit has an internal battery to maintain its settings. It must be plugged into a wall outlet for five minutes before setting it up. The instructions say nothing about how long it takes to fully charge the battery or how long a charge lasts!The On/Off button can be pushed to set the unit to On (always on), Off (always off), On/Auto (switch on and in timer mode), and Off/Auto (switch off and in timer mode.The unit has a Daylight Savings Time (DST) feature. It is not documented in the instructions. Pressing the Clock/DST button for a few seconds activates DST mode. Pressing it again turns this off. It sets the hour ahead or back one hour, making it easier to adjust for DST. When on there is a TINY +1Hr indicator on the display. Set this on or off according to whether you are on DST before setting the clock.The unit has a Random feature although as of this writing I have not tested it. It is not documented in the instructions. While the unit is on with just the time of day displayed (NOT in program or clock-set mode), pressing and holding HOUR/RND for a few seconds turns RND on or off. A TINY RND indicator in the display indicates the mode is active. I found a YouTube video for a different GE timer that also has a Random function. On that timer, activating RND mode will cause the timer to turn lights on/off in a +/- 30 minute window around your set time (up to 30 minutes before or after the set time.) Hopefully it works the same way on this unit. It probably makes sense to have at least a 30-minute on time if using this feature.I recommend the timer although you may want to print this review and keep the notes with the instructions!

Works well, not to hard to program.

I really wanted an easy to use timer for my table lamp. I read and reread the instructions. Thought I'd programmed. Nothing happened. Couldn't figure out how to make the settings for every day of the week. Couldn't figure out how to review programmed settings (maybe they didn't exist).I didn't keep the original packaging, so can't return it. I'm going to give it away and hope someone else can figure it out, because I surely can't!

I bought this to replace the same kind I had before. It lasted for many years. It's fairly easy to operate following the instructions. Sometimes you'll have to adjust the time, but it only is off by one minute every so often. Not a big deal. I would recommend it.

It was easy to setup and use.

This product appears to have an actual internal switch that completely cuts the power at the off time. It is also quiet, unlike the noisy mechanical timer that we were using.Other timers we tried kept our LED tree lights lit very dimly instead of turning completely off so I was very pleased that the lights turn completely off with this timer.

Easy to program. Works perfectly. Battery back-up and digital programming makes mechanical timers obsolete. Make sure you get later version with daylight saving time and random features. I bought 2 more after buying and liking the first one.

Excelente temporizador, en mi caso lo compré para controlar el encendido y apagado de mi refrigerador ya que la tarjeta se dañó (y me cuesta prácticamente la mitad del valor del refrigerador), ya no estaba haciendo la función de deshielo, el hielo tapaba los ductos de aire y las cosas se echaban a perder.Programé el temporizador (muy fácil e intuitivo por cierto) para que trabaje por 2 horas y media se apague. Llevo varias semanas y no he tenido ningun problema, las cosas que guardo en el refrigerador por fin dejaron de echarse a perder.

the timer performed exactly as expected.

La marca se destaca por calidad del producto, es facil de programar y fisicamente se siente de buena calidad, no cuenta con luz en la pantalla a decir verdad el diseño fisico es algo estorboso para conectarlo en un multi contacto, te quitara espacio para conectar otras cosas, fuera de eso el dispositivo es muy bueno.

Works great, I use it to cycle a humidifier on and off throughout the night. I'm not sure if the description gives all the right info, but the one I have can handle up to 20 on/off cycles (40 switches per day). I was of the understanding it could only handle 20 switches per day (10 on/off cycles). Haven't had a problem yet and it's been over a month.
