  It is the best on the market and very reliable. It may cost more but is worth the price. It is very convenient being able to slide-out the timing mechanism, making any adjustment, and then reattaching. I do not like timers that do not have a clock or do not readily indicate a malfunction. This does it all.

• Great product!

  These timers are great, very dependable even through our hot Arizona Summer! We usually put ours on in April or early May and they run on fresh batteries until we take them off in November. (don't let them freeze!)If it's true that this model has been discontinued, I think the company should reconsider.

  I live in the high desert. In winter the temperatures reach 0 fh. This is the only hose timer that continues to work in cold temperatures. (Not designed for it, but it does work) I've tried so many other timers this is the only model that lasts. Great product I now have 5 of them.
  
  

• Hi Tech Controller

  Have been using the old type Orbit controllers. This is a new high tech version of the same principal. But its much better in that it is computer controlled (chips inside) and completely water proof, where as the old timers, well if they got wet then they quit.
  
  Its easy to program and recommend you buy them...
  
  

• Misting system controller

  
  By A3L1OSY0BW3QJ9 on 2008-04-28
  I have used this model before, buy could no longer locate at the local hardware store. Found it right away on the Amazon site. This is the best battery powered water controller I have found thus far enabling up to 360 minutes of use. It is perfect for our misting system over our Arizona room. The controller lasted over 6 years in the Arizona heat until the selnoid gave out (controller still works).
  
  
• Good for high pressure systems
  By A1GTHUO4BOBWCR on 2008-05-18
  I am using this timer on a garden sprinkler system that requires 115 PSI. Originally, I purchased another Orbit watering timer (w/ 2 dials) but it could not handle high pressure above 80PSI and allowed water to leak through the valve. I exchange it for this model a couple weeks ago and haven't had any issues with leaking water. I believe the manual rates this timer up to 80PSI though.
  
  
• Garden Water Timer
  By A20CV9ND4VN4DA on 2008-06-02
  This is my second unit of this brand and type and so far it is the most dependable, versatile and durable timer I have used. The only negative is the fragile display cover. The clock is accurate with easy to read instructions.
  
  
• A well-designed product
  By A2R525UDJ3GO9B on 2008-07-19
  This automatic valve is a very well-designed product. It is professional in appearance and construction. The programming is well thought out and simple to accomplish. Furthermore, you can remove the programming unit and take it to a comfortable place to set it up. I have tried two different Melnor products which were not only cheaply constructed, but in both cases had manufacturing defects and didn't work.
  
  
  
  
• Orbit Lawn & Garden Hose Digital Watering Timer And Valve #62001
  By AP0IQMKVI6P76 on 2008-08-16
  I was trying to avoid having to install an electric powered watering timer and did research on battery powered watering timers. Most of the reviews indicated that this product worked very well. I purchased in June 2008 and the product has held up very well even in 108+ deg days in sunny Arizona. The control module is very easy to remove from the valve unit in order to program, programming is easy and the unit takes two 9V batteries. Great product!! I highly recommend.
  
  
• No pressure
  By ADJVK34E0V3ZQ on 2008-06-30
  I installed my timer and the valve would open, but with hardly any downstream pressure. I called Orbit and they suggested I return the timer, which I did and asked for a replacement. The replacement came, and same thing. Valve opens, and the water just trickles out the downstream side. I'm very disappointed. One faulty part I can understand, but two in a row?

• easy on the pocket and the mind
  By A3BNQE3LDWFF71 on 2008-07-29
  this is my 4th water controler... it is by far the easyest to program...the best value for the dollar...I have wasted a lot of money on other timers that have failed and were very frustrating to program...I will recomend this product to everyone...
  
  
• Wonderful, wonderful !
  By A1LV7MYZURBMJ2 on 2008-08-23
  What can I say? I hate going out to water the shrubs. This does the work for me and does it reliably. The removeable timer is a real luixury. You won't regret this one. Love it.
  
  
• Timer is great, but not very well made
  By A22C4JGA1HXOCZ on 2008-09-13
  I just finished disconnecting this timer, and tomorrow I will return it to the hardware store where I bought it. I have had it for about two weeks. The timer mechanism works just fine, but apparently the valve doesn't: I have a continual leakage when the water is supposed to be off. I just placed an order on Amazon for two more Gilmour timers to add to the ones I already have--they are the only timers I have used that have always been reliable.
  
  
• Great product

  This is a great product!!
  
  It is easy to use. I love not having to play around with the sprinklers every day. My lawn looks great and I do not have to be busy with it.
