 Unfortunatly Unreliable Timer May 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
No longer a "Made in USA" product.
My DT-17 timer worked great for about 4 months controlling night lights (small resistive load)and apparently the internal contacts failed. Timer keeps going - but no longer controls the internal switching relay. I've now scratched Intermatics OFF my buy list, as their production has moved to China and their Quality Control appears to have left the country as well. These guys use to make quality products/timers - - but those days are unfortunately gone
Hard to use in kitchen wall socket May 6, 2008
I like the convenience, but when the power goes out it shuts down all Programmed times. Therefore, you have to reprogram the unit, but is very difficult to do because it has a small screen on top of the unit. I use the unit in the kitchen and leaning over the kitchen counter is difficult to see the screen. It would have been much better with the screen on the front of the unit. I have used an extension cord to alleviate the leaning over the counter.
Digital Timers April 28, 2008
Good little timer as far as functionality and programming flexibility is concerned. But, impossible to find locally in most stores on the East Coast of the US without paying an extra premium to "special order" (very annoying), so Amazon is a good bet. But mine failed--through no fault of mine or anything I could have done, according to Intermatic Customer Tech Support--after 6 1/2 months. Very frustrating because it's used with multiple daily programs. Much energy resources and money (mine) winds up being wasted with it not working. Let's hope the replacement Intermatic is supposed to send me under warranty is more reliable and lasts longer and that Intermatic gets it to me quickly!!
 timer April 28, 2008
Excellent product - but the first 'install battery' illustration is wrong - you have to go to p. 2 to see how the batteries really go in. After that's all settled; it's all good. Read through the directions a couple of times for settings/timing/etc. - if you're reading thru and trying the make the settings - it might 'close out' because you're taking too long.
 Accurate but somewhat confusing March 25, 2008
The timer is very accurate and is what I was looking for in a dual time zone digital timer. However, the directions were a bit confusing and it took about a week to get it all figured out and working properly.
