Answer This Question

The timer itself probably uses Pennies. I Run 14-2 ‘ led grow lights and 20-4’ led grow lights. 18 hrs on 6 off. My bill is a little under $200 a month. Sometimes $160 depending on  if dehumidifier is on a lot.

    Only if you plug something that uses 1875 watts into it.

                      That varys by store, on the product page in the app on a phone or in a pc you need to have your zipcode entered and store selected then it will tell you where to find them in that store. I have attached pictures to show exactly what I am saying both on a laptop and a cell phone.

                      Made in China. I've used this for 2 month periods for my lamp while I was out of my home on vacation and it works perfectly. It would be hard to find one made in China. As we all know, China became the world's factory.

                                              the pins are every 30 min, how ever these are mechanical in nature so I have found if you set lights to go on and off of each other to close to each other it will miss cycles of pins due to how it is made, they must be 60 min apart or 2 of the pins in difference for it to work correctly.

                                              Check the electrical ratings on the fan, usually found on the motor. If it is under 12 amps or 1440 Watts, it should work fine. Stay under 80 percent of the device rating to prevent tripping of the circuit breaker.

                                                        Yes, if the wattage does not exceed the max for the timer.

                                                          Yes, if the fan does not draw more power than the safe rating on the timer, ie more than 15 amps with the fan running at max speed.

And it does work well, I've had this timer for over a month and it does the job. I only had to plug in, set the time on the on and off and set the time on it. It only takes 2 prong outlet just so you know and the light that I put on was nowhere the 15 amp max it holds but it is nice to know that you can go up that high. it is meant for indoor just as stated so I did keep it inside. so far it works as it should. Oh and you can turn it on manually if needed to

                                                              I have used timers over the past several years for various reasons...Christmas decor, turning on lamps daily, outdoor decor, indoor decor, etc. I have bought several brands and by far believe the Defiant has been the easiest to use & most dependable, $4 for the single plug (I use this 90% of the time more often, $10 for the double plug.) Is it 100% perfect? Nope, nothing is! Of the approx dozen throughout my house that I use DAILY & then add seasonal timers, Defiant is my #1 go to timer. I have had to return 1 Defiant timer over the past few years that was a lemon & Home Depot didn't question me at all, just swapped it out. Even if HD hadn't swapped out the defective timer, it STILL would not have kept me from continuing to investing in the Defiant timer. If I give a decorative gift that requires electrical power, I always tie on a Defiant timer!!

                                                                Very easy to program. I love this thing. Set it and forget it. Great for turning noisy radios and lights on when traveling. I love that it also has an override switch to keep the light (or device) powered on when you want to use the light (or device) during non-programmed times.

You can't hear any ticking and when the light turns there is no offensive click. This is the second one I have purchased in the past month. Throwing my noisy ones away. Highly recommend this one.
