24 Hour Indoor Plug-In Polarized Outlet Mechanical Timer

I wanted to get a timer to use for my cable modem. I use this to turn it off and back on to reset the ip address every day. This helps to keeps the internet speed up. Anyhow, this timer has a 24-hour manual clock that has on/off switches in 30-minute increments. It seems to keep the time well but I’ve only had it a few days. The plugs to set it are pulled out easily which makes it simple to set the times for on/off. There is a light that indicates it’s on. It comes with an instruction page that’s easy to follow. This is a simple no-frills timer that, so far, has worked for what I needed it to do. Made in China.

These are so convenient for obvious reasons...security, hard to reach areas, holiday decorations or simply just everyday use and enjoyment. I am very familiar with the section ones like this and are so easy to set and adjust when needed. This one is reliable, simple to use, blends in with decor and I do like the “in use” light which others don’t seem to have. This way you know it is set correctly. Sometimes they are difficult to figure out when not functioning correctly. Whether it is broken or not on timer or simply human error, so this light really is a valuable asset. I like that the outlet is on the side but I don’t like that this timer is quite large. This will work fine on a standard wall outlet for most, but in my house it covers up other open outlets which makes this useless for me. I have add-on adapters on most wall outlets so to use this I plug it on one but lose 2 others. Doesn’t make sense for me that way. I will get use out of it when on an extension cord which may not be the safest, don’t want to overload. Also keep in mind this is not grounded/3 prong. All my outlets are, therefore I’m sacrificing multiple grounded outlets as well as not being able to use as a timer for a grounded plug. I’ve been using mechanical timers for decades so I know that I want it to be reliable, versatile, easy to use and most importantly it cannot take up valuable space of open outlets.

I am replacing an existing mechanical plug in wall timer with this one to gain access to the other outlet. All of the timers I have used in the past are so big that they cover everything on the dual outlet. This guy is small enough that you can plug it into the lower outlet and still use the upper outlet. This timer controls a path light that illuminates the front steps at our house. With the push/pull timer selectors it is easy to change the on/off time as the seasons change.

This timer is a must have for every household. You can use it to turn lamps on and off I use one on my coffee maker to have my coffee ready when I get up. If your away from home and you need lights to come on it’s perfect for that. I do recommend trying these timers for your home. 24 hour indoor plug in polarized outlet timer Great to have on hand.

Woods brand 24 Hour Mechanical 24 hr. Timer is a no nonsense mechanical timer with easy controls for a single plug. Sleek design blends in with just about any modern décor. 48 pins for programming 30 minute intervals. One (1) Polarized Outlet on right side LED indicator light Convenient finger-grip design allows easy plug-in and unplugging from the receptacle.

This is one of the best light times I have ever used. It plugs in horizontally instead of vertically, so that the other outlet is free to use rather than blocking both. It has a light on it to indicate that it is working. On & off switch, so you can manually override the timer to turn on a light. One unique feature is that it can be programed for multiple on & off times (48) so I can program a variety, turning the lights on and so many random hours, giving the impression that I am HOME while being away on vacation. I am mostly looking forward to using this at Christmas to turn my tree lights on and off at set times, instead of trying to reach behind to plug it in manually.

This is a great timer not only for holiday lights but also for lamps if you go on vacation, etc. I have a lamp that I turn on every single night. This timer now does the turning on and off for me and I LOVE it! It is very inconspicuous and extremely easy to operate. Just set the time then push the pins up or down. There is an indicator light on it so you know it's working and you can slide the button off of timer for manual use. Very nice! Recommend!

So far, this timer appears to be just what I need, but for one thing: it doesn't fit the three-pronged outlets! It has two prongs so that any appliance that I currently use will not fit! Are there still modern appliances made which don't have three prongs? I will need to look for an adapter that can fit both the outlet and the appliance, so I am hoping I find one!

The compact design overcomes potential problems with larger timers. This timer works best when used in the top outlet of a traditional two outlet electrical box. Doing so allows access to the lower outlet and also allows you to easily switch the timer manually on and off, if you wish to override the settings. The more compact design comes at a price for some. The setting pins are smaller and so are the numbers on the dial.

it is an indoor timer. It has one polarized outlet. there is a small oval shaped on right side LED indicator light shows a visual of when the timer is on. It takes me a while to figure to move the dial to set up for evening @ 8 pm to midnight. I use it for my dining room hanging light fixture to set up to turn light on before dark. Then turn light off @ midnight.

They work so far, extremely well

Simple, inexpensive, & easy to use. Fairly well-made. The oblong shape is meant to keep the other plug clear, however you’re still at the mercy of what you plug into it. In my case, I had a small power brick which prevented plugging the whole unit into the wall. I had to use an extension cord instead.

This timer is easy to use and works as required.

Works just fine for me and easy to use

The plug-in polarized timer works just great. It was easy to set up and I just had to plug it in and plug the lamp into it and like MAGIC it turns the light on and off just as I wanted it to....

I replaced an old noisy dial timer with this version. Runs silently plus gives me multiple on/off options through the day.

Easy to use

Great basic timer. No digital stuff to get messed up when it gets unplugged or the power goes out briefly.Works perfect for the LED grow light.

Easy to set up. The slim shape will not block the second outlet. Led indicator is functional and looking nice.

Very easy to use and reliable
