      for example, 30 minutes on followed by 2 hours off repeating throughout the day, I want to use this to control a fish tank heater. If this timer can't do it, is there an upgraded version or another brand that could?

      Yes, you can do that. The down position is "on" and the up position is "off" on the dial, so you would just set the pattern that you want.

        Yes, this unit can be programmed in as small an increment as 30 minutes.

          Such a question has been asked, but no real good answer given. Shouldn't this information be on the timer itself or in the instruction manual?

          On the back of the package it states. 125 vac 60 Hz. 15A 1250W(watt) tungsten 1/2 hp.

            Marie, the answer is the timer pulls less than 1W by itself. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

              The GE timer-24 hour plug-in basic timer--has been in same outlet for a few years and has recently started making a ticking sound all the time. It was quiet before. Is it still safe to use?

              Lenclare, the timer is still safe to use, what you are hearing is the gears starting to get worn. It’s not uncommon for the mechanical timers to start making a noise after a time. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

              By|May 3, 2023

                Yes, I've 3 of these now & all started making noise after a couple months. IMO lenclare is correct; plastic timer gears get warn BECAUSE of lack of LUBRICATION. From the factory they smear a little clear lube jell in its glued-shut gearbox that lasts only for some time. The noise these are guaranteed to make after weeks/months is a problem for us as we're using it for a 400W panel heater near our bedroom. Anyway my solution was to drill an access hole & spray in plastics-safe replacement lubrication. Sprayed a good bit in to hit most all gears but avoided black armature(?) at bottom. Then clear tape over the hole for the next time this happens (in a few weeks or month or so). I needed a special triangular bit from a $7 set to open. If you do this you do so at your own risk of course. Won't be held liable for anything regarding this solution. Will say its been useful & fine the few times I've done it.

                  I have a coffee maker that only has an on/off switch, and figured instead of buying a new one with a built-in timer, I would buy this for $4 instead. Will it work for this type of application??

                  Becca, per the instructions that come with the timer • Do not use to control appliances that contain heating elements (cooking appliances, heaters, irons, etc.) so it’s not recommended that this timer be used for a coffee maker. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

                    Yes, this product will allow a device to turn on and off at a certain time.

                      Does this product allow you to have the lights slowly dim on? Is there a timmer product that does?

                      This is an on/off timer; it doesn’t have the ability to dim lights at all. I don’t know of a plug in timer that can dim. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

                      By|May 3, 2023

                        It does not.

                          Toad, if you want to set scenes, you may want to look into the GE Zwave products. Those items would allow you to set a program where a light, or group of lights, can come on or dim to predetermined light levels. These are the other end of the spectrum from a basic mechanical timer but they will do what you are asking for.

                            Jasco Products doesn’t manufacture a timer like this at this time. Jasco Products Tech Suport(Manufacturer)

                            By|May 3, 2023

                              Bobby, check this out. This timer would allow you to set the timer on an end table and then plug your device into it. It doesn't have a cord that runs to an outlet since it controls the plug in module wirelessly. I hope this helps get you what you need. http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-SunSmart-15-Amp-7-Day-Programmable-Wireless-Timer-System-with-Single-Outlet-Black-and-White-26684/205812829
