Customer Reviews for Defiant 24-Hour Plug-In Basic Timer

It was difficult to figure out. I think the clock part is backwards. Once we figured it out it's been great.

Using for window lights during Christmas. At under $4 per timer what a bargain.

A good value for a reasonable price. It works just fine..

Very easy to setup and use. Reliable product that works well.

It worked

Excellent Product

Very easy to adjust. Just used a small screwdriver to pop up all the tabs that I wanted in the off position. Can't imagine why a few others had difficulty setting this up. I also bought the 2 outlet larger model for $9 something.

This timer does not work. I couldn't get the pieces to push in for the hours you want to set it to. I'm returning it tomorrow.

The timer portion stopped working after 1 hour. Stay away from this product.

Very hard to use the pins are very hard to push down decided not to use because we couldn't set it up

Good product for the price. Seems to stop working relatively soon, this is my second one. First one lasted 2 (maybe 3) yrs - can't remember (however wrote the purchase date on the product instructions insert). Didn't want to spend for the higher costing models. Ease of use is excellent as well.

easy to use. great for lighting the house when ur arriving after dark, without having a smart phone. set it & forget it.

Thirty minute interval not as precise as some more expensive timers with fifteen minute intervals. Good value for price, no failures yet.

It was hard to set up immediately. Directions said to push down numbers relating tto setting times, but would not push down. Then I raised them all up and was able to set time.

For those of us who are now meshed in the digital world, this product is not there. The question is what do you need for you to solve a problem. This timer for me solved that problem. It is basic! But it does what is needed to be done at a price that is also basic. For less than $4, it turns on and off a light at approximately the appropriate time. That's all I needed and that's what I got. If you need something that you want accuracy or the ability to switch heavy current, this is not the item. This does what it claims to do and nothing more. If you purchase this timer, you will get what you pay for. No ups and no extras!

wanting something to turn radio and lights on and off in our home while we were away we selected a more expensive timer which was so complicated we never could get it to work properly so I bought this simple and inexpensive model, wound up buying 4 more at our local HD so that we were able to have even more rooms with the timers for what just ONE cost us! Very pleased with the results and actually am still using one for my plants. Great purchase for us! Highly recommend!

This timer worked well for about 2 days, afterwhich, it woud stop and start periodically.

Smaller than our older timers. No complaints. Great value for money.

I bought this to replace an older timer that was very noisy. The older one made a humming sound and would turn on and off with a very loud click. This unit is very quiet. No humming and turns on and off almost silently. I like it.

Great price and very quiet operation. Can set on and off many times per day if necessary

The timer is simple to use and effective. Remember to check - the little tabs could already be pushed down, so they have to be pushed up first.

Good timer - During the winter months, I use the timer on a small space heater in the bedroom. Instead of waking up to a cold room, I set the timer to warm the room and shut off. For safety reasons, I unplug the space heater when I leave the house. If you’re looking for an exact time, this device may not be for you. Simple to use. The timer must remain plugged in in order to keep the current time. All pins should be in the pulled out positions. Simply push in the pins reflecting the intervals you want the electrical device on. Also, make sure you select the clock icon on the side and not the “ON” switch.

Low quality timer, it really is rubbish from the moment you open the box. 2/3 never worked. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake...do not waste your time & money (and landfill space!!) on such rubbish.

Low priced good product. It works flawlessly. A+++

It took a minute to realize which way the tabs needed to be set, but once set, everything worked great.

Compact in size and very functional for for needs now.

I have to admit, I read the other reviews prior to purchasing this product. I always had trouble setting timers in the past, but with the help of the instructions and the review, the timer is working like a charm. The key was to pull all the tabs to the up position - down position means the light will go. I would recommend this product for the price. I even purchased a back-up! Good stocking stuffer!

I bought two...one works perfectly, the other doesn't work at all. I had thrown out the receipt so I couldn't return it. next time I'll spend the money to get one that works as it should.

This is a basic timer that is easy to work and set. The only critique I could give it is that the times are not completely exact. You set it using a rotating dial that is marked by 30 minute increments, so if you don't set the time on one of those increments, it can take some fiddling. But a few nights of adjusting at I've got them exactly where I need them. There is a slight buzz as the dial rotates, but I can only hear it when everything else in the room is off.

Does exactly what I wanted for 4 bucks, I would absolutely recommend this product
