I use no less than 15 of these timers, around the house. I raise bonsai and have over 200 plants in my house, all on lights, governed by the Woods Timers.
When I first started using them, I had a little trouble getting used to setting them, but once I became familiar, with the very explicit directions, included with the timers, it became a breeze.
The advantage of these timers, over the rotary style, in addition to the slimmer design, is they can be unplugged and settings are saved in the timer's memory. There is also a button, to easily switch back to DST.
Have been using at least six of these, for over 5 years and none have ever failed.
I keep a copy of the instructions handy, in case I miss a step and repeating them here, for others' convenience:
Clear the Memory:
Press the R button with a tooth pick to erase any previous settings.
To Set the Current Time:
Press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds.
The hour will begin to flash.
Press the+ or-button to adjust the hour up or down.
To change from AM to PM press the+ or - button 12 times.
Press the SET button again to advance to the minute setting.
The minutes will begin to flash, press the+ or - button to adjust the minutes up or down.
Press the PROG button to exit setting time of day.
To Program the Timer:
1. Press the PROG button once to display the first setting • 1 ON -:-•
2. Press the SET button once to enter the hour setting mode.
3. The hour will begin to flash, press the+ or - button to adjust the hour up or down.
4. Press the SET button again to enter the minutes setting mode.
5. The minutes will begin to flash, press the+ or-button to adjust the minutes up or down.
6. Press the SET button again to enter the program setting mode.
7. Press the+ button once to display the second setting ·1 OFF-:-·
8. Repeat the procedure to create the "off" setting.
9. Repeat steps 1 thru 8 for additional "on/off" settings.
10. Press the PROG button to exit program setting mode.

The only issue at first glance and without using it first is the LCD is too small and hard to read!

Upon receipt I was able to charge and program one of the timers, but when I picked up the other timer to program I realized it did not charge. So I tried to charge it again, with no success . I reached out to the company by voicemail and email with no response from either. So I will be returning them.

Ordered 2 packs of 2 units. Two were DOA. As I am 1 1/2 hours from nearest store (in store exchange only) was offered $5 and had to eat the rest of cost. But still like shopping at Home Depot.

They work well. The only issue was that the indicators AM and PM are so tiny that I programmed the first one wrong on the first try.

DOA, returned
Took 7 days to arrive. Dead on arrival with nothing at all on displays, even after charging. Returned the same day I picked them up. The only positive experience was that my local Home Depot now has shipment pickup lockers and the pickup process was easy once I asked two employees for help locating and using the lockers.

Works well, but is a little hard to program. You will need the instructions because controls are not intuitive.

These digital timers work great! This is the second time I've ordered them and I'm extremely happy with the product and you can't beat the price for two timers plus free shipping!

Only one works
The one that works is great but when I went to use the 2nd one, it's dead. Left it plugged in overnight but it didn't work. NO DISPLAY AT ALL. Disappointing.

Set up was tricky but they work perfectly once I figured it out. They only take up a third of the space of the old timer and best of all....NO TICKING (yeah!) like the old analog timers. 100% silent. Will buy again.

Great compact timer
I have several of these around the house, two of which are over 5 years old with no problems. Appreciate the compact size snd plug going out the side (rather than sticking out the front). Also prefer the digital timer vs noisy rotary timer. Also like that I can unplug + move timer and the programs are saved
