A great tool for the resource-wise, Melnor's three-cycle electronic timer regulates watering so that your time, money, and water are better spent. Designed for use with low-pressure drip or soaker hoses, the timer offers hourly settings (once every 8, 12, or 24 hours) or daily settings (once every two, three, or seven days). Programming on the tool is simple--a combination of lighted prompts and a dial with tangible clicks. The unit runs on a 9-volt battery that lasts a full watering season with average use. A gentle shutoff mechanism keeps pipes from banging, while a battery-indicator triggers a flashing light when power's low. Ideal for daily use, the timer's also great for keeping the garden green while you travel. --Emily Bedard

I have 4 of these and two have already broken. I bought them hoping they would be better than Melnor's previous model (bigger, rectangular looking green thing) which all four broke within a year.NOTE, I take very good care of all of my tools. Change batteries, bring in during the winter, etc. This is a quality problem, not a user problem. I have lost plants and wasted a ton of time messing with these things, changing batteries, looking for receipts, etc. MELNOR, shame on you. This is irresponsible and you should recall and apologize for not doing your job (testing a product).

Considering how much landscaping costs, there's little reason to scrimp on timers. I learned this the hard way, coming home from vacation to find my yard brown and parched. This timer, which was less than a year old had failed, and as a result, so did my grass.I'm now in the market for a new one that actually works.

I bought this timer and tried for a week to make it work before I left on vacation. It never worked. I tried resetting it this morning and am hoping that maybe it will work while I'm gone. If it doesn't, I stand to lose a lot of plants. Disappointing to spend so much money and then have the thing be unreliable. I put in the correct battery, followed all the instructions to the letter. Frustrating.
 Wow, with all the trouble.... October 26, 2002

With all the trouble everyone else is reporting, I've owned mine for three years and never had a problem with it (except that it likes batteries... it gets a new one about every two months). Mine works great... sorry everyone else is having trouble.
