 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.
 Works if you know how to make it work October 7, 2003

This timer works great - the hard part was figuring out how to program it. It took awhile to figure it out - it is not at all intuitive - but finally got it going. And it has worked great with my drip irrigation system for my hanging plants. I waste much less water than watering by hand and don't have to hand-water every day.

I have owned several melnor products and found that none of them last more than a season. They are all my Home Depot carries so they were my only choice. Electric and manual, they are definitely not made to last. I recommend you look elsewhere.
Two broken timers April 3, 2007

I have owned 2 of these water timers in the past year.
The first worked great for about four months, then the entire face of the timer popped off. I heard it from across the yard. I exchanged it for a new one at Home Depot.
The second I used in the fall and then retired it for the winter. After a week of use this spring, it stopped functioning. The lights were out so I thought it might be the battery. The battery compartment was filled with water and the contacts had corroded. It was useless.
I do not recommend this product.
Junk . . . taking it back to Home Depot July 29, 2007

I wish I would have read the reviews here first. Bought a model 3015 at Home Depot today. (Picked the 2nd one in the display as it was obvious the first had been opened/returned. Should have taken that as a clue.) Installed it, turned on the water and gave it a slight twist to move the display to the side (out of the direct sun) and the top blew off. Water everywhere. Good thing I didn't leave it on and go to work!
