 Gardena 3-cycle Electronic Water Timer August 4, 2008

This Timer works very well when one is irrigating plants, bushes or trees using either a soaker hose, drip irrigator or sprinkler. I have used a Gardena Water Timer for over 20 years and they just keep working.

I've been a fan of Gardena timers for many years but they've made the interface on this one much friendlier. It's very easy to reset and much more intuitive than their former models. I use them at our home to control the watering for all of our containers, as well as at client's homes for the same purpose.

I've had this item for several days. So far it seems to work as stated. Fiancee programmed it pretty easily. We set it to 30 minutes of watering, and even when you just switch it to "on" it seems it will water for only 30 minutes before it shuts off, which is good because we're forgetful people, just not what we expected. Hooks up easily to the outdoor faucet and doesn't leak, which is impressive as when the valve is left open with only a hose attached it definitely leaks.
Best water timer I've ever seen. June 28, 2008

 Excellent Water Timer June 30, 2008

I've had this unit now for about a week, its up and running, and everything seems fine. Other reviewers have said that to program this unit you really need to keep the instruction manual handy, and I agree with this. Had the folks at Gardena used a different color scale for each of the four timing stages, instead of a black/grey scale for all four timing sequences programing would have been a snap. For example why not use a red scale was for the time of day, a blue for duration of the on cycle, etc., then no reference to the manual would have been necessary.
Other than the initial programming issue, this seems to be a well built unit which I look forward to using.
