I have used it two summers and it does the job. i have used other models by other companys and most of them have developed leaks sooner or later..So far so good with this one.
 Watch out for the "Water Hammer" March 23, 2003

Used this product last summer. It is easy to operate and works as advertised. However, the rubber diaphragm, which controls the water flow goes from totally closed to totally open in an instant, which creates, at least in my plumbing, a banging water hammer effect on my basement pipes.I'm going back to the Melnor product this year. It's turning mechancal valve allows for a gradual transition from on to off
which eliminated the pounding on the pipes.

Have used mine for three-plus years and could not be happier. reliable, quiet; efficient, and what's more, I have not even had to replace the batteries!. Great product

The Gilmour products are easy to use, reliable, and for a few dollars more, the 9400 offers a real-time clock, which you can set day of week. either way, both products are great.

The reliability of battery operated sprinkler valves has been going up in recent years and Gilmour seems to be leading the pack. I have tried them all!
This model costs less than their model 9600? and gives you one watering cycle per day. However, I found myself only using one of the four cycles on the 9600 and was happy to find the lower cost model.
Unlike other single cycle, analog timers on the market you don't have to get up at 4am if you want to start watering at that time tomorrow! It allows you to manually advance to the time you want. Coupled with drip systems available today, this valve will give you a lot more freedom for fishing and having fun.
And, coupled with the Naan sprinkler, you can enjoy full lawn coverage at a fraction of the cost of an underground system.
