Orbit 62034 Mechanical Watering Hose Timer, Colors May Vary

Yes color might have faded under brutal summer sun but it still works like a charm as the day one.This is no frills manual timer thus less likely to break. If you do not need electronic timers this is the best timer you can get. I wish most items sold had this quality so we don’t trash them after one season.Definitely highly recommend it.

Works great for my purpose a recommend item when you forget to turn off the water spicket

There should be better contrast on the label. For example, Black on White, instead of black on gray. Maybe even a larger font.The person I bought this for said "oh, I'll need to get out by reading glasses... :-(".They aren't wrong - I have a similar one, and cannot read it very well. But in my case it doesn't matter too much anymore as I'm no longer running a sprinkler, and just use it instead of the faucet knob (which stays open) to turn the water on and off, plus the other end has a nozzle where I turn the hose end on the off when i get to where it's needed. I also turn the "timer dial" to off when I'm finished, Though I suppose I should just turn the faucet off instead. Point it, most of the time the timeI dial can fudge a lot. In the current use case, the time set is important, and different for each house connected to the splitter underneath this timer.Since it will not be used, I didn't test this one out, though I ASSUME is works as expected, like the similar looking one I have, branded by ACE I think. (In fact I bought this one thinking it was the brand I have & a good chance it'd work well. Maybe it is the same manufacturer behind the label, I dunno?)I'm replacing this with one from another company that will be much easier to read as it's label is black on white. Unfortunately it's main color is a stand-out red, instead of the nice blending, inconspicuous green that this one has.And in this location blending matters. What to do?Please consider replacing the label with one that is easier to read, especially for ageing eyes. The average age of the population here, and in most countries, is getting older, so it's a good long term strategy ;-)

I really!! Like these timers no stress just hook it up turn it to how many minutes you want turn it on and go shopping no worries. Watering my yards have never been easier.

Working well for lawn set the timer and forget.

Still working after several years. I think I bought several of these and I would buy several more if I needed them.

Great product but ended up going with one we can program.

These work well for the price!! Have 3 of them on hoses & very helpful
