BN-LINK BND-60/U47 Indoor Mini 24-Hour Mechanical Outlet Timer, 3-Prong, 2-Pack

These are really great. They are a quality product that is not complicated to set up and you can have it go off and on several times per day. The controls are simple enough that anyone can set this up. It’s also very reliable. Great price for two timers. We love tgem.

I have gotten a number of mechanical timers, which you may think is odd, but I have to watch my son's house while he is on 3 month assignment. So I bought a number of these to do his lamps at his house, so the place looked lived in, since I live a half hour away and be there daily. These are the best I've bought, and the easiest to use. They come with instructions, which is great, since apparently I was doing it wrong with the others, pushing things down when they should have been up. Anyway, it explains it. You don't have to "program" it, per se, just push the little notches up or down. And I've seen the lamps lighting and turning off at the house, so these work well. Which is saying something, since the others I had were more complicated, and never seemed to work. Coulda been me not understanding how to program them, I give you, but these WORK, so I'm in favor of that, no matter what the problem may be. The timer is excellent, even though it is only "programmable" by the house. But when I come by, I change it, and it's easy to change, so things start an hour earlier or an hour later, just to make the times variable, so again, the house looks lived in. These are cheaper than buying a used car to park in the driveway, so I'm psyched. A+ items. Should probably have a few more so I can do all the lights in the house. The brightness depends on the lamp you use them on, so that's not an issue. And they seem very durable, since there are no computer bits to work on, or batteries to charge, etc. Simple technology that works well. A+ from us. And love that you get a 2-pack, so you can put one upstairs, one down, or in 2 different rooms. Feel like they are keeping his house safe.

Works great, but they’re loud. One night, we were just reading with no fans or TV on and I could hear a grinding like noise. I looked and looked, and found it was this timer running. Other than that it’s a great timer and good value.

We use this timer for our fish tank light and it’s been great. Super easy to set up and keeps the lighting on a consistent schedule, which makes a big difference for the tank. No apps, no Wi-Fi—just set it once and it works every day. It turns on and off right on time, feels sturdy, and doesn’t reset if the power flickers briefly. Having a regular light cycle has helped keep everything more stable in the tank. Only minor downside: the tabs are a little stiff the first time you adjust them, but it’s not a deal breaker. Overall, this is a simple, reliable timer that does exactly what we need for our aquarium. Would absolutely buy again.

I don't need accuracy to the minute or second each day. I don't know if the dial can even be turned with that sort of precision with the human hand. The device is designed for 30 minute increments. The device works very well for me. It keeps time and is simple and easy to use. I can make adjustments very easily as needed. My devices are quiet. I would purchase again.

I have had two sets of these timers. It's no brainer to set these timers up, it's extremely Elementary. They go bad Within 8 months to a year... I had one take a nosedive on me about 11 months after I programmed it for my grow house. Since they're mechanical they will wear out due to resistance. The outside dial rotates around the center little red indicator. In time the outside dial gets harder to turn around the inside indicator and it will lock completely up. I can't say that a digital is better than a mechanical timer. I chose mechanical because I'm old school. I can touch it, feel it, and know NOW when to replace it. With a digital timer we can't do that. I learned my lesson by not paying attention to how easy that outside dial rotates around the inside. I set it to come on at 6:00 a.m. and go off at 6:00 p.m now. One morning I woke up and my light did not come on, so I looked at my timer and realized that I couldn't even turn the dial. It was not that crucial at the time but if it was a month later I would have ruined all my plants. I'm not bashing this timer! All things mechanical will wear. I have a spare one ready to go timed the same as the one that I have going right now. With these timers, I suggest that you use preventive maintenance. Every once in awhile unplug it and rotate that dial and make sure that it's rotating very easily and that it's not giving you any resistance. Note: when you turn it off and you rotated to see if it's still easy to rotate around the inside ring. You will have to reprogram it. Very easy. When you do check it. If it is getting harder to rotate then when it came out of the box, it is time for you to throw that one away and use the new one that you have already programmed and ready to go. These timers are very reliable straight out of the box and for months on in. They're very inexpensive and they work very well. So, I would highly recommend getting them. Safety in numbers. 2 is what you should have on hand. If one goes bad and you're down to the one, order two more. I mean it's like once a year that you'll be ordering these depending on how you use them. I use mine everyday. At first I had it programmed to 18 hours on, 6 hours off. Then I had to go to 12 hours on, 12 hours off. I did notice that it was harder for me to rotate the outside ring but did not pay too much attention to it until it locked up. I learned my lesson! Just want to pass that lesson on to you. The plants I grow are worth thousands of dollars and if I can rely on these, I think you could too. Just remember to do some preventive maintenance! Please check to see how easy it is to rotate. Good luck, and I hope this helped?

These work well and I like that they don’t make an annoying humming noise like some timers.

This is a nice, simple unit, no fancy programming. The only issue with this unit is the time dial. The time dial is very close to the power socket. Many "wall wart" chargers won't work because they will jam the dial. This will work just fine with any normal plug.

Easy to set on/off times. Built in pegs allow for many on/off settings, no parts to misplace. Working with no issues, very pleased. No complicated set up instruction like the electronic timers I have those also they keep switching from auto position to on position??? I like the manual style much better.

Funciona muy bien, fácil de programar. Una buena compra sin duda.

Instructions were very clear and easy to follow which made this timer very easy to set up. Literally a minute or less. Push down the pins for the time that you want it be on and the turn the centre dial to the current time. Way easier to set than the one it is replacing! It is sturdy and feels like good quality and worked perfectly the first time I plugged it in. It's completely silent I love that it has 2 spots for plugs although I am currently only using one. It has shown to be very accurate over the last few days and it was a totally worthwhile purchase. I'm very happy with it.

Muy buenos y fáciles de instalar

Easy to set up and works well. I would buy again
