   This timer is incredibly easy to set up and very user-friendly. The simple dial makes scheduling a breeze, and the display is easy to read. It works flawlessly and exceeded my expectations in both performance and reliability. Great value for the money. I would definitely buy it again!

   A full turn of the dial sets up everything, even after half a year of not using it, I got right back into it.
   I considered WiFi versions, but those requires 4AA vs 2AA, and I don’t want an extra app on my phone.

   Purchased this to pair with a drip irrigation system. It was easy to set up and it’s use is fairly intuitive. No leaks at full pressure. The manual mode is to the side which means you don’t have to disengage Automatic watering to turn water on whenever.

   I have more than a dozen of these timers and love them. They are so easy to set, easy to change the settings and easy to manually add a little extra water when needed. Most of them last 2 to 4 years, but about every 5 units I get a defective one. One that had been used for less than 3 months allowed rainwater inside the battery area and was ruined. Another never worked at all. One lasted 6 months and then just stopped working. When they are good they are very very good and when they are bad they are horrid.

   My experience with other timers is that they do not hold up to the elements very well, thus I am reserving a 5 star for later, if the Orbit holds up. Compared to timers I have bought from drip system supply houses, the Orbit is better priced and has more options. The digital readout is large and easy for elderly eyes to see, even on Sunny days. Options are good and cover every usual need. I didn’t start thinking, “Gee, I wish there was another option” as I have with other products. Batteries are AA, which is far superior to 9 volt batteries with their dongle that is hard to use with wet or cold fingers and prone to trouble. I simply ordered a pack of Amazon brand batteries at the same time; should be enough for 2 or 3 years, the life of the timer I am hoping to experience.

   The product has basic instructions, but I doubt if anyone who has ever used an ATM would need them, so well-thought out are the buttons and display. As a user of timers, and they are all have this frustrating feature, the outlet pipe is a male hose connection. If you are using a hose directly to the timer, this is no problem and that is what most people probably use. Drip users need to have one or two other devices connected after the timer connection–a back flow check valve that prevents the water in the irrigation lines from draining back into your house water supply, be it from a city supply or a well. Pick one up at any local building supply or hardware that carries drip irrigation supply. While there, you may need to pick up a filter. The filter is needed to catch sediment some urban water systems can be problem for drip emitters after 1 or 2 years, blocking them and requiring their replacement. If you have never had to open up your faucets to clean off the screen inside, you won’t need this. If you have a well, you do. The filter housing can be screwed in after the back flow prevention valve. The filter housings can be opened and the screens easily removed and rinsed off.

   Finally, if you have high pressure in your system most of envy you! But, you will need a pressure regulator that is screwed on after the filter or back flow device, or directly to the timer. The most common and adequate for MOST installations is a 25# pressure limit. This device prevents high pressure from affecting your drip lines adversely. The Orbit timer does not go in to any discussion of these other needed devices, but that is not a fault. For most users, they will not be purchased. However, it would be a five-star review if they included a female to female hose connector for those people who do decide to attach other devices in between the irrigation hose and the timer. These are available at any hardware or building supply houses and not expensive.

   I’m not advertising for Amazon, but all of the attachments are usually available from them. Just search for water irrigation pressure regulator, back flow valve, or irrigation filter.

   I have four of these, one or two on each of my outdoor spigots, each hooked up with a “Y” so I can still use the spigot for other things, each one supplying water to a different set of plants around my house. I like this particular model — or any of the ones that look just like it — because they are inexpensive and easy to understand and use. Back when I had only one or two, I did leave them outside one winter and they did not work in the Spring, so take them inside and remove the batteries when you are approaching first frost and they will work the next year. (Mine did anyway.) You program them (with simple buttons) to water for a certain number of minutes, as often as you want ( every day or two or three) depending on how dry and hot the summer is. It just takes a minute to change to more or less time if conditions change. You can also push the button for “manual” and have it turn on immediately for however long you want, if you suddenly notice that you underestimated the water needs, everything is dry, and you need to give everything a little more water immediately. If you like taking vacations in the summer, and don’t have some kind of automatic watering system to make sure everything is alive when you come back, I think you’re missing out. I started out using a little pre-packaged system, just to water all the pots on the deck while I was gone years ago, and it worked so well that I expanded to the all the plants and gardening near the house. Setting up the tubing and the little water emitters is the time consuming part, but I do it once a year; I think the garden does better, with less time spent watering overall!

   This little unit works well. Easy to read and operate. Used for a full season with no issues and on a single set of batteries.

    Excellent so far. Extremely easy to set up. I’ve had it running about a week now in my garden and it’s working flawlessly. Would recommend.

    I chose this watering timer after a recommendation on a UK website. I failed to notice that it was being shipped from the US and would therefore be likely to have US style fittings.

    When it arrived we were pleased by its sturdiness and ease of programming but dismayed that it wouldn’t fit the connectors on our watering system. After some very helpful advice from a specialist supplier we discovered that the fittings on the timer are GHT and we needed adapters from GHT to BSP (the UK standard) and vice versa so we could sort out both ends of the connection. Having found the appropriate items on eBay (Amazon might also sell them) we are up and running with no leaks but having spent rather more than we’d originally intended.

    The video posted by another reviewer, showing water spurting from the connectors, is because of the difference in the threads on the connectors. With the right kit it seems to work a treat but do be aware of the additional cost for the items needed. It would be helpful if Amazon showed the adapters as additional items, and described the need for them for UK use, which wasn’t the case when I purchased.

    There are so many timers and I have gone through so many of them trying to save a few dollars but they all have issues. The 62056 is the best timer for $35. If you spend less, you will lose. Easy to read and program down to one minute of watering time.
