Q: I need a timer that I can program to go on and off every half hour, 24 hours a day (so on 24 times a day and off 24 times a day) Is that something this one can do?

Q: It's been advised not to use the timer to plug into an extension cord. But is it okay to plug an extension into this timer? The extension has a polarized plug, not the grow lights. Which is safer?

The timer setting does not activate the lights without toggling it back and forth to on. Defeats the purpose of the timer. Does turn off when it’s supposed to sometimes.

Purchased today. Working well, so far. However the instructions are incorrect. Should state PULL UP tabs. All of mine were in the down position.
Can't even push the buttons down.

Useless - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
My first complaint about this product is the packaging. Even using scissors (which is necessary) you could still cut yourself on the plastic people-proof packaging. Is it a theft deterrent? I doubt it. With shoplifting the way it is now (at least in CA), it is not going to deter a thief in the least. After that, I wasn't even able to push the buttons down with a pen, pencil, fingers, and I'm not elderly. This thing is a useless brick that's going back to the store.

You can hear the timer cranking as it winds throughout the day but it works fine. You'd think they would make these so they don't block the second outlet but, here we are.

Love this timer! It doesn't tick, so you don't even know it's there until the light goes on at dusk. Does the job accurately and quietly. Doesn't take up too much room at the outlet.

betsy606 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This device is very difficult to use and set up your on/off times. Instrucitions provided are UNCLEAR. I finally managed to get the timer set up as I needed. I can only hope it is working properly while I'm away. Feels cheap and flimsy so I don't think it will hold up for long. I was in a bind and needed a security timer so I had to go with this one. I expected better of a GE product.

I tried this twice but within several days of setting it correctly and plugging it in, it would stop working correctly. Stopped turning completely the first time it messed up. The second time the hours got way off at some point but it kept turning. I know this because I had it set to turn off for 30 minutes at 4 AM (reboot internet modem) but all of sudden at 10 AM we lost internet and when I check it, it showed 4 AM. I set the time on it correctly each time I plugged it in.

AB - 3 years ago
Gray pegs come already pushed down! You’re welcome. So the directions tell you to use the tip of a pen to push the gray pegs down. It specifically says to push on the edges. I spent 20 mins pushing these pegs & it wasn’t until I had broken a pen that I realized they came out of the package already pushed down 🤣 so you have to pop all the gray pegs up and then push down the ones you want. Hope this review saves at least one person from the frustration and sore finger tips that I’m experiencing lol
Button issue solved

kare - 3 years ago
I'm just getting started with this. So I have yet to write a full review of how this is working for me. But I want to share how I solved the button issue. I thought I got a broken one when I couldn't figure out how to push the buttons down to set the timer... the problem was, all the buttons were already down. So if you are having this problem, pull up all the buttons from the outer side... THEN you can push the buttons down!! Sigh... wished I knew sooner but hopefully this review will help others if they are having this issue.
