    Wrong Information In The Advertisement

    The packaging on the timer says it has a single grounded outlet, is rated 10 amps, 1250 watts, 125 volts. But it is mislabeled in the online ad as being rated 15 amps, 1875 watts which is the rating for a dual grounded outlet model.

    Partially Disappointed

    Purchased the timer in December 2024 to use indoors to turn on a lamp at 4:30am and then off at 9pm. Needed light in a under lit area of the house. Today, August 1, 2024, the timer just stopped working. After checking the lightbulb and checking the lamp which both turned out to be working probably, I reset the timer. Ultimately, the timer was the culprit. While the timer was $16 and under a one year warranty, I'm not it's worth pursuing to obtain a new one. With the timer being used indoors, I would hope it would last longer than 8 months. Not to mention, if GE puts it's stamp of approval on it, then it should mean something. Guess I was wrong, thus, the lower price point.

    It stopped working properly after a month. We tried reseting the timer multiple times. I wouldn't recommend. Sadly, it's to late to return.

    Stopped Working After about a month

    This item stopped working after about a month of use. I thought I was doing something wrong, looked into multiple different fixes, but did some extra digging and found out that others have had the same experience. They just stop working.
