This was so easy to install and program. I replaced a 19 year old clock that was becoming selective about what parts of the garden were to receive water. My new Orbit timer has so many cool features and is happy to water the entire garden!
Yes, I recommend this product.

This timer is great. The price is excellent. I installed it myself and I am by no means an expert landscaper. It is simple to program. It has all the features that you need. It was perfect for my application.
Pros: Multi Use, Easy to Install, Functionality, inexpensive
Cons: none
Yes, I recommend this product.

The product was simple to install and the instructions were very easy to follow. It is equipped with simple clip on wire connectors. Which make it very easy to install. The program for watering are also simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes.

The controller is easy to install and program. I upgraded my 6 station Orbit unit to a new 12 station Orbit controller when I added some zones to my property. Old unit woroked fine, but my unit was faulty from the start and intermittently skipped stations and even watered with the unit turned off. Orbit Tech support is only available during working hours M-F and you must be able to troubleshoot the device with the support person on the phone while you're beside the unit. So plan on taking a day off work, hanging and holding on the line for 15-20 minutes before they pick up the line. In my case the controller is located at a weekend home when the tech line is closed. Orbit policy is a replacement can not be given unless you troubleshoot with their person on the phone in front of the controller. Their schedule is impossible for me so my new timer is going in the garbage and I'll get one from another supplier with better tech support.
Pros: Easy to Install
Cons: intermittent operation
No, I do not recommend this product.

I was replacing a 15 year old timer that had gone bad. The Orbit timer was easy to attach to the wall, connect control wires and program. I'm glad I bought it.

It was very simple to connect the wires, than just plug it in. Easy to program too. The one I replaced was over $300.00,and didn't have as many zones. Plus this one has a internal transformer, less space when plugging in.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have used other Orbit timers and they all had separate power blocks. I was planning on installing this timer on the side of the house that has no AC outlet and then using an existing low-voltage feed from the garage. When I opened the box I was surprised to find out that this unit needs AC and would not work as designed. It does look like it's possible to modify and plug the 24VAC directly into the controller bypassing the internal power supply.
Pros: Easy to Install, Good Instructions, nice case for outside
Cons: needs 120vac outlet
Yes, I recommend this product.

Product easy to program and connect. Works every time as advertised. I wish it could handle more than one master valve or pump connection, but I worked around this problem.
Pros: Reliable, Easy to Install, Good Instructions, No Leaks
Cons: needs to operate more than one master valve or pum

HD did not have the Toro controller in stock that I wanted. Good thing too. After reading the reviews here, I decided to get this model. The quality and ease of programming makes this a five-star player. This works so much better than the Toro units I have used in the past. Very happy with this purchase.
Yes, I recommend this product.
