Heavy-Duty Grounded Plug-In Timers Type: Air Conditioner & Appliance Timer… More >>
This unit lasted about one winter. Too much heat was generated at the point where the male power plug (from the space heater) attached to the timer’s female plug. Reportedly, excess heat can be generated if the plug is not inserted fully. But even when the plug is inserted fully and flush with the female plug, the male plug can work its way out gradually. In this case, the plastic case melts slowly and the unit stopped working — which is better than having a fire. Separatelly, I find the pins to be very inconvenient and easily misplaced. Intermec has a superior model which had sliding tabs instead. [Intermatic TN811C Programmable Lamp and Appliance Timer.] That said, for the cheaper price, I’ll be buying another unit.

I own 2; one quit after a month, the other continues to work after 1+ years. At least these timers are quiet, even when they work

I’ve had this timer a couple months now and it works perfectly. It is very accurate and easy to use. I’m very pleased with it. I’ve had several other models in the past and this is the best of the bunch by a wide margin.

I’m sure this product works some of the time, but ours worked for 24 hours and then never worked again. At first I thought we put the pins in wrong, but it actually stopped updating the little clock. I ended up returning it and spending $4 more for something that sounded like it might actually work.

The timer is somewhat difficult to set because ‘pegs’ must be inserted at each start and stop time. It’s an inconvenience more than anything else.
Once set, the product works well.
