Work great Oct 12, 2008 Reliable and easy to program. I usually get about 4 to 5 years out of these things before they begin to give trouble. When that happens you should replace them immediately to prevent a failure when least expected (like when you are on vacation). They will develop small leaks before the actual switching fails. So there has always been some months between the onset of leaks and the final failure of the device. I use three on my two gardens and this is the second time that I have needed to replace one since I began using three about eight years ago. There isn't anything cheaper or more reliable on the market.
Can't do different days per channel / confusing manual / easily clogged filter Jun 19, 2008 I bought this mainly because I thought it would allow me to set up different watering schedules for each channel, i.e., different watering *days* per channel. You can't do this. I called Orbit tech support and the guy knew right away what I was asking, and said it can't be done with this unit. You can only set the days for ALL channels, and then for each channel you can set the watering start time and duration. You cannot, say, have Channel 1 go on Monday for 1 hour at 5 am, and Channel 2 go on Wednesday at 8 pm for 1 hour. This makes this unit not worth the money for me. I'd rather buy 2-3 less expensive units for each channel I want to control.
The manual and user interface are also VERY confusing. A lot of trial and error to set this up properly.
Mine also easily clogged the filter, greatly reducing the water pressure. This issue may not be particular to Orbit units, but cleaning the filter was tricky. I'm going to look for something else to use altogether.
poorly designed timer Apr 18, 2008 This timer is not sealed properly which allows water to get inside the unit. The plastic cover fell on the garage floor and broke at impact which now means I can't cover the electronics properly... more water seal issues! Very hard to program, not to mention the plus and minus keys are backwards!! Disappointing...

Cheaply made in China product Jul 07, 2007 I bought this two weeks ago and yesterday it started leaking around where it attaches to faucet, plastic cracked, never bye ORBIT products - most of them are made in China and show it, poor quality and workmanship.
Timer Mar 11, 2007 The timer performed well the first part of the season ; the later part of the year it didnt perform . The shipper delivered on time with no other problems .
