BN-LINK U47 Indoor Mini 24-Hour Mechanical Outlet Timer, 3-Prong, 2-Pack

I have had two sets of these timers. It's no brainer to set these timers up, it's extremely Elementary. They go bad Within 8 months to a year... I had one take a nosedive on me about 11 months after I programmed it for my grow house. Since they're mechanical they will wear out due to resistance. The outside dial rotates around the center little red indicator. In time the outside dial gets harder to turn around the inside indicator and it will lock completely up. I can't say that a digital is better than a mechanical timer. I chose mechanical because I'm old school. I can touch it, feel it, and know NOW when to replace it. With a digital timer we can't do that. I learned my lesson by not paying attention to how easy that outside dial rotates around the inside. I set it to come on at 6:00 a.m. and go off at 6:00 p.m now. One morning I woke up and my light did not come on, so I looked at my timer and realized that I couldn't even turn the dial. It was not that crucial at the time but if it was a month later I would have ruined all my plants. I'm not bashing this timer! All things mechanical will wear. I have a spare one ready to go timed the same as the one that I have going right now. With these timers, I suggest that you use preventive maintenance. Every once in awhile unplug it and rotate that dial and make sure that it's rotating very easily and that it's not giving you any resistance. Note: when you turn it off and you rotated to see if it's still easy to rotate around the inside ring. You will have to reprogram it. Very easy. When you do check it. If it is getting harder to rotate then when it came out of the box, it is time for you to throw that one away and use the new one that you have already programmed and ready to go. These timers are very reliable straight out of the box and for months on in. They're very inexpensive and they work very well. So, I would highly recommend getting them. Safety in numbers. 2 is what you should have on hand. If one goes bad and you're down to the one, order two more. I mean it's like once a year that you'll be ordering these depending on how you use them. I use mine everyday. At first I had it programmed to 18 hours on, 6 hours off. Then I had to go to 12 hours on, 12 hours off. I did notice that it was harder for me to rotate the outside ring but did not pay too much attention to it until it locked up. I learned my lesson! Just want to pass that lesson on to you. The plants I grow are worth thousands of dollars and if I can rely on these, I think you could too. Just remember to do some preventive maintenance! Please check to see how easy it is to rotate. Good luck, and I hope this helped?

I have purchased these timers multiple times because they are priced right, they are quiet, they are easy to set, and have had no problems.

Conveniently compact, easy to use. Louder than I'd like - I have one in the bedroom, and I can hear it from the bed - but I only knocked off one star because I'd have no complaints if I were using it in another room.

Love these timers! Makes it so easy to have the lights or whatever you want plugged in to be on when needed. We bought them originally for the Christmas tree and other holiday items but they worked so good we use them year around. Easy to set with the tabs you push down or up based on your desired time on and off. There is a switch on the side to keep the lights on after the times is off of you need then on longer and it remembers your settings. Nice to come home and our lights are on where we want them on. I have purchased over 15 of them so you can say we like them a lot.

It is very easy to set up the time you need to start something, time to end something. And don't forget to set your current time.

I use this for the lights on my fish tank. It works perfectly and flawless. Both fish tanks turn on and off. At the same time, I just bought two more.

I have bought 4 pieces of this. Pros: Time function works after 1 night test. Cons: There is not enough clearance between timer pins to plug. I can't put in a night light. It goes over the timer pins. I'll have to buy a plug or a night light which will fit into this narrow space.

The BN-LINK U47 Indoor Mini 24-Hour Mechanical Outlet Timer is a convenient solution for automating lights, small appliances, and other household devices. Its simple mechanical design makes it easy to set up and use without complicated programming or apps. The timer is compact, plugs in easily, and provides reliable on/off scheduling throughout the day. The dial is straightforward to adjust, making it a great choice for lamps, holiday lights, aquariums, fans, and other indoor devices where automatic control is helpful. The build quality is solid for the price, and the timer operates quietly and consistently. While it does not offer smart features or remote control, its simplicity is also its biggest advantage—it works even without Wi-Fi or a phone connection. For the cost, this timer provides excellent value and dependable performance. It is a practical tool for saving energy, improving convenience, and automating everyday routines.

These timers are super easy to set up, did it in a minute. While some people comment that the pins are tight to raise and lower I found it simple. I could use my finger nail but rather that risk the chance of a broken nail I used the tip of a metal letter opener. I plugged it in and attached the outdoor lights I wanted to run on the timer. It worked perfectly. From opening the box to plugging in my lights was less than 5 minutes for this 73 year old woman. I highly recommend. And 2 for the price - bonus!!!

Buen producto, facil de manipular.

I have 4 of these timers & none of them have failed me yet. Worth buying. They'll last for many years as there is no digital display or any internals which can go bad. I run house plant lights off of them, as well as various electronics which I have shut off automatically so I'm not sitting up too late at night watching tv or on my laptop. I have my Apple TV, my actual TV, living room lamp & Roku plugged in to an Anker power bar, which I then plug in to this timer. When everything shuts off thanks to the timer, I go to bed. I also use the times to shut other electronics & lamps on & off in my home when I'm out of town. Great for an aditional layer of security, along with my cameras. The one improvement I would like to see is having 2 outlets on each timer. I recommend them.

Funciona muy bien, fácil de programar. Una buena compra sin duda.
