Problem: Amazon write-up on it when I purchased it indicted that it would handle 15-amp loads, but when I got it, I found that it will handle just a bit over one-half of that.

Advantages: Electric (motor) timers power draw is actually enormous, overall since that little motor in them is running 24/7/365 and you can feel the heat generated by them and they lose their timing schedule with a power outage. This timer is all electronic and has a back-up battery thus, taking almost no power to operate and keeps it's timing cycle after power outages. After replacing 3 electric timers with these, a measurable drop in KWH was noted making it a good "green" device.

Other: Once you get used to the programming and over-ride sequences required, it's easy to use.

Easiest thing I have ever setup.

Press and hold time while pressing hour, etc. Doesn't get any easier.

I got this for turning on/off a lamp.

Place in bottom outlet and you can still use the top one. Great design.

I haven't had it long so I hope it holds up for my 5 stars...

The turn on/off is a lot quieter then the mechanical relay types.

The manual bypass is also a good feature.

Lite on lcd panel would have been helpful.

Honest reviews on Woods 59203 Digital Lamp and Appliance Timer, Repeats Weekly

We've tried other timers but they often cost a lot more and have less features. Like most products mass produced in 3rd world countries, there will be a couple out of 100+ that aren't perfect. Good luck trying to find an alternate product that has a built-in rechargeable battery backup so you don't loose the programming in case of a power failure. 20 program on-off's, daily, weekly, m-w-f, mtwtf, sat-sun. Easy to program, easy to read and no dip switchs to loose. For the money, you can't get a better timer. It works great with our RedyTemp whole house no-wait hot water optimizer.

I purchased 2. One recently died after 3 years. The other is still working. I guess you can't beat a cost of $4 a year. It was a bit difficult to program, but once I managed to do it, I left it alone. I would like a random on/off feature. I have some lamp timers by Dynascan that are, believe it or not, over 30 years old and they still work! They randomly alter the on /off time during a 15 minute time frame, so I might try the GE random as a replacement. If not for wanting the random feature, I would buy this timer again.
