Gardena Water Timer: Automatic timer for faucets 26.5 mm (3/4 inch) or 33.3 mm (G1), flexible watering time (5-120 min), easy insertion thanks to quick-connect system (1169-20)

I have now purchased a second of these, yes they are expensive BUT you do get what you pay for. My original is still working fine after 3 years of being exposed to the british weather. They are easy to program and totally reliable.No more dreading the hanging basket and flower bed watering chore. Just sit back and enjoy. Just bought a second- Excellent

Installs in a jiffy and so simple, just dial the number of minutes. No batteries to replace, just clockwork timer so zero maintenance. Nice touch that it comes with adaptor so will fit any size outside (screw) tap.

Does a good job, easy to set up and use.

First class product for the price easy to use

First time we used it on a 120 minute cycle, the timer got to about 30 minutes and then got stuck. Water stayed on flooding everything and it just stopped counting down. Has done the same thing every time we used it. Don't waste your money or your time having to return it to Amazon (as so often seems to be the case with purchases on here these days).

Great simple device, stops from forgetting to turn off hose. Much easier than the complex electronic models

We have a hose to top up a large pond. One of these in series is a back stop "off" lest we forget and leave the hose on too long. I've had at least three of this model. One blew out in frost (my fault - should have brought it indoors for the winter) but the other two the timer mechanism just stopped - bearings on the balance wheel erodes - metal on plastic. They cannot be relied upon for more than probably 60 - 80 hours of down-counting. Built to a price not a spec. However, I now replace them annually to maintain system reliability.

The product enabled the controlled watering of plants both in the greenhouse and outdoors very successfully during the fortnight away from the house. The unit proved to be easy to set up and reliable. The ability to regulate the watering to alternate days and for short periods dispensed with the need to attempt to regulate individual outlets to each plant which had failed for me repeatedly on previous holidays. Overall an excellent piece of kit.
