Never worked right from day 1Date: 2009-06-25 Rating: 2 out of 10We bought this under the Vigoro name at Home Depot. Got it home, installed a brand new battery in it, and hooked it up. I set it according to the directions. I wanted it to run every 3 days, coming on at 9 am and running for 2 hours.
It came on once, at 12 midnight, and ran for 30 minutes. I reset it the next day, installed another brand new battery, again set for 3 days, on at 9 am, run for 2 hours.
That night it came on again at 12 midnight, ran for 30 minutes.
This is a hunk of junk and should NOT be purchased. I just hope Home Depot will take it back... that's $30 or so I'd like have back.

BewertungenWaste of time...erDatum 2009-06-19 Rang: 2 von 10Is it possible to select less than one star for my rating?? Bought my first one at Home Depot. It worked like a charm until I connected it to the spigot. So off to Home Depot to foolishly exchange it. Got home and did a quick program and could hear the until switch on, so I figured I was good to go. Wrong! Put it on the spigot and it didn't do anything. Messed with it for a while longer trying to see if was me that just didn't understand how to program it, but it wasn't me. It was this worthless piece of junk. It's going back to the store tomorrow for a refund. I'll get something better. Vigoro should be ashamed of making / selling something this bad. I should have read reviews before buying it.Do Not BuyDatum 2009-06-16 Rang: 2 von 10I bought mine under the "Vigoro" brand name at a hardware store, not thru Amazon (the design is identical, down to the programming). This lasted for about 10 months before it stopped working. I opened up the battery compartment and it was flooded with water. I let it dry for a good three days before putting in a fresh battery. The numbers came on, I programmed it, hooked it up, but no dice. The valve never worked again under automatic mode, only manual mode. Inlet brokeDatum 2009-06-08 Rang: 2 von 10After a year of use the inlet broke off- luckily while I was screwing the hose in. Bad news if it breaks while you are not there! I couldn't return it to home depot because of the time so I decided to check it out... the part that "broke off" seemed to be a press fit... there was no broken plastic, little indication of glue. The press fit just seemed to come out- not good at all.
I decided to use some epoxy and repair the unit... something that melnor should use in the first place!
Also it's a bit funky selecting the program on/off... I have to press the button multiple times to get it to respond.Not very watertight for a unit designed to be out in the weatherDatum 2009-06-03 Rang: 4 von 10I travel out of town often on work related business. I bought this item to run soaker hoses in my garden while I was out of town. During one trip, I had a multi-hose manifold break and send out a shower of water for several days. The Melnor timer got wet, and even though the battery compartment has a waterproof gasket and the unit looks to be weatherproof, the LCD screen fogged up and stopped working. This could just as easily have been a heavy rain that caused the problem. Beware if you buy this unit. Keep it sheltered from heavy downpours.
