Great for home automation
This item is just great, it is 13 Amp, so practically any household appliance works normally on it. Microwave, Electric oven , dish washer, dryer, just anything.It works just plug and play. The timer functionality is great for home automation, where you can set 8 timers each can switch on and off at a preset interval. The timer also can be set to run at specific days of the week, either weekdays, or weekends, whole week, Even weekdays, or odd weekdays, so it practically covers everything.
The unit looks nice, so you can keep it all the times in the socket.
Manual control of the socket is also possible by means of a button. So, by this you can always keep the unit connected, and control the socket from the switch.

Good product
I've been very pleased with these digital timers. They're easy to setup and use, and can be used for security (lights/radios coming on at set times) or energy efficiency (e.g. wireless router automatically switched off overnight when not needed). I've been using them for 6 months on a daily basis and they work just fine.

There are many choices for the timers, so you can have them come on for certain days, weekdays only, weekends only (lots of other combinations), and you can set several on/off switching periods e.g. weekdays at one time, weekends for another. There's even a "random" function (which I haven't used) which varies the switch-on times, for security purposes.

One useful touch is that they have an internal battery that keeps the clock at the correct time, so if there are any short power cuts while they're in use, their own clock is kept at the correct time. This means there's no risk of having things switch on/off at the wrong time after a power failure.

If the LCD isn't on when you first get them, make sure you charge the internal battery overnight then press the "master clear" button - this will switch them on.

They're a very good product, not exceptional though which is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. One very minor issue is that if you use the switch to move between "auto" and "manual off" or "manual on", if you switch back to "auto" nothing will change until the time moves "through" the next timer point. In other words, if they're set to switch on at 6pm and off at 12pm, and at 7pm you switch from manual off to auto, they won't switch on until the next day at 6pm. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of.
