Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Timex Easy-to-Set Electronic Timer
Customer Review: Simple, Effective While it Was Working
Summary: 2 Stars
The Timex electronic timer is a convenient gadget for controlling lights and appliances. With basic functions such as current time and a single event timer, the Timex electronic timer can easily control one or more electrical devices.
Unfortunately, this particular timer is lacking in a few areas, which would otherwise make it simpler and more powerful. For example, it would be helpful to have a set of colored LEDs indicating the timer's event status and override status. Being a wall timer, which effectively locates the user interface very close to an electrical outlet, it can be difficult to reach. "Table" electronic timers are much easier to place as the interface is located several feet from the IN (power) and OUT (control) receptacles via an electrical cord with one extra conductor.
With the recent focus in energy conservation, consumers are often using electronic timers to reduce their electrical usage. In my case, I use my timer as a third alarm clock. Connected to a very powerful full-spectrum light box(Sunray by Sunbox), it is set to fill up my bedroom with light, five minutes before my alarm clock(s) are set to go off. Additionally, it engages a powerful speaker system connected to a digital audio source. In this arrangement, the timer serves as a multi-sensory wakeup tool.
While the design appears solid and robust, I have not been happy with its longevity. About a year after purchasing the timer, it stopped working. There is no physical damage. Moreover, opening the unit revealed no fuse nor obviously damaged components. This isn't a problem, however, as I have decided to upgrade to a table electronic timer for easier access.
