Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic TB121C Digital Tabletop Lamp and Appliance Timer
Customer Review: Useless for appliances
Summary: 1 Stars
This product cannot be used with any appliance that has a three-pronged plug. That the product description does not mention this is negligent on Amazon's part.Customer Review: Useless on most items
Summary: 1 Stars
This item does not work with any item that has a ground.
Therefore it is useless on anything but lamps.
Customer Review: WORTH THE $
Summary: 5 Stars
I like these timers as they are easy to set, are very accurate and have battery back-up, which allows accurate timekeeping during power outages.Customer Review: Why the batteries?????
Summary: 3 Stars
A great product, easy to use and it works well for small appliances. My issue is with the batteries. Its plugged into a wall outlet. It is a stupid design to require batteries-which by the way seem to only last about 4 monthsCustomer Review: Will buy another one, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a timer on a cord, and this is one. It has a clear, larger display. And setting the two on/off times is almost intuitive. (You need not use both settings.) Unit is quiet, unlike some cheap mechanical timers. And I liked the price.
Here's the slight catch. One would expect that you plug your lamp (or whatever) into the timer. Unfortunately, you plug the lamp into the back of the timer's wall plug. This necessitates pulling out any furniture further from the wall so as to not crush the plugs. I can see that Intermatic designed this setup to avoid (among other things) another set of messy wires on your end table.
I will buy another one.
