Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic TN711C Security Timer
Customer Review: A useful gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought my first Intermatic Security Timer about nine years ago, and just bought a replacement, because the original was starting to lose time. At this low price, I don't mind replacing it every nine years. I've been very happy with this timer. I use it to control a lamp in my bedroom, and have never noticed any clicking or buzzing, as other reviewers had noted. In the winter, I set it to go on when I get up in the morning and off when I leave for work, and to be on when I get home. Of course, I use it when I go on vacation. The security feature is the variable timing, so I don't recommend it for anyone who wants it to go on and off at the same exact times.Customer Review: Doc Brown would love this
Summary: 1 Stars
This timer is easy enough to set, and would probably work fine if it didn't think time had stopped. The clock never moves. Other than that, it works just fine. If I change it to the time it supposed to go off or on, it goes off or on, depending on which time I change it to. The manual on/off switch works, too.
For the price, it isn't even worth the time to return.
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a basic timer that performs its function adequately. Only criticism I have is that the clock timer mechanism can be a little too easily moved by an inadvertent movement when you are holding the unit.Customer Review: Functional but noisy
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good, functional, basic timer. We have several. They work well. However, the mechanical gears make a racket, at all times. The gears can be heard from more than 20 feet away. These devices are not recommended for bedrooms or other areas where a person seeks quiet. In bedrooms and our den, we are replacing mechanical timers with digital timers.Customer Review: Great price for a no-frills gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
Plug it in and off you go. Super simple to use and operate.
Build quality is not bad considering the price.
If you look closely at the photo, this unit only has a socket to accept a 2 prong plug. Its listed as being great for auto-switching lighting which is true as long as your lights have only a 2 prong plug. Unfortunately mine are the 3 prong type (even though the lights themselves aren't grounded), but a voided warranty, a drill and 5 minutes is all it takes to fix that (obviously not advised if you need a grounded outlet!!!)
