Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic TN711C Security Timer
Customer Review: Great product for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
No one broke into our house, so it must have done its job. We needed seom simple timers when we went on vacation and these were a great value and very simple to use. The "fuzzy" start/end timing was a nice feature, allowing the start and end time to vary a half-hour from the exact time marked on the dial, to throw off burglars who might be watching the house.Customer Review: Works good, simple to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Very basic timer. Works as advertised. My parents have a simliar timer built on the same winding clock mechanism and it's been working for 30+ yrs. I think it's better than the ones you need to replace a battery.Customer Review: good timer, but has "clicking" sound
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great timer. It turns things on and off, which is what timers like this are supposed to do. It's not accurate down the time minute, but is close enough, if you are turning lights on around the time when it gets dark outside or using it for security purposed, when very accurate timing might actually give away the fact that your lights are on a timer.
The only downside I have with this timer is a light "clicking" noise, which sounds like the timing mechanism or something within the timer. Everything still works, but it's not exactly "whisper quiet."
If you are using this in a situation where you need total silence, such as a bedroom you are sleeping in, you might want to look at a non-mechanical timer.
Customer Review: quality very low
Summary: 1 Stars
We use it in my son's room to turn off the light after he's asleep. We've had it a few months and now it's making a constant buzzing noise. It's so loud I don't know how my son gets to sleep each night, but he doesn't seem to mind it. I would. It's a very annoying sound.Customer Review: works
Summary: 5 Stars
works great... not to-the-second reliable, but if you're aiming for 10pm and it goes off at 10:01, you're not gonna be upset, right?
the unit plugs into the wall, with a receptacle on the right for your lights/fans/etc. The wall-plug is grounded, so you CAN'T flip it upside down. SO if your outlet doesn't have a lot of clearance on the right hand side, uh-oh!
the red tabs turn stuff off, the bluegreen ones turn stuff on. I had some Xmas lights plugged into this, and had it set up to turn on at 6am-8am, and again from 3pm-10pm. Worked exactly as expected.
One caveat - the unit gets warmer than you'd expect. not too hot to hold, just warm.
