Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton 612-6230M-W Decora 30-15-10-5 Preset Minute Electronic Timer, White
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 4 Stars
Installed in a new construction bathroom to control the bathroom fan. Mounted it between the toilet and the shower so it is easy to access from both. Works great. Was a bit hard to fit into the electrical box with the incoming and outgoing wires, but I managed to get it all stuffed in to the largest single gang box sold by the local big box home improvement store.Customer Review: Works well, but it's HUGE
Summary: 4 Stars
I've installed three of these in my home, all controlling bathroom exhaust fans. The switch works great, and it's been wonderful not to have to remember to turn off the fan. (Or, even more importantly, not to have to remind the kids to do it!)
In each case, the switch is in a dual-gang box. The switch is so deep and wide that it can take some serious wire origami to make it fit. It'd probably be fine next to a standard light switch, but in my bathrooms it was going in next to another Decora switch, and, in one case, a Decora dimmer.
In all three cases, I had to remove the breakaway parts of the metal shield. (On a dimmer switch, this would remove the maximum amperage it could handle. I assume the same happens on this timer, although the manual doesn't mention it.) I had to remove the breakaway parts on the dimmer switch too. Even with all that, in one box I had trouble getting the switch in because there was a small amount of conduit sticking into the box from the side; the timer was so wide that the few millimeters caused a real problem.
If you're putting this in a single-gang installation, you'll probably have a much easier go of it. But it sure would have been nice if they provided dimensions and details on how much of the metal shield you can break off.

Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to install, easy to use. I wish it was a little cheaper but it feels like quality construction and based on the feel and design I have no doubts that it will last. Only one small complaint. The LED indicator lights are hard to read from off axis. I wouln't hesitate to buy this again.Customer Review: works but takes up a lot of space
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product for the exhaust fans in my bathrooms. One crappy thing about this switch is in a double gang box the thermal plate on the switch intersects a regular switch and the double gang plate won't fit over the two switches. In order to get the plate to fit you have to overlap the timer and the regular switch. In a single gang box I had to trim the wires in the box way back to make room for the ridiculous depth this timer takes up. Overall, I got every one of the switches to work, the electronics work just fine, the real problem is with getting them to fit.
