What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title states 13A 3200W, while the detailed rating says 13(2)A, 3200W. Listed dimensions also differ between 7.5D x 8.5W x 13H centimetres and 12.3 x 7.2 x 7.2cm. The title and pack fields indicate three units, while another listing field says four items. Confirm the selected pack and relevant rating and dimensions before purchase. Customer feedback is mixed on timekeeping, noise and adjustment, and includes a report that the timer uses a single socket.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People wanting repeatable daily on/off scheduling for indoor lights or other compatible appliances.
- Buyers who prefer a mechanical timer with a manual Always ON option.
- Households seeking several timers in one pack.
Less suited to
- Anyone who needs confirmed precise timekeeping for a time-critical schedule.
- Buyers needing confirmed compatibility with adjacent sockets or a specific appliance load.

Customer feedback highlights ease of setting, compact size and perceived value, but reports on timekeeping are mixed, with some saying it loses time and others saying it does not keep time. Noise and adjustability also draw mixed comments, while one customer reports that it can only be used in a single socket. These concerns matter for a mechanical timer whose daily schedule depends on accurate timekeeping and whose compactness does not guarantee that neighbouring sockets remain accessible. Aggregate ratings are generally positive but do not resolve those specific concerns.
Positive themes
- Customers describe it as easy to use and set.
- Customers appreciate its compact size and report good perceived value.
Negative themes
- Customer feedback includes concerns about timekeeping and a report of single-socket use.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on noise and adjustability is mixed.
