I wanted a sprinkler timer that's simple to use and works great. My other one lasted 40 years. I noticed this new one was a bit faster moving from screen to screen. I don't need the new "fancy" ones that tie into my phone, etc. Has 6 stations, and 3 programs so you can set different days and length at your whim.

Very good value. Easy to program and gives me all the zone flexibility that I want. I bought this to replace an identical three zone timer that has been serving reliably for more than 5 years.

Picked up an amaz* warehouse 6 zone unit that appeared to work. However, when solenoid valves connected, ALL BUZZED loudly (not normally). Thought was faulty valves but three? So tested valves (using an easy diy test using three 9V batterys) and valves were fine... meaning something is wrong with the voltage output (or something internal) from this controller.After looking into more reviews, decided to go with a Rain Bird controller instead. Returning/ed.

Orbit is a funny company. Phone support is good but you have to wait for it. No call in, get service. Call in, wait a day or more for a return phone call. OK, better than nothing, I guess.This unit isn't that simple. The instructions are not the best. Easy enough for the basic but of course, the programming I wanted is a little more involved.It is a pretty solid unit. If you do some reading, you can install this easily enough. I think I would have preferred the BluTooth, WiFi version. You don't have to go outside and fiddle with it to program it. Spend the extra money, I think it is worth it. I am getting more into doing things over my computer or phone than standing in the backyard playing with this stuff.I gave it a 3 overall because the Tech Support takes too long and the instructions are not that clear. This one is replacing a previous ORBIT that died on me. It was kept indoors, not outside and should have lasted much longer, in my opinion. We will see what this one ends up doing.

Bought this controller to replace an old 1. Set up was easy, worked great for the 1st season. Last year it was spotty then started running 2 cycles back to back. Just stated watering this season and its doing the same thing. Don’t recommend!

My Rainbird timer has been slowly dying and I needed to replace it. I was looking for a timer for an outdoor location without a lot of bells and whistles to control my 6 zone sprinkler system. Oh yeah...and I didn't want to pay a lot for it. The Orbit 57896 seemed to cover everything I needed to do and the price was very reasonable.My old timer was hardwired, but the Orbit comes with an attached cord and plug. What to do? I could have cut the plug off and hardwired it, but there was a problem with that idea. The conduit holes (one for power, one for the low voltage valve wires) in the old timer box were a different spacing than the Orbit, so I would have had to re-do the conduit. I also liked the idea of having an outdoor outlet box in the area where the timer was located, so that tipped the decision.I discovered that the circuit breaker supplying power to the timer was not a GFCI breaker. Since the location is outside, I had to either replace the circuit breaker or use a GFCI outlet. I decided that the safest approach was to replace the breaker. I cut the PVC conduit and replaced the old junction box with an exterior outlet box with a weather proof cover. The one thing I don't like about the design of the Orbit timer is that the line cord is not sealed where it exits the box. I sealed it with caulk to prevent water entering the box in a windy rain storm.I number of reviewers have dinged this timer because of programming issues. I found the instruction manual to be very understandable and the unit easy to program (YMMV). Setting the time is a little annoying, but I should only have to do that once a year when replacing the battery. Here's a tip: before I installed the timer outside, I programed it sitting comfortably at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee. Plug the unit in, pull the strip that activates the battery and you're ready to program. When you unplug the unit and install it outside, the battery allows it to remember the program. Once you hang it and connect the wires, just turn the dial to "Automatic" and you're good to go.You will have to decide how often you want to run your system. Conveniently, the Orbit 57896 allows 3 different options for this: by the day of the week, by a fixed interval or by odd or even days. Once the unit is programmed and set to "Automatic", the display alternately shows the current date and time and then the day and time of the "Next Start", so you will always know where you are in the cycle.Pro: Rugged design; easy to install; easy to program; big, east to read display; can be used either indoors or outdoors; great priceCon: Box not sealed around the power cord
