Seems to work well so far. Not the easiest thing to use without a user guide, but so far Ok. We'll see how it holds up over time--other brands of irrigation timers lasted less than a year.
MEGAN -- oakdale, CA   11/19/2011
We had to send this item back because it didnt work for our house. The seller was very prompt and gracious during the return
ELAINE -- houston, TX   11/15/2011
Very pleased with the product. It is easy to use and works well. It would be great if it had a waterproof cover to protect the controls. I covered the controls with a heavy duty yard bag and that keeps it dry.
DONALD -- west islip, NY   9/24/2011
Added for extra water monitoring in lawn areas requiring special low and high watering on varied days/times. Set and forget it. Am now enjoying a lush growth without time consuming days/hours of constant hand held hose watering. At age 75, this is very important feature, allowing freedom to get on with more important aspect of having a life to live to fullest.
ANH TUAN -- gatineau, QC   9/9/2011
In general, this system performs well. The configuration and programing are simple and I had my yard watered on the programmed times. One weak point I found is the power consumption : Two AA batteries are used to feed the entire system operation, including commanding the water valves, which does not provides sufficiently power. The batteries quickly run out of power after only three runs then the valves are not able to open when they are commanded to do so.
BAO -- sugar land, TX   9/1/2011
Used it for about 1 weeks now. It works as expected. Farily easy to program.
DOUGLAS -- atascocita, TX   8/31/2011
A low cost alternative to a buried sprinkler system. The timer is easy to program and has worked perfectly since it was installed. I ran 1/2 inch UV resistant gray PVC coduit pipe on the surface to buried rotary sprinklers (one per valve) and used PVC female hose thread connectors on each valve. I did have a problem mounting the timer. It did not clear the hose bib valve knob and the support rod would not reach the wall. I used a hose Y fitting mounted vertically, and connected the timer to the lower arm of the Y. That got the required clearance and a more vertical position that allowed the support rod to reach the wall.
RALPH -- ralph, AL   8/14/2011
The system provides an excellent alternative to digging up the ysrd. The instruction sheet was written by someone unfamiliar with the english language.
HAROLD -- jonesboro, AR   8/8/2011
a great item to water your lawn while you sleep turns on and off with timer. the only drawback is it only uses one valve at a time but that is not a bad thing you still have full water pressure to each sprinkler. I think that this is a gread device for watering you lawn with hoses. SMARTHOME is a great place to buy from fair priceing and fast shipping.
RODRIC T. -- waynesville, NC   8/6/2011
I have used SunMate for several years. Have a total of 4 and just had to replace 1 perhaps a year or 2 old. I find SunMate easy to use and program, although there was a bit of a learning curve. I was disappointed that the unit I replaced had failed (seemed to be water in the battery compartment) but after shopping other brands decided to stay with Orbit. The units are very versatile and installation is a snap and run, at least for me. In one case I buried the half-inch piping for a 25-foot run, with no problems. I don't give it 5 stars because of the problem with the one unit that had to be replaced. But I replaced it with Orbit, which says something. Oh, I buy all my pipes, tubes, sprinklers, etc. from Orbit brand. They aren't losing money on those things, but they work and are very sturdy. And Smarthome was a good, prompt seller; no surprises.

GARY -- north royalton, OH   5/6/2011
easy to program ; could use a check program function
TIM -- chilliwack, BC   4/25/2011
Fast delivery & best price. Beat Home depot & Lowes hands down.
Sprinklers.iFind2.com -- Houston   5/13/2011
I install sprinklers and we use this all the time. This is a FANTASTIC timer, actually truly the BEST IN THE MARKET. I'm not affiliated with Orbit, infact I don't even like some of their products, but this one is incredible. They do NOT go back, they last a long time, they are so easy to use and so easy to see when you are setting them. Truly excellent. 5 stars, no 10 stars.
Jim Speiser -- payson, AZ   4/29/2011
So far I've owned two of these and they've both gone kaput. The first one, the timer went out after less than a year. The second one, the endcap simply blew out and is nowhere to be found. I'm working on getting a third one from the manufacturer, because it's such a useful product, I'm hoping that my experience is just a fluke. Just FYI.
