Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic TB121C Digital Tabletop Lamp and Appliance Timer
Customer Review: Quickly Uses Up 2 LR44 Batteries
Summary: 3 Stars
It seems a shame that Intermatic decided to minimize the initial cost of this product by powering the timer circuit/display with 2 LR44 batteries, which appear to last, at most, 3 months before they need to be replaced. Depending on where you shop, repowering the unit will cost $1 and up, so that you quickly spend equal the cost of the timer in batteries.
A product which included a power supply for the display and digital clock circuit which runs on the 110 V mains power being timed would have been far preferable.
Otherwise, this seems a well designed product.
Customer Review: Alright, second time around
Summary: 3 Stars
First one ordered didn't keep time accurately. Good ol' Amazon works like a charm though!!! 5 stars! I returned it and got a new one immediately! Now it works fine. Just as described. Nothing too amazing though. I use it as an alarm since it is really dark outside in the winter and it helps wake me up. However, it would be cool if it slowly dimmed the lights on and off.Customer Review: Why the batteries?????
Summary: 3 Stars
A great product, easy to use and it works well for small appliances. My issue is with the batteries. Its plugged into a wall outlet. It is a stupid design to require batteries-which by the way seem to only last about 4 monthsCustomer Review: Lamp Timer
Summary: 3 Stars
This replaced a very old non-digital timer that was no longer accurate. I found it a little difficult to set correctly but it is working very well.Customer Review: looks questionable
Summary: 2 Stars
It is a beautiful good sitting on the table. Easy to set time of day and times you want a light or appliance to start and stop. Problem is that the batteries (takes 2 button size which were priced at $6.99 each at Batteries Plus) seem to run out within
a year or so and the cost of a new unit vs. new batteries is pretty much the same!
