Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton 612-6230M-W Decora 30-15-10-5 Preset Minute Electronic Timer, White
Customer Review: Great switch
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great little light switch. No problem installing (it has a green for ground, black for hot, and two whites for each neutral wire).
Cons:
- LED is a little dim, so it's hard to see without bending down right in front of it.
- The unit itself is pretty big, so it's a real tight fit in the old switch box, especially with all the wires in there. The wires coming from this switch are quite long, so you may want to shorten them to give yourself some more room.
- No "always on" button. I understand that'd defeat the purpose of the timer, so this isn't really a con, but sometimes that 30 minutes just isn't long enough :)
Overall I'd highly recommend it. Great way to save a bit of electricity and wear on the exhaust fan when we forget to turn it off.
Customer Review: Leviton 612-6230-W timer switch Functional but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
The switch works as expected. However, the screws that came with it is cheesy. The head is slotted and different gap than standard slotted screw. I threw them away and got my own. The specification or someplace should've mention that this switch works only for certain wiring. I was lucky to be wired the way that it wants. Power, all three wires, have to go to the switch first then to the fixture for this to work. Make sure this is your wiring before you buy it otherwise the switch won't for you otherwise.
Once it's installed, it works great. However, I only had it for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will last a while.
Customer Review: works nice.

Hooked this timer to my bathroom fan. Already had modular style switches so it blends in well with other devices. Installed easily (make sure you have neutral wire available in your box). Works properly. Always left the fan running for a lot longer than I needed, so this was perfect solution. Cost of unit is pretty high, so going to take a long time to recoup cost in utilities savings.Customer Review: Works great

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: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This switch has worked great, I think we've had it for 4-5 months without problem. I recently bought a second one.
Set up was very easy, it's been installed for a bathroom fan, 2 way circuit.
I only wish they had a button so that the fan could stay on indefinitely (i.e. plain old "ON") in addition to 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes.
