MasterplugTMS24-MP Energy Saving Daily Mechanical Segment Timer Plug, White

We purchased a couple of these for our different sets of Christmas lights. There work 100% as they should. Easy to set up. Only drawback is they are a little loud, especially when turning on/off they give a loud click. But apart form that, when they are on there is a very faint ticking sound, which you can only hear in a silent room. Overall great purchase.

I have used Masterplug products for years and find them generally well made and easy to use.

If you are looking for a timer that synchronizes with the NASA's nuclear clock, then I'm afraid this won't be for you. If you want something to turn on roughly at some given time, and then turn off at roughly some other given time, then it's perfect.The dial is too small to be overly accurate when it comes to setting the time (unless you can judge by eye a quarter of a degree angles per minute for a tiny dial) so if you're desperate for accuracy, or are trying to perfectly synchronize it with other timers, then this is most certainly not for you. Your best bet is to set it to the nearest quarter of an hour and go from there – and it will reliably do what it’s told day in day out.The actual mechanical switches are flimsy, difficult to differentiate and set, but with a little effort there's nothing really wrong with the timer. Of course this is under the assumption that it is for a basic non-time sensitive application. We use it to start a lava lamp in the living room, and despite my best efforts it turns on 4 minutes late. But honestly? Who cares. The duration of time it will be on will be perfect, but the actual initiation time will vary depending on patience.We haven’t had any issues with loss of time, although it if strays too far it can be twisted back to where it was fairly easy. The sound to us is inaudible, but having used a variety of timers for various applications over the years, I know that they can drive you up the wall if you are in a truly quiet room at midnight – so don’t take my endorsement as gospel.The build quality is decent, but clearly wouldn’t stand up to frequent and regular changes, but for everyday tasks it’s perfect. It doesn’t take up too much room in the socket and you could easily place plugs, or even other timers, next to it (as the pictures show.)Overall, decent for the price and if your uses are limited. For time sensitive and similar tasks I’d go digital.

Good price- does the job.
