Very Pleased
I bought all three timers for my house. I first got the one outlet and loved it. I then got the two outlet and loved it. I finally bought the three outlet. All three of their products work so easy. Not confusing. I tried the melnor 4 zone and returned it because it was too complicated and didn’t do what it said. I will buy these again. Great product, well made, and super easy. The only thing I got confused on was I thought it was 3 zone but what’s cool is the first outlet is Manuel so u can still get water without detaching ur timed hoses. On the side u flip it on and off. I was initially disappointed but then was happy to have it because I still have access to my outside faucet. Buy it u will be pleased.

Love this thing! So convenient!
Able to program two separate stations. Works well. This replaced the exact same one I had for a few years until the calcium in my water made it unreliable. When this one finally gets too gummed up from Our hard water I’ll buy another. Also convenient to have the extra port for using a water hose.

Well Built; Odd Quirks
The Orbit 3 Outlet Digital Watering Timer is a great value at less than half the price of many competing products on the market. I did a fair amount of research before I settled on this particular timer and have not been disappointed. Although I used the product for only several months this summer to help keep my newly sodded lawn alive, it was dependable and worked as advertised. The unit is extremely user friendly and no manual is needed to understand the settings. Note that only two outlets are usable as timed outlets...the third outlet is available only as a manual override watering option. The only drawback is the lack of time settings...each outlet allows for every 6 hours, every 12 hours, every 24 hours, days, etc but for some unknown reason the outlets cannot be set for an exact time outside of those settings (for example if it is 9AM now and you water, the only next watering times are either six hours later (3PM) or 12 hours later (9PM.). Nevertheless, it is a very good unit and has held up so far; it is rather more substantial and heavy than expected so make sure you mount it to a wall, or have it supported somehow (mounting hardware included). 5 out of 5 stars for build quality and ease of use with 4 stars for odd timing capabilities. However, I recommend the unit as its ease of use and build quality easily outweigh its minor quirks.

Works great, easy to set up
Almost had to give this 3 stars, but fortunately I read the description carefully before buying. It does indeed say it has 2 programmable valves and one manual. I wanted 3 programmable, but they don't seem to make them. At least I knew what I was getting so...5 stars. Very easy to program, had the whole thing set up in less than 5 minutes, including the time it took me to toss the unread instructions to the side. It's been hooked up for 3 weeks now and is working without a hitch. I have it place in a covered bin buried in the yard so I does not have direct contact with rain, but is exposed to humidity, insects, and dust(sand). Seems to handle the weather fine. As with any electronics, I would not recommend placing this in a location fully exposed to the elements, you would probably shorten its life expectancy dramatically. It has 3 valves and all work fine with no noticeable drop in pressure from the 3 way split. Heavy duty plastic construction, and large LED display. No complaints at all to date. I will update the review as needed.

Device Failed 1 year and 4 months later
It worked great for 1 year, 4 months, but in all fairness, I had it exposed to the Eastern side of my house which gets intense sun every morning. I think the electronics eventually got fried in the sun. It completely malfunctioned, meaning I couldn't even set the time, let alone set up the timers (length of time, zone, time to water, etc). I called Orbit customer support and I sent them the Amazon invoice for proof of purchase. They gave me a $75.00 coupon. I bought other products from Orbit. I won't buy this sprinkler/timer again. I will however, cover my new Sprinkler timer (that I bought from a competitor) with cardboard to "shield" it from the morning sun.

Great / Simple Reliability, Poor reliability / internal design
Very poor product quality combined with very poor customer service. All of the functionality is great with this device - it's easy to use, easy to read, and works well......until it breaks, and then you receive miserable customer service trying to deal with it. After roughly 4 months of use, the thing started leaking like a sieve from inside the housing. I pulled it apart, and one of the 3 solenoids had stripped or backed out of the main manifold. Amazon replaced this unit promptly for me......and after another 6 months of the new device, it failed in the exact same manner - leaking like a sieve. This time, Amazon did not replace it and referred me to Orbit. Orbit technical support then told me that they had nothing to do with manufacture of the device (even tho the unit has "Orbit" logo all over it, including in the Amazon pic), and sent me to P3 International. P3 International had never heard of the product, and didn't have record of the product model number. So, call back Orbit and sit on hold for 1 hour. Issue is still not resolved. Unless Orbit hits a home run in customer service resolving this issue, they will be on my "boycott" list going forward.

After doing some research I chose this digital watering timer from Orbit. Turns out I did good. I chose the 3 valve version to make it futureproof. I needed a watering timer to save my veggies in summer while I was away on summer trips. This timer has a solid build and is very straightforward and easy to use. The functions are clearly labelled and easy to control. The display is very big and clear and tell you exactly what is configured. Mounting was easy as it came with a steel rod to attach to the wall to secure the timer. I am using the timer in combination with the Andrews 50-Foot 2 Tube Sprinkler Hose 10-12348 and it is working well. I have set the timer to turn on at 7 AM every day for 7 minutes every 12 hours. Although this is a 3 valve timer, only 2 valves work with the timer and the third is a bypass valve. I have been using this timer for 2 months and it is working so well I seem to have forgotten about it. The timer is big and I have covered it with a cloth to avoid any attention from curious passerby. This timer gets the job done.

This is a fantastic outlet and very easy to set up and use. It features nice big writing so it is simple to see from a short distance away. I love that I can have a separate hose to use manually without disrupting the timers on my watering system.
