Not the best timers, setting up is complicated

Very useful and inexpensive.
Relatively easy to program and offer quite a cheap alternative to others sold individually.

Does The Job
Bought for the Christmas tree lights, once you get the settings worked out in your head, then easy to set up, would be nice to illuminate and have slightly larger display to read without glasses, overall they are a good buy.

Timers that work and are quite
This is my third triple pack of these timers, the instructions take a bit of studying to get right but otherwise I’ve been very pleased. Unlike the traditional electro- mechanical ones these are silent - a joy!

Good timers but need improvement.
Countdown timer works really well which is what I got these for. The units are quite tricky to programme and the displays are very small and need to be bigger. Once mastered though the units work very well.

Watch out for the random setting!
Good value for money once they're set up. Not as quick or easy to set than some of the 8-button types I have but once set they work fine. Just make sure the random setting isn't on else you'll be wondering why they're not working as you've set them.

Great value for money
Excellent value for money, these are great for our Christmas lights as they turn on & off at a pre set time.

Hello non24,
I can advise the following for the Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers:
It won't remove the memory of the timer, you will press it once and it will then work like a switch, on/off.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello non24,
I can advise the following for the Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers:
This does not do anything to the unit. You can do as described if you wish. Not its intended function but understand the reason, they should save with them being digital.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hey Spanner,
I can advise that the timer is an on/off switch and is not designed to control dimmable loads.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there. As long as your slow cooker does not exceed the maximum of 2400 watts, then this would be fine. Thanks for using Q and A.
Hello There.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Triple Pack 7-Day Electronic Timers.
That warning is a legacy note from the time when “energy-saving bulbs” meant Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). CFLs require a high-voltage start-up pulse to energize the gas inside the tube. This surge can feed back into the timer’s electronics and damage it.
Modern LED energy-saving bulbs do not have this start-up pulse. They draw a steady, low current and are generally safe for use with electronic timers. In fact, LEDs have proven to be a much more reliable load for these devices.
You can use the timer with your lamp if you switch to LED bulbs instead of CFLs. This will give you the same energy-saving benefits without risking damage to the timer.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi brightlight, thank you for your enquiry.
The Random function operates between 6pm and 6am, randomly choosing a duration between 1 and 30 minutes then a function from either on or off, at the end of the duration it does this again and continues to do this until 6am, so potentially it can switch between zero times (if it always chooses off) and 720 times (if it changes state ever time and only selects 1 minute for each duration).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Perri, thank you for your enquiry.
There are 10 available timer slots in these timers, so you could do this ever hour for nearly half a day but _not_ 24 times in a day.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Rick, thank you for your enquiry.
The reference to 7 days is only that this is the repeat period, rather than every 24 hours, the timer will actually continue to perform the programmed on and off events for as many weeks as it is plugged in and in Auto mode.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Crina, thank you for your enquiry.
The TES7 (our code for this timer) has a maximum switching capacity of:-
10A (2,400W / 2.4kW) of resistive load or
1A (240W / 0.24kW) or inductive load
If your Challenge Oil filled radiators fall below these maximums then the are suitable for use in conjunction with the TES7.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Rob D,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The timer is not designed for use with CFL lamps. However, it is suitable for LED bulbs, and we have not received any reports of issues when used in this manner.
