My power went out. I have 3 hanging Edison lights in the corner of my living room. They r on a timer that has set them for 10 yrs. The timer is a digital tooooo many choices and buttons for me to play with. After about 7 attempts to get is set again I gave up. I went to this manual timer which I do not need to save the directions for and All is right in my world again, This timer is easy to set and forget- for us not to patient with the hold this button down and tap that one - hold your face this way and pray types. Yes I am telling my age, and some of this stuff is just not easy for me to figure out. I like this new one, and in 10 more years I will be able to reset it. Thank u for this product.
