• Long Lasting DT17
  I purchased an Intermatic timer that looks exactly like this one at Home Depot years ago, when I first saw that digital timers were on the market. This was at least 12 years ago. I liked it so much I bought a second one about 8 months later. The difference I see is that my model is DT17, not DT17C, as is listed here. Perhaps changes were made that lessened product life, perhaps not. Mine were also made in China.
  I've used these to turn on cassette recorders, which then start recording automatically.... more info

• Mine Worked For A While
  The digital timer model I had was the DT 17, not the DT 17C. It sounds as if they got worse with "progress." I really liked the DT 17 initially, so much so that I bought two more. They had three appealing features to me over the old-style (and less expensive)manual model: One, you could set a precise time, digitally, rather than guess "Oh, is that 6:54 P.M.?" Two, the battery backup worked great. Power goes out and one thing you didn't have to worry about when resetting the thousand clocks in your home was... more info

• DOA - I'm Returning It!
  I ordered this in hopes it would be more reliable than units available in hardware stores. When I got it, I tried to program it. I followed directions, but could not get the unit to work AT ALL. Don't waste your money.

• Unfortunatly Unreliable Timer
  No longer a "Made in USA" product.
  My DT-17 timer worked great for about 4 months controlling night lights (small resistive load)and apparently the internal contacts failed. Timer keeps going - but no longer controls the internal switching relay. I've now scratched Intermatics OFF my buy list, as their production has moved to China and their Quality Control appears to have left the country as well. These guys use to make quality products/timers - - but those days are unfortunately gone
