I bought this timer to use for a turtle tank. I had just gotten two baby turtles and wanted to give them a 12 hr day/night cycle. But even after setting the days of the week right and had 1ON at 7:00 am and 1OFF at 7:00 pm, it failed to turn on in the morning, but turn off just fine at night. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and kept re-reading the manual and watching videos on it, but it still wouldn't turn on by itself, in the morning. I know it was supposed to automatically turn on and off, but it just wouldn't. Even one night after the turtles were in sleep mode, I took it off and tested it in a few minutes intervals to see if it would turn on and off by itself and it did, so I was really confused then. So, I switched the timers back to 1ON at 7:00 am and 1OFF at 7:00 pm and same thing, didn't turn on in the morning, but turn off at night. I was about to give up, until I looked at the pictures of programming them and they are all aways off by a few minutes or hrs, never the same time am and pm on both. So, guess what I did. I changed the 1ON to 7:05 am and 1OFF stayed at 7:00 pm. It finally turned on by itself and turned off, too.
I'm not sure anyone has or had this issue, but something to think about, for sure. After finally figuring it out, I like this timer and has been working ever since.
Edited a few weeks later: it stopped working again at those time sets. I don't know why. I set it so the programs would alternate from Monday to Friday 7:05 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday to Sunday 5:00 am to 6:00 pm, since I work earlier on those days. You know like 1st program Monday to Friday, 2nd program Saturday to Sunday, repeated on the next programs. I wonder if it's because the programs match the same time periods as the other ones, just like how it didn't like the same time for on and off. I think I will try resetting the times on them to be off by a minute or two and see if that helps. I will add more after I figure this out.
Edited again: so, it was that. Now, none of the programs have the same time set on them, being off a minute or two and have been working perfectly ever since.

Functions are Great, but Defective Battery?
TL;DR: The product has good features but the battery of one of the timers failed (see image). Though it still functions, the timer no longer keeps time when disconnected from power. Since the other 5 I've purchased are fine, I suspect a defective battery in the affected unit.More Comprehensive Review: Overall a good productBack in May 2023, I purchased 2 sets of 2 for a total of 4 timers. The functionality offered by this product is perfectly sufficient, though programing the timer can be confusing at first — fortunately, the manual is easy to understand and provides well-written examples. The Daylight Saving Time (DST) feature that allows you to adjust the time forward/back by an hour is very convenient and well-appreciated. The accuracy of the time may drift off slowly, but it is not noticeable — a few minutes over several weeks. This may depend on the quality of the electricity service in the area. Over the summer, each of them kept time through several power outages caused by thunderstorms. After several months, I purchased another set of 2 timers since the original 4 were working well.Later Issues: Internal Battery Backup Defective?With winter approaching in November 2023, darkness was arriving sooner, prompting me to reprogram the time in coordination with sunset. Because it is difficult to see the display of these timers while they are plugged into an outlet, I usually set the on/off times while they are unplugged and in hand. This is feasible as the backup battery keeps the unit running. Unfortunately, one of the original 4 timers I purchased in May immediately lost power and was making a rattling noise. I investigated the issue by removing the rear cover and found that the internal rechargeable Ni-MH battery had inflated, causing the separation of one of its contacts (see image). The battery was fine when the timer was new, but failed several months into use — it is NOT user replaceable. Although the timer still functions, it no longer keeps time during power interruptions. I suspect the battery is defective, given that the other 5 are still working fine.
