Best Electrical Timers of 2025

"I've purchased six timers because I loved the first set so much. Simple to use and very versatile! I do have a couple of minor complaints: one prong on one timer is stuck, so I have to work around it, and the plug for the chicken coop light is too large to fit under the dial, requiring a short extension cord. Despite these quirks, I whole-heartedly recommend these timers!"

"Initially, I found these timers a bit tricky to set up. The key is to pop all the black sections up first. I bought two sets for two different houses, and all four have been working great for almost a week now. Once I figured it out, they work really well!"

"I travel frequently, and these timers are perfect for powering lights or security cameras. They prevent batteries from overcharging and work quietly and efficiently. I've found them to be a convenient solution for my needs!"

"I found these timers perfect for my Christmas tree and living room lights. With the time change, I appreciate not coming home to a dark house. Highly recommend this product!"

"The timers worked just as described, and I love that they don't block the other outlet. They’ve been a real lifesaver for my indoor gardening lights, allowing me to set and forget!"

"I received my order on time, and the package was well-presented. The instructions were clear, which is a pleasant surprise for me. They’ve been working well so far, and I think it's a great product for the price!"

"I’ve had these timers around my house for years. I recently bought new ones to replace some noisy ones. I set them to turn different lights on and off at various times for security when I'm away. They’re small and easy to program."

"I really like these timers! I initially bought them for a couple of Christmas lights, but now I have more lights to manage. They automatically turn on at set times, and I appreciate the option to switch between timer and always on. They're easy to adjust, although you might want to keep the instructions handy."

"These timers work perfectly for controlling my fish tank light. I’m really happy with their performance!"

"I've purchased three different timers like this, and they all work perfectly. The side outlet design is a game changer, leaving other outlets available. I mainly use it for my phone charger to prevent overcharging. Each button is easy to understand and dedicated to a specific time."

"Overall, this device is simple and effective. I set it up for my e-bike, which I can't leave plugged in overnight. It works great—I just plug it in, select the time, and walk away. Good value and silent operation!"

"I often forget to turn off my thermal hair brush, but this timer plug is the perfect solution. I got two—one for home and one for travel—and it has made my mornings much easier!"

“I bought this to replace the inner piece of an older model that stopped working after decades. The inner piece came right out and fit perfectly in the original box! Great product and I hope it lasts as long as the original did!”

“I didn’t want to replace the whole wall box when my Intermatic timer died. This was the cheapest option and relatively easy to swap out the new innards for the old ones after watching manuals and YouTube videos.”

“So far, it’s working as it should. Intermatic has been a leader in the timer industry since 1935. Very trustworthy, it was used as a controller for exterior lights in our church.”

"I needed a few timers for my Christmas lights, and these work perfectly! I have four of them, and they’ve been great. I’d definitely recommend these timers."

"I prefer these timers over the ones with a digital display. They are simple to set up and they perform as expected."

"Setting them up to be in sync was a bit of a challenge, but overall, they do a fantastic job."

"I bought this timer for my golf cart charger, but it didn't operate as expected. However, it works great for my outdoor lights, so I’m giving it a 5-star rating. It's easy to use and well made!"

"I purchased this timer to control our pool pump. The setup was straightforward, and I love that the dial is easy to read. Now it runs at night when rates are cheaper!"

"This timer is perfect for our fountain on the deck. It operates flawlessly, and I even bought two more for Christmas lights. It's very well made and protects against the weather."

"I find this product great; it has two three-prong outlets which is safer due to grounding."

"I've been a loyal customer; my last one lasted 45 years with daily use, and I'm happy to report this one is still working well after 1200 cycles."

"I bought this set for the holidays and needed extra timers. While three of them worked perfectly, the fourth had an issue with the 'timer on' option."

"I found the setup to be very easy. The quality, size, and functionality are all great in this product."

"Programming the unit was simple, and it only takes up one outlet unlike most timers. I love that I can just set it and forget it. They even have backup batteries, which is perfect during power outages!"

"I decided to replace my old indoor timer with this one. It's silent and easy to program. So far, it's been a fantastic improvement, and I’m curious to see how long the battery lasts since it’s not replaceable."

"I've found this product to be extremely helpful in delivering hot water to my kitchen quickly. I can set my hot water circulation pump to run 3 minutes on and 22 minutes off for twelve hours, which keeps my family happy and saves on boiler usage. The setup directions were a bit tricky, but the device works well and is a great price compared to other options."

"I'm really impressed with this little timer. It has more features than I originally expected, including a continuous on-off cycle that I use to keep my old Mac laptop's battery charged properly. While the user instructions weren't the best and the interface could be improved, I managed to figure it out with a bit of tinkering. I also appreciate the quiet operation and the built-in battery that keeps everything programmed during outages."

"I purchased this timer for my bearded dragon's aquarium, and it works perfectly with a 12-hour on/off cycle. The setup was very straightforward and I couldn't be happier with how it operates. I highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable timer."
