RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer, Programmable Water Timer for Garden Hose, Outdoor Soaker Hose Timed with Rain Delay/Manual/Automatic Watering System, Digital Irrigation for Yard, Lawn, 1 Outlet

I couldn’t be happier with this sprinkler timer! The RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer has made watering my patio plants so much easier and more consistent. I have quite a few plants out there, and before this, it was a daily chore trying to keep up with everything—especially during hotter days. Now, I just set the schedule and let the timer handle it.The programming is straightforward, and I love the flexibility between automatic, manual, and rain delay modes. It’s been super reliable so far, and I’ve noticed my plants actually look healthier since they’re getting watered on a consistent schedule.I specifically use it with my patio setup, and it works great with my hose—no leaks, no hassle. If you’re looking for a simple, effective way to automate watering (especially for a patio full of plants like mine), this is definitely worth it!

Update: RAINPOINT made it rightOriginal review below — updating to add that RAINPOINT messaged me a few days after posting my review, even though my most recent timer had failed a year past the warranty. They said they'll send two replacement timers, even though I was past the warranty on both of them.In a time when customer service is lacking — I recently had a negative experience at Nordstroms — this stands out. Amazing that they reached out...I wasn't even expecting a response.Original ReviewI'm on my second one of these. Bought the first in 2022, kept it in a shaded spot on the side of the house, never exposed to direct sun. Worked great for about two years, then one day the screen just went blank. Figured it was the batteries, popped in a fresh set, nothing. Timer was just dead.aI liked it enough when it worked that I bought another one rather than switch brands. Same setup, same shaded spot, no direct sunlight on it at all. Sure enough, almost two years later, same exact thing happens — screen goes dark, new batteries didn't bring it back to life. At this point it doesn't feel like bad luck, it feels like something internally just isn't built to last.When it's working it's a good timer — easy to set up and all features work like they should. I just wish it held up longer, because right now I'm looking at buying a third timer in 4 years.

My Plants Now Have a More Reliable Caregiver Than MeI bought this timer for one simple reason: I’m too lazy to water my potted plants, and it’s entirely too hot outside to pretend I enjoy doing it.Every summer, I buy plants with the best intentions. I carefully place them in pots, admire how nice everything looks, and promise that this time I will be a responsible plant owner. Then the Texas heat arrives, it feels like the surface of the sun outside, and suddenly watering them becomes a problem for “tomorrow me.” Unfortunately, tomorrow me is just as lazy and equally unwilling to walk outside carrying a hose.That’s where this timer came in.Setup was easy, the controls were straightforward, and once I programmed the watering schedule, I officially transferred responsibility for keeping my plants alive to a small electronic box attached to the faucet. It has already proven to be more dependable than I am. It doesn’t complain about the heat, it doesn’t forget, and it doesn’t look outside and decide the plants can probably survive one more day.Now the water turns on automatically, the plants get exactly what they need, and I can continue supervising the entire operation from inside the air conditioning. Occasionally, I look through the window to make sure everything is working, which is basically the gardening equivalent of upper management.The timer feels solid, connects easily, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I especially like that I can set the schedule and stop trying to remember whether I watered yesterday, two days ago, or sometime during the previous presidential administration. There is also no more standing outside holding a hose while mosquitoes eat me alive and sweat runs into places sweat was never intended to reach.My plants are happier, the soil no longer resembles concrete, and I get to take credit for having a beautiful patio despite contributing almost no daily effort. That is the kind of gardening arrangement I can support.If you are a dedicated gardener who loves spending peaceful mornings carefully watering every individual plant, this timer will still be useful. If you are like me and believe plants should receive excellent care without requiring you to leave the air conditioning, this thing is practically essential.Five stars. It keeps my plants alive, protects me from the heat, and has successfully automated the only part of gardening I was consistently failing at. My plants may think it is their real owner now, and honestly, they’re probably right.

programing was easy to set up and it arrived in just a few days, and a good price point, my only concern is that there is not an override to run the water on demand, is working so far so good

This sprinkler timer is easy to program and straightforward to use. Setting up a watering schedule is simple, and the automatic watering and rain delay features are very convenient. It feels durable and well suited for outdoor use. A great choice for keeping your lawn and garden watered without having to do it manually every day!

Easy to program, easy to use, and works excellent for when vacationing. It's been all summer and I haven't even needed to change the battery! I like that I can bypass it for a quick hand watering need and it automatically goes back to when it should water next. This hooks up nicely and we've had no leaks. The display is easy to read, and so far, the button printing has held up well without eroding. My garden thanks you!

I had the previous version of this product and used it for quite a while before it eventually failed. This new version is a major improvement.The removable battery tray now uses AA batteries instead of AAA batteries, the display is much easier to read, and the unit is very simple to set up and use. They also include an extra strainer for the inlet, which is a nice bonus.Overall, this is a much better design than the older version. Very happy with it and highly recommended.

This was very easy and intuitive to set up. I needed it to schedule a drop line while on vacation for a week and it worked as intended. I didn’t have to worry about my plants being watered for a week in the Texas heat as this has been consistent on a schedule.

Recibimos el temporizador automático en perfectas condiciones, protegido únicamente por la caja en la que se presenta y se agradece encontrar un film plástico en su pantalla digital que asegura lo recibamos sin ninguna marca. Antes de comentarles aspectos sobre el temporizador, ya les puedo adelantar la mayor crítica que he encontrado, y se centra en su manual de instrucciones que no viene en español, un detalle que no puedo llegar a comprender el comercializar un producto en España y no añadir instrucciones en ese idioma.El temporizador está construido totalmente en un plástico que se aprecia de mucha calidad y resulta convincente la anotación que encontramos en la publicación del producto, cuando indica que está realizado en un plástico de grado industrial.En su parte trasera, dispone de una tapa que podemos retirar para insertar las dos pilas de tipo “AAA” que no vienen incluidas, esta tapa cumple de forma muy fiable la estanqueidad necesaria para evitar una posible entrada de agua en este compartimento.Lo que más me ha llamado la atención es su facilidad de uso, con todo lo necesario y bien pensado para poder gestionarlo sin mucha complicación. Esta tarea sencilla se consigue gracias a su dial rotatorio en el que podremos acceder de una forma simple a sus principales funciones, para intentar facilitarles la comprensión en su manejo les indico las funciones principales de su dial:Set Lock: Para establecer la hora actual.Start Time: Se establece la hora de inicio.How Long: Podemos seleccionar la duración del riego, desde 1 minuto hasta 3h 59 minutos.How Often: Nos permite escoger la frecuencia pudiendo escoger de 1h a 23h o de 1 día a 7 días.La instalación resulta muy elemental, tan solo tenemos que enroscar en el grifo escogiendo una de las dos piezas que ya vienen colocadas con sus respetivas juntas tóricas y tendremos el temporizador colocado sin encontrar fugas de agua. Tan solo puedo transmitir mi experiencia con las pruebas realizadas durante dos días, su funcionamiento ha resultado exitoso y tan solo me queda la apreciación en cuanto a su durabilidad.Con anterioridad ya he tenido ocasión de probar un temporizador de una marca muy conocida en el entorno de la jardinería y aunque no existe una exagerada diferencia de precio, este temporizador cumple de la misma manera que el que he tenido, con la diferencia de ofrecer una mejor experiencia en cuanto a la facilidad con su manejo.

funciona como se menciona en la publicacion

Was looking for an automatic watering system for my garden. This was an amazing product and easy to set up.Has been monitoring it for the past weeks and it never fails to impress me. No leaks even with high pressure from water pump and super easy to setup in less than a min.

Vorgestern bestellt, heute schon geliefert bekommen - ein dickes Lob an Amazon/DHL-Logistikteam!ich habe eine Serie von Fotos gemacht, um einen ersten Eindruck von diesem Gerät vermitteln zu können: Unboxing, Batterieeinsetzen, Uhreinstellung, Anschluß am Gartenwasserhahn und Erstinbetriebnahme.... in 10 min. läuft so weit alles. Die Bedienungsanleitung braucht man wirklich nicht.Das ganze macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Beim Einschalten macht der Ventil einen kleinen Knack, das Wasser fließt dann sofort - ohne merklichen Druckverlust. So weit funktioniert alles wie aus der Produktbeschreibung.Manualler Betrieb ist etwas umständlich weil man mehrere Tasten drücken muss, aber es geht. Anders als in manchen Rezessionen falsch beschrieben, die Zeit des manuellen Betriebs läßt sich mit +/- Tasten hoch- bzw. runter setzen, also kein Problem.Programmierung ist sehr einfach, allerdings in der Flexibilität/Varibilität etwas eingeschränkt - für die meisten Anwendungen m.E. ausreichend.Garantieanspruch läßt sich von 2 auf 3 Jahre kostenlos verlängern, Sie brauchen nur ein E-mail an den Händler schicken und die Verlängerung aktivieren lassen.Bleib abzuwarten wie lange die Freude an diesem Gerät hält.

Il programmatore funziona con 2 pile mini-stilo AAA (non in dotazione). La programmazione è intuitiva e veloce. Il manuale di istruzioni è in inglese e tedesco. Ruotando la ghiera si può accedere alle varie funzioni. Una volta impostato l’orario, possiamo scegliere l’ora in cui iniziare l’irrigazione e per quanto tempo. E’ possibile anche scegliere quanto spesso farlo attivare (ogni x ore oppure ogni x giorni).Si può anche accendere manualmente (ed in questo caso il programma si attiva per 9 minuti).Posso inoltre ritardare l’avvio (per esempio in caso di pioggia) del tempo desiderato.Sempre ruotando la ghiera posso metterlo in posizione OFF per spegnerlo. Sono davvero soddisfatto e lo consiglio.
