BN-LINK Heavy Duty 60-Minute in-Wall Spring Wound Countdown Timer Switch for Lights, Mechanical Switch Timer for Bathroom Exhaust Fan, No Neutral Required, Wall Plate Included, ETL Listed, 1 Pack

Arrived on time and well packaged. I installed each in the shower rooms to replace faulty timers. Installation was relatively easy. both timers are in and work well.

Where do I put it?I wish it had a little longer timer than an hour.Like three hours would be better, but I guess I don't make those

My sister-in-law has used these for a while to operate 12V and 24V DC fans in her off-grid home, so I picked one up also to control a strangely-designed bathroom fan that runs low voltage DC (from an internal PSU) down its switch legs for lighting & fan control. That's a big compatibility problem timers that need 120VAC to run, but not for simple clockwork mechanical designs like this one. If you do use one on DC, as with any mechanical switch, to avoid a shortened service life, the contacts should be de-rated to account for DC arcs causing more wear (no zero-crossing to quickly cut them off). Anything up to 3A should be fine, maybe a little more. In my case, that weird fan combo only sends down a 5V control signal at a few mA, so there should be essentially zero electrical stress, only mechanical wear. Hopefully the mechanism will last a long time. Like others have mentioned, the in-wall portion is physically large and needs a lot of width and depth, and so may not fit into all boxes. It makes a tick-tock sound while counting down, like an old fashioned wind-up clock but faster. While it's not terribly loud, some might find the sound objectionable, especially in quieter settings, like the bathroom off a master bedroom where someone might be trying to sleep. If you manually turn off the load early by twisting the dial fully counterclockwise, power is cut off immediately, but the ticking can take another minute or so to stop.

If you've ever used a digital timer switch and had it fail within months (as they are apt to do), come to the other side: mechanical spring-wound switches. This solid timer switch has little that can fail. As mentioned in other reviews, the unit is large and bulky. Even in my spacious one-gang box, I had to be creative to fit the wires. But, with timers, that's normal with these switches. But one thing I really didn't like: the protective plastic film requires you to remove the switch and the bolted faceplate to remove it. And the plastic is so tightly applied to the switch that it takes a long time to remove. I was wondering why the unit has stranded wires instead of the usual copper wires. Maybe all timer switches have stranded wires? In any case, I found them challenging to deal with. The operation is amazingly easy. Just turn the knob clockwise and let it go.

Timer was easy to install. We had a dual faceplate with separate paddle switches for the bathroom light and fan. I was able to install the timer using the existing faceplate since the timer fit in the space used by the paddle switch. it was a tight fit getting the timer into the electrical box but it worked. Now we don't have to remember to go back and turn off the fan, the timer does it for us.

Save your money and spend a little more to get a Lutron or reputable brand with all metal internals. I bought two of these for closets. One failed after exactly 1 year. The timer won’t stay on and it snaps to off immediately now. Internals are all cheap plastic. Poor lifespan and no warranty that I can see.

Extremely simple install, our home is older and thus is missing neutrals and grounds in all the switches, this worked perfectly took 5 mins to install works fine.

This was a really easy 2 wire install and while i didn't need the different colors of backing plates or the knob, it was nice to see they were thinking about it. For those who sometimes forget to turn off the bathroom exhaust fan, those are some really small electric motors, this timer will let you select an amount of time, turn the knob and forget about it, the device will turn it off. It has performed flawlessly for us.

buen producto

Tal como lo describen.

Funciona de maravilla... Fácil de instalar... Se lo puse a una secadora de ropa...

Buen producto aunque tiene un detalle estético

Muy útil cuando tienes que programar un sistema de llenado
