Orbit 62061N Single-Outlet Hose Watering Timer, 1 Outlet, Green

I just realized I bought this thing 5 years ago. It still works! It's been used every summer, I don't think I've ever had to change the batteries. It has been left out on the garden spigot for all that time in summer and winter (in Florida, how are the batteries still good?). It's easy to set up and does exactly what it's supposed to do.I'm buying a replacement only because our garden is bigger this year and I need one with 2 hose hookups. I'm getting the same brand and hoping for the same quality.

It was great until it stopped operating the valve. All the program settings were still there but it just wouldn't turn the valve. It displayed a low battery indicator, despite only having run once a day for 2.5 months. I replaced the batteries. The battery compartment had water in it despite appearing to be well sealed. The battery indicator was still low and it still would not operate the valve.I was depending on this to water my plants while I was away and my plants were near death when I returned. Some were dead while others were shriveled but still green and may or may not recover.I looked up Orbit's warranty. They have a website with a chat bot that takes down your information and then says it's sending a gift card to your phone with a code for a new one at the Orbit website. The gift card number it sent was "None" and it did not work to purchase anything. I tried to talk to the chat bot again but it had vanished. I reloaded the page and went through the same thing again, then complained to the chatbot but it did not respond after saying it was sending me a gift card. Not sure I want another garbage timer that's going to kill my plants while I'm away.In short, get this timer if you want to invest years into grafting and growing your own plants only to have them killed when you go on a trip because the irrigation timer failed. I added a photo of one of them taken after I'd gotten to work in the middle of the night trying to resuscitate them instead of sleeping before work tomorrow. I'm glad I checked them as soon as I got in instead of waiting till the next day, but still extremely upset about this. I think orbit should buy me replacement plants at least for this but it still wouldn't really replace them because these are my plants that I grew from seeds and grafted myself. If they can even get the same kinds, those would be plants someone else raised.These are my babies. Those bastards hurt my babies!Update: Almost all my plants look like they've recovered well. I managed to speak to a human at Orbit and they are sending me a replacement. I took apart much of the broken one. It was full of water inside. The vulnerability appears to be where the LCD screen mates with the housing. Pushing the battery compartment in and out creates pressure that squirts water out around the edges of the screen. I'm going to put something, maybe epoxy, around the edge of the screen to try to prevent rain getting in to the new unit.

I have 3 of these,and I bought 1 more. The quality is excellent! They last about 5 years or more. I use them to water trees,garden veggies, and grass. Love that I don't have to water all these places,on 5 acres.

I bought this in March 2021, it failed on April 2025 with the valve open position. I wasaway on vacation, it wouldhave continued to irrigate for days if not weeks. The equipment mentions not to use thistimer when temperature is 120 For higher. But, I have no choice but place the timer where it is exposed to sun. If you think 4 years of life span is good then buy this. I will look for other brands, but this one still appears to be better than the others.

good product
