Outdoor Power Stake, 7-Day Programmable Digital Timer, 6 Outlets, 6FT Extension Cord, Waterproof Perfect for Christmas, Halloween, Garden Decorations, ETL Listed

These are great. We needed a multi-plug timer for Christmas lights. These are well made and seem durable. The timer was super easy to program and works well. They have a two-part spear that is easy to assemble, screw into the base, and then insert in the ground - even with a dusting of snow today. I like the large cover that allows the cords to come out the bottom.

Nice outdoor timer. Works great and easy to use.

I LIKE IT!!! Good quality and functionality. Easy to use, lightweight and easy to program.

It works perfect and the digital display makes it easy to setup and adjust on / off times. For me, the only drawback is the power cable, it should be a little longer (at least 3ft longer)

I used the outdoor power stake for powering our outdoor Christmas display this year. It replaced an old Westinghouse model. It worked very well; kept accurate time and never gave me any issues. Easy to program; the manual on/off is easy to access and use as well. There is a large opening for the 6 power cords to go through so that the cover is able to be closed. I plan on using this for years to come.

This power stake is well made and sturdy. It can be used with or without the stake. I especially like that the pole screws in, instead of just pushing it. There are 6 outlets, so I can plug lots into it. (I actually am using all six outlets right now!) The cord is heavy duty. The unit is supposed to be waterproof, but that seems to be a misomer. There is no lid covering the outlets when in use, so I placed a plastic bag over the whole thing for wet-weather use. The unit has a remote control, so it's been very easy for me to turn it on/off, or to program it, right from my living room window. I currenty have it set for dusk to dawn, but it can also be programmed for x hours, up to 8 hours. I think the price is competative, and I recommend it.

This had one of the largest internal capacities I could find. Unfortunately it was just a tad bit shy of being large enough for the ground fault plug for our pool pump. I'm sure with any regular plug for anything not equipped with a ground fault plug it would be perfect. There are spring loaded doors that would seal any normal plug wire. I took that feature out (a couple of tiny screws to remove, so if need be I can put it back in) and inserted a rubber membrane to keep the opening sealed. Everything else on this item was perfect for my needs. It also has a small tab for locking it closed (I used a zip tie). UPDATE: If you are using this with a pool pump (or anything with a GFC plug) the GFC will trip every time the timer shuts off. Defeats the purpose of having a timer. After a lot of research online I learned that by replacing the GFC plug with a heavy duty outdoor rated 3 prong plug the timer will function properly. But because of safety concerns one should NEVER run a pool pump without a GFC. I replaced the GFC plug with a 3 prong plug and took the GFC plug and put it on the timer wire in place of the 3 prong plug. That way I have GFC in the circuit. The advantage here is if I use the timer for other outdoor things (lets say Xmas lights or ornaments) it will have a GFC. Win Win. DO NOT do this unless you are very sure of your abilities to CORRECTLY and SAFELY change plugs. DO NOT simply splice in wires using electrical tape. Install the wires inside the plugs where they are protected from the elements. Electricity CAN AND DOES KILL....

This is a great weatherproof timer with multiple outlets and generous internal space allowing the cover to close completely, shielding the outlets from the weather even with power cords connected. It comes with a plastic stake which has adequate strength to penetrate the ground (even my clay soil) and support the timer. The timer was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly. It controls a pump motor without difficulty. I am pleased enough with it to order a couple more.
