BN-LINK Outdoor Power Stake Timer, 24-Hour Mechanical Timer, 6 Outlets

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.

Excellent outdoor timer. I bought 2. (for front yard & backyard fountain). Timer was easy to set. They work GREAT! Best of all it has 6 sockets in the power box that are enclosed, which keeps the plugs dry from rainy weather or sprinkler systems. The extra plugs come in handy when installing my Christmas lights. I don't have to worry about extension cords all over my yard. I also use the convenient extra plugs when I'm using my power blower or power tools. I would buy this product again and I give this a 10 out of 10 rating.

So far I have bought three of these for various reasons. I use two with high end glow lights and one set all year around in my wife's garden. In each case the units do exactly as needed and have stood up to being moved around and have stood up against storms from all seasons. The only quark is the latch. Its very very tight. Because of this if you read other reviews many people have said it wont close. In reality it can, but because it closes with very little wiggle room anything that might get in the way makes it hard. I learned to make sure not to over stuff the box. Placing the cords to line up properly with the lower sliding slats to ensure its not getting in the way. Using ties to help compact the wires helps as well. After that I just make sure she snaps. Once done its good to go.

I've had this installed for a couple of weeks. Saved me having to dig in an electrical line and set up an wet in service outlet, plus it has six connections. Worked great, protects plugs from rain. I live on the top of a hill with plenty of wind driven rain. None made it into the plug area. Plenty of room for standard plug and cord. Nice that they are horizontal. Tight if a power transformer were used. Added a waterproof Twist and Seal (a great item also) cord protector to extension cord to BN-Link to seal the deal. I have not tried the timer since small pond pumps are on 24/7. Spike went in to the soil fine, no issues. The insides are dry and the spiders love it. Not spider nor bug proof. What I like about this is that the plug is shielded from the weather. Water always wicks into the other types with the plug exposed to weather and causes shorts in my extension cords. I'll pick up a couple more to run some pipe heater to an outside line and the water trough heater for the winter. This is an inexpensive item that works so far. My only cons are I would like to have 20A instead of 15A and a little more separation between the plugs. Item definitely earns a five star rating.

The first unit shipped to me worked for two days and failed. I ended up giving the product 1 star and wrote a negative review. I was busy with the holidays and life and didn't bother returning the defective unit and just chalked it up to a loss. What impressed me, and why I am updating my review to 5 stars, is the level of customer service I received. I started receiving not one, but multiple emails from the company asking me how they could make it right and they offered to ship a new unit. I felt like they went out of their way to contact me after seeing the review to make things right, and in the end, they did. They shipped me a new replacement unit immediately. So yes, the first unit did fail. And while that's never good, we all know things like this can happen with any product we buy no matter how big, small, expensive or inexpensive. Sometimes you're just that unlucky person who gets a lemon...and in this case, I was that person. But the impressive commitment to following up insistently to make it right really impressed me. So far, the new replacement unit has been working fine. It's nice to see a company take so much initiative to right a wrong. And for that reason, I would buy from them again knowing that they back their products.

Great for holiday decorations outside

Nice outdoor timer. Works great and easy to use.

This is a very good timer. I like the setting sliders better than my old mechanical timer that gave up the ghost after three nights of Christmas lights this year. One minor complaint: It's hard to see the "time of day" indicator when you're trying to set it. This is especially important if you're trying to sync with another mechanical timer as we have to do. And one major complaint: My old 6-outlet timer had a lid hinged at the top, with two 2" deep slots at the bottom/ground edge of the cover to feed cords through. I use heavy outdoor extension cords and it was relatively easy even with the thicker cords to curve them toward the slots at the bottom, slide them into the slots, and get the cover to latch closed. Not so with this one. They designed this cover with SIDE hinges and a little three-slot gizmo at the bottom with three sliding doors to feed the wires into. The problem is trying to close the lid from the side at the same time as holding multiple cords in the correct position to go into the three sliding-door slots. You'd need four hands to accomplish this. I was in a hurry to get this set up when I received it, so I didn't try to MacGyver anything. This timer sits on our covered front porch where the GFCI outlet is, so I just set it on a chair, connected the cords, and left the lid open. It's not much exposed to rain so we've had no problems with it that way. After we take everything down, I plan to see if I can remove the frame that holds the little sliding doors. It appears it's either screwed or riveted in, and if removed, it would leave a nice size opening for the cords. I'll black tape it if I need to waterproof it. Bottom line, a nice timer at a decent price for a moderate outdoor display, but be ready for the quirks.

Excelente producto

This will take care of everything in my pond. Lights, pumps and other items. Nice to have the cables all organized and on one timer. As I wanted the lights to be on vs a separate timer I added a cabled timer to one of the six spots so the lights would only come on at night. Works like a charm. Recommended. Arrived quickly. The box was a bit crushed but the item inside was okay

I used this for my Christmas lights last year. It was stored in my shed the rest of the year. I went to use it for Christmas lights this year and it doesn’t work any more. It only worked for 2 months. EDIT: updated to 5 stars. Company promptly responded to my email and is sending a replacement. 5 star customer service and product support.

Es grande y me alcanzó para todas mis conexiones exteriores de luces navideñas del pino y casa, 3 inflables ..monitoreo x cámaras y se prende y apaga perfecto.

Exelente opción versátil y muy fácil de utilizar
