It is the second one I buy in 10 years! Really a very good economical choice! It withstands the rain!

It has many watering duration options compared to others on the market, but it is more difficult to use than the older model.

I have 3 devices. The plastic broke on one in 2 years and on the second in 3 years. The third device still works. Unfortunately, the plastic that breaks is not available as a spare part, so the whole machine needs to be replaced.

The plastic broke and the rubber flew off, resulting in water running at full pressure. Luckily, I was home and managed to prevent the worst. I wouldn't want this to happen when I'm away from home or on vacation. However, while it was working, it did its job. Very difficult programming.
