Summary: Works great!
Comment: I used this product all summer with an air conditioner hooked up to it. Since it accepts 3-prong plugs, it was exactly what I needed. The timer works perfectly as well and saved a lot of energy.

Summary: Didn't Work
Comment: I bought two Intermatic Time-All Model No. TN311 from True Value Hardware in Moab, Utah. I tried to use them last night but they didn't work. The circle does not revolve so that the off and on settings don't advance and do anything. All they did was to get hot so I unplugged them after an hour. I was afraid they might cause a fire. I went back to the store today and they opened a new package. I asked them to plug the new ones in while I left the store for about an hour. When I came back they gave me two of them (my original two or the two new ones?) and said to try them out but that if they didn't work properly they would give me an upgraded version. The two the store gave me today also don't work. The store said there were no safety recalls but I know they did not check on this. The items were used with a 3 prong grounded outlet. The circle can be turned by hand so that none of them are frozen into position. Apparently the motor in them is defective, missing, or not connected. All of the timers will turn off and on a lamp if the circle is turned by hand.

Summary: Best timer I've found yet
Comment: While I can't vouch for the build quality of this timer (it feels cheaply made and I'm not sure how long it will last), it works well, is easy and simple to use, and is silent. Being silent is important to me because it's annoying to hear buzzing especially if you are using it in a quiet room.
In my case, I use it on my refrigerator so that I don't hear the fridge on when I'm watching a movie on my HDTV in the living room (which is in close proximity to the kitchen).
I don't use any red 'off' pins on the timer and just use the manual switch to turn off the fridge before I start watching a movie. Then I turn the dial so that the green pin is about 2 hours away, which nicely turns the refrigerator back on two hours later.
This setup works very well for me and my food doesn't suffer any. Before I got this timer, I used to turn off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator but I would forget to turn it back on! Needless to say, this timer has been a life saver in that my fridge comes back on and my food doesn't spoil like it did when I forgot to turn it on manually.
The fact that this timer has a 3 prong plug is also a plus because many of the non 'heavy duty' timers only have a 2 prong plug.

Summary: Works fine
Comment: I own two of these and I really like I can set two periods of time a day. I have them plugged into lamps and have not experienced any over heating.

Summary: short life
Comment: I own 2; one quit after a month, the other continues to work after 1+ years. At least these timers are quiet, even when they work ;-)
