I have this timer pleased with her running now for 1 month and am. I bought the clock because it uses less than 1 watt of power in normal operation. This I let me confirm by AS-Schwabe. Other watches consume some 5 - 6 watts of electricity. That was too much for me. Setting the timer worked without major problems. Those who follow the Din A4 manual step by step, so that has really no problems. The timer runs at us with 4 circuits to do so far without problems. What I have to complain about is that is not even mentioned in the Operating Instructions, including the RES / RCL button on the top right well. So far I have this but not even required. The fact that the car is not operating at all times equal to the setting corresponds to the Auto mode, although appears a small negative point is worth. However, who will comply with the user so that really have no problems. I'm going to buy this clock again, to automatically turn other devices also.
