Of course there is in any hardware store, furniture store and discounter timers for a few euros. But honestly - how much we have of it in some boxes in the basement and in the garage. And if you even need one? Instructions way battery for the clock empty, expired. Display unreadable. The small plug away for Zeiteinstetllung. Yes, so I felt good. And now I finally learned it: timer / timers are "Thebes" - end of discussion. I've already noticed when unpacking immediately - completely different quality than the "hardware store goods". The setting is very simple. The tilting pads for setting can not be embarrassed and lose. For "on / off" to 3500Watt the ideal solution - easier and faster as it gets. Who week programs needs (ie x-day so, y-day so) needs a different timer. But again, I would only take Thebes. Everything else does not come into the house to me. It's like with the cheap tools from the hardware store - in the long run it's worth not. The timer has reliably taken out their service even over the winter - but for the outside it is not intended - and not necessarily copy. (Humidity, water). I had it outdoors in a dry area - but minus 20 degrees have the timer did not mind.
