I'm using this to control a low-voltage gas fireplace. I was worred that it would make an obnoxious ticking noise, but that's not the case. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I am very pleased with the operation of these mechanical timers. I had installed the electronic timers in my other bathrooms but, this one bathroom did not have a common wire available so a mechanical timer was the only solution.

While you can hear the timer if you make a deliberate attempt to hear it, the timer is very quiet and is no louder than a quartz wall clock.

The timing feature is highly accurate.

This timer is the perfect replacement for the old bathroom vent fan wall switch. Before showering you just give it a twist and the fan runs till it times out. The new standard time for bathroom vent fans is recommended at a minimum of 20 minutes after the shower water is turned off to help prevent mold and mildew buildup on the bathroom walls from excess moisture in the air. This timer works great for that. If you need to run the fan for other stinky business you give it a small twist. It is working out very well for us. It was easy to install (just like changing a light switch, but make sure to follow the directions that are included.)

Honest reviews on Intermatic FD2HW 2-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

I built a timer control for my Rigid rechargeable battery charger. I destroyed two batteries by leaving them in the charger for a week. Charger is not suppose to do that but after that incident the batteries would loose charge over night and eventually died. Warrantied the lifetime batteries. So I used a 4 square electric box, a cover plate with a duplex receptacle and rectangular opening for the Intermatic FD2H, and a 6 foot 14-3 gauge cord with grounded plug. Through all this in the blender and out came my timer controlled portable ac outlets. Other than the timer all parts were scrounged from my garage. The Intermatic FD2H timer has been around for years so it should last for a long time. In the future will make a similar device using the cheaper Chinese made Woods 59013 Decora Style 8-4-2-1 Hour Electronic Timer.

Timer stops counting down while switch is on, making this an infinity-hour timer rather than a 2-hour timer. If your intention is to use it to, for example, turn off the coffee pot automatically so that it doesn't burn down the house, look elsewhere: either for a more reliable timer, or a replacement house. The problem is a mechanical one: the mechanism used to tick off the seconds simply stops due to insufficient spring tension, or excessive friction on the moving clockwork parts. I attempted to solve the problem by introducing a drop of watch oil in various locations... no luck.

I will not buy another similar product from this company.
