Review title: No improvement over the old model
Product review: I used four Intermatic timers of this type over the past twenty years. They were easy to use (only one programming mode), reliable, and durable. This model is a step down from them. There are several programming modes, making the instructions more complicated and causing much doubt as to which mode is operative and whether or not the programming is successful. In addition, it is too easy to make unintentional contact with the switch when programming, causing mistakes. I have learned the idiosyrcracies of this timer and can use it now. I don't understand why Intermatic didn't leave well enough alone and continue the older, simpler model. I don't recommend this switch to a newbee; find another model.
