Review title: poor product compared to alternative
Product review: I have gone through five of these both at my own house and that of a relative. At first I though they were OK even if they were cumbersome to set up. But only one of the five provided reliable service for more than two years. None would work reliably with CFLs beyond the first week. I didn't realize how much better a wall switch timer could be until I bought Aube T1071. Now I wonder why I ever bothered with this Intermatic. When I read some of the reviews praising the Intermatic EJ351C, I have to wonder what other products it is being compared to. The Aube is so much more logical and easier to set up. The caveats on the Aube T1071 are:1) it requires a neutral wire in the electrical box2) it requires a "decora" switchplate (switch plate with large rectangular opening)I do not have enough experience yet to say how longlasting the Aube is, but just in terms of set up and operation, it is far superior to the Intermatic.
