Negative Positive
Title: Fried after 3 months
Review: I purchased this outlet timer based on the previous review and was VERY happy when I received it. It had all the features I wanted:1. two grounded outlets2. room so when it is plugged into a 2-plug outlet, you can still usethe second outlet.3. very easy to program4. battery backup (we have frequent power outages)5. quiet operation (the mechanical ones I find quite loud).In my searching, there is nothing else on the market that has these features. I also purchased one of the cheaper,non-grounded Woods models.Everything worked beautifully until our last power outage. I noticedthe lights did not turn off. I pulled the timer out and it was fried.When I shook it, black carbon came out and it rattled. For the record,I don't think we had a surge as no other electronics in the house hadany problems, including two computers. It could be that I just boughta lemon. The other Woods outlet is working fine.
Is the review positive or negative?
