wish I'd read the reviews
wish I had read the reviews.
I say the same as others - after using about 8 times it filled with water, froze that night coincidentally so now the water expanded and it's cracked.
one reviewer said an internal diaphram or seal failed - that must have happened to mine because of past exprience with water coming in, I sealed the battery compartment cover with good tape even though it had a good tight rubber gasket.
i'm not sure I have the receipt I"ve bought so many timers (half have failed - fill with water) but am taking some of these reviews. thanks for taking the time to write. mine also filled with water.
I got it at home depot as all others did, but mine has brand name Vigoro on it. from what i can tell by my research, the Vigoro site doesn't have any timers - and mine looks exactly like the melnor, and amazon.com calls it calls it Melnor or Vigoro Aqua Timer. Melnor probably sold a batch to Vigoro if this is confusing anyone else. not sure if i could go directly to melnor - haven't tried though.
I too as other reviewers liked he round melnor model that I bought last year and they work fine. From what other reviewers are saying, this is that replacement with the same model number 3015 - if so, I agree, that's not right. wish me luck in getting my money back.

Waste of money and time
This product "upgrade" replaces the round model. The previous model at least worked for a year. This model releases water into the inside which of course destroys it. I tried 4 times. There is obviously a need for such a product, but this is not one to purchase. It is easy to program, but what is the use when it breaks so quickly. This product should not be sold!

Non-starter
Tried two of these and neither one would connect without leaking. The second one flooded inside as well. Don't bother.
