## Description

Product Description Convenient Timer: The Variable Rundown Timer Plug is perfect for ensuring appliances are automatically switched off after preset periods of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or 8 hours. Say goodbye to worries about leaving appliances like hair straighteners or irons on when you leave the house Box Contains 1 x A Varible run down timer

Review: Easy to use and reliable - definitely recommend - I bought this for a heated airer. It is soooo easy to use. Just gently touch the top and a green light comes on. There's a slider on the side to choose how long it's on for - I mainly have 8 hours or 5 hours. At first I thought it wasn't working because the green light flashed and the heater didn't heat up - bu then I realised I'd got it on a timer to delay it coming on. Once I flipped the switch it was fine. I would recommend this - works really well. I like the peace of mind that the airer won't be left on for days accidentally.
Review: Not clear how to use it. - Great item but to be honest I have no idea how to use it. All I know it that when I tap the top the up lighter stays on for 8 hours and switches off itself. It doesn't come back on until I tap it again. I wanted something that would come on 8 hours, go off for 16 hours then come back on again for 8. This was to avoid reaching down the back of the sofa to the switch. It doesn't seem to do that but it is helpful for using elsewhere like the hall lamp in the evening etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal for reducing energy wastage...
*by C***I on 14 March 2015*

This Energenie Variable Run Down Timer is great! I attached a strip which has a number of mobile phone/camera battery chargers on it and set it on one of the 4 options of run times (1/2 hr, 1, 3 or 4 hours) . It has a count up time or a count down. The count up time apparently turns on at a pre-selected time. I can't think of anything I've got which would utilise that at the moment. However, the Countdown option is probably what everyone will most likely use. The device will shut down after whatever time you have selected in the option of run times. I've chosen 3 hours as I don't think anything will need more than 2-3 hrs charge time these days. Of course it depends on how old or how big your device is that needs charging. For example if you know your device will need 3-4 hrs of charging, then use the 4 hours option or if it's fully charged after 1/2 hr, use the 1/2 hr option. On the top of the device is a display light which is green when there is power going through it (on left side.) On the right side is a switch to turn it on or off (- when you plug it in the wall, you will see the light when you turn it on.) I like that you can gently touch it to turn on or off - I believe it is a sensor switch of some sort as there is no need for gorilla force type pressure to turn it on or off but just light finger tip pressure. There should be a sound of switch going on and a green light should be seen. I feel confident that all unnecessary chargers are off the mains and only run when needed. Especially helpful when teenagers use it as they always have lots of devices and lots of chargers. Ideal for the home trying to watch energy use and wastage. A friend told me it was on an internet eco store but I shopped here as prices were comparable.
