Appliance-chipped timers II
They're relatively new, from a mechanical-priced range for direct Chinese digital imports, to domestic and variously rebadged, up to $20-ish on premium digital unit mark-ups, although altogether and widely averaged out, the digital is no less an accessible commodity. Newer digitals, however, are buggy and not built to last from a backing given user stats reporting failure rates. Mechanicals on the other hand, low end pricing units, are plastic gears which wear out to the eventuality of time. Stats yet seem indicate the digital will less likely to last sooner than a plastic gears ground out flat and round. Ratings at 15 amps and 1800 watts are common;- the UL tag less so where UL isn't a Chinese word. Although new is, for sure, nice. But, as for efficiency and application, mechanical models do vary from set 1hr., 30 or 15 minute intervals, with the last at 48 pin-stops. 48 is a lot of stops, no matter the "per minute" digital integral. Of course a minute is remains one minute in higher precision applications, whereas a 15-minute granularity, or longer, over the course of 24 hours to "averaged" applications may slice a few bucks off that digital counterpart if that's the specified case, at least for now, along with indicators a digital may be prone to higher fault failures. Get lucky with the digital, I've seen some reporting 3 years constant use from multiple unit purchases and still going. |
