The product was very easy to install. It's fairly large, so it fit a little snugly into the electrical box. It looks really neat once installed. The LED's are not intuitive though. They blink even when the fan or lights are off. To stop this, switch the fan off with the large button. The LED's will continue to blink, but then press and hold the large button for 3-5 seconds until the fan comes on, then turn off with the large button again. The LED's won't flash until the next time one of the smaller, timer buttons are used. The instructions are not very helpful with describing this override. In a dark room the LED flashing is annoying. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the LED issue.

I installed this to control a whole house fan that we have. If you already have a switch in the wall, this easily replaces it. Very easy install and very easy to use and looks nicer than the knob style timer switches

This is one of the few timers that has a range from 5 minutes to 4 hours. That's perfect for a bathroom timer whether for an embarrassing whiff, or you want it to completely dry out after a long shower. It's convenient to be able to start the time of your choice with a simple press of a button.

Installation was a breeze. I saw a comment about how deeply inset this product was. It fit snugly, but there was no problem or need to buy any additional hardware to accomodate it. I saw some comments about the blue LED light being bothersome. I don't mind it at all. Mine is being used in a bathroom, and not next to my face in a bedroom. Note also that this timer is not a precision clock. "Four hours" turned out to be more like four hours and twenty minutes. Again, that's just fine for my goals.

Now that I've tried it out, I'm ordering a second one.

Honest reviews on GE 15318 Push Button In-Wall Digital Countdown Timer

I was having a tough time finding a timer, that didn't need a neutral in the switchbox, for my new bathroom fan that takes very little power. This one even works if you have LED lighting or new low power fans. It works perfectly.

It takes about a minute to charge after you turn the power back on after installing, then it's easy to operate. Press the button for the time period you want and the fan starts. A blue LED blinks every few seconds to indicate which time has been selected. If the fan is running press the big unmarked button to stop. If the fan has already stopped press the large button to recall the last countdown period and start the fan. Pretty simple, yet very functional.

I cut one star for being so ugly!

Installed this in our bathrooms and our laundry room. The timer looks great with our existing switches, and the times that are available give a wide range of options. The only complaint I have is that the indicator light only flashes briefly every twenty seconds, and even then it only indicate the button that was selected, so there's no real way of knowing how long is left on the cycle.
