Amazon.com Product Description:
The Intermatic digital table top lamp and appliance timer provides comfort and convenience around the home. It offers two on/off settings, controlling lamps (including fluorescents), TVs, stereos and appliances. This system is easy to use with a large digital readout making the timer easy to read and reach. This lamp and appliance timer also features a five-foot cord, manual override and to-the-minute accuracy. It includes batteries and comes with a 6-year limited warranty.

Rating : - Great timer....very easy to program.
This is perfect for using on your Christmas tree lights (plug is against the wall, but this makes the on/off switch accessible without crawling under tree). I have a couple similar models from this company and they have all worked great with no problems so far. It does take odd batteres (LR44/SR44); they are expensive at the drugstore, but you can easily find them cheap online.

Note: the light/appliance you plug into this thing plugs into the end of the plug, not to the timer body itself.
