Countdown Timer
This switch timer features a manual ON/OFF button so that you can control the air circulator as you please. After the fan has been turned ON manually, it will shut OFF after a pre-selected amount of time to conserve energy and ensure that the fan is never left on by mistake.
Hourly Automation
When the manual controls are not being used, the fan timer will turn ON and OFF on its own to cycle out stagnant air. For each hour that the air circulator remains OFF, it will automatically turn ON for a pre-selected amount of time. This setting is adjustable and can be turned OFF.
LED Indicator
A fan-shaped symbol lights up with LED to let you know when the fresh air fan is ON. After any setting changes, the LED indicator will flash to let you know that changes have been applied. Timer settings can be adjusted easily with knobs located under the face cover.
Air Fresh
Ideal for keeping indoor air fresh in both high humidity regions and colder regions where doors and windows may be closed for nearly 24 hours each day.
For Ventilation Fan
Specifically for air circulating fans such as exhaust or ceiling fans with motors rated no higher than 1/4HP

My track record with timers like this has been very poor. Let’s just hope that this one proves it’s durability.

I don't know why the face plate is removeable. There isn't another one in the package. As far as working, it seems to do the job. It is currently cold here and I like a warm bed when I get in. I wired this into an extension cord. I put an electric blanket on my bed and set the timer for it to automatically turn off. I have a nice cozy bed when I get in, and turns off at the preset time.

Easy way to ventilate older homes using existing bathroom fan. I installed this wall switch in our on-suite bathroom fan. It now runs for 10 minutes every hour and draws fresh air from a slightly opened window. Our CO2 level has dropped considerably making sleeping much more comfortable. I would highly recommend this Topgreener Aircirculator switch TDTS5-W-F together with an indoor air quality CO2 monitor. If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring, hire it done. You must have hot neutral and ground in the switch box to facilitate proper installation.

Still working. Doesn't have any sort of nightlight, which is great because we didn't want one. The little blue indicator lights light up only to indicate when fan is on and duration set.

I was using the Leviton model but I had 2 of them that stoped working. Now since I have been using this brand none failed after 3-4 years.

These are my 2nd batch of these timers. First batch almost 2 years old, and still working great.As timers have a much larger “body” than a regular switch, so you have to make sure the electrical back box is large enough to accommodate the new timer…

It has a hour and minute timer. Easy to install. Works great. Just as good as the expensive air circulator controls. I use these often for bath fan installs that meet ashrae specs for state weatherization work.

The package arrived very quickly in small, nicely packed boxes. I'm not an electrician so it took me sometime to figure out my electrical wiring since I had 3 black wires to work with but once I got passed that the installation was a breeze.NOTE: The device is bulky. I got lucky that the box I had installed for the switches was deep enough to fit the unit. I had to bend some of the wires to make it fit so make sure you have the space for the unit.I tested a few buttons and the timing matches the expected results. I like the fact that the unit arrived with 3 different colors to choose from.

Not the first version of this timer to hit the market place, but a very good value nonetheless. This 2-pack is a nice deal. I frequently install these in pairs so I like this deal. A few notes: 1. mine came with additional slide-on face plates: light almond and black (even though not mentioned in the description). 2. The default setting is a single flash for the button selected and then there is no visual indicator after that. If you press and hold the 1 and 5 for 3 seconds, it will keep the selected button lit. My experience with this type of timer is that if the power goes out, it will revert back to the single flash mode. Since most people prefer the constant-lit mode, it seems that should be the default. 3. This timer does seem to operate just fine in parallel with another timer controlling the same fan. Just be sure that your two timers are on the same circuit, so you don’t accidentally send 220v to your fan (done by being on two separate phases from the service panel).

I wanted to reduce the amount of mildew and mold growing in the bathroom so I started looking at ways to ensure the exhaust fan runs long enough to pull all the moisture from the air but not stay on all day.I looked at switches and fans with the humidity sensors but read and heard too many complaints about them not being very reliable. Considering how humidity levels in the house can vary quite a bit based on the time of year, I decided not to go this route.Instead, I decided to try a simple approach - use a timer. I spoke a couple contractors in my family about it and the consensus was running a fan for 30 minutes at the start of a shower is usually about right. This switch includes a 30 minute interval but provides a number of other times to accommodate other uses.The installation was no different than most other switches I've ever installed. You'll need a neutral for this switch to work. That wasn't an issue for me.I installed this in our master bath shower area and I've been thrilled with the results. Now my wife and I hit 30 minutes as we get into the shower and let the timer run through. So far I have no complaints at all. I plan on eventually installing two more of these in our other bathrooms.Update:The first timer is still working great a few years later. I have ordered and installed two additional timers for our other bathrooms. I found a new reason to use a timer for bathroom fans - kids! They often leave the fans on which seems like a big waste in winter and summer. No complaints and recommend.
