Is this normal and safe?.** A: After about 6 months our first of two started tripping the Circuit breaker when it switched on. We changed to the other one for our cheap rate night time dishwashing. So I reckon you should order another then send back the noisy one. You may have to keep doing this! But these are neat and compact. Some of them must last better than six months. **Q: Is this safe to use with my EV car charger?** A: Absolutely not. You should use software in your car or the app that came with your charge point. If you have no charge point, get one. Then get Octopus 5p off peak electricity. If you rely on a granny charger you will eventually go stark raving loony. **Q: Is it ok for timing immersion heaters?** A: I only use it to switch appliances up to 1kW, I use a Lowenenergie rated at 3.8kW 16Amp enclosed timer which is permanently wired in mounted on a flame proof box, no plugs involved. Also a down side to this plug in timer is it's too easy to move the segments while plugging and unplugging therefore making the on/off times unreliable. As always if you're unsure get a qualified electrician in. **Q: Will it turn on automatically the next day after the set time is off??** A: Yes, as long as the unit is permanently plugged into the mains electric and the side switch is set to the clock timer indicator position. Unit will function for the on and off position that has been chosen. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent device *by D***E on 8 December 2025* Excellent service. Works very well. Very easy to set up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good value and simple to use *by P***W on 1 April 2024* press a segment down to make it switch on, pull it up for off. to set the current time twist the whole bezel to put the correct time by a printed arrow. simple. because of it's small size it can only do blocks of 30minutes on or off. the physically larger timers can do 15minute blocks, but i use it for timing the recharging of an electric bicycle battery, 90minutes, so i press down 3 blocks (3 x 30minutes), and can rest easy knowing the mains electricity is shut off after 90 minutes of charging, lowering the risk of the battery catching on fire. a very useful and well priced timer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to use, now in use for its 5th Christmas *by N***S on 14 December 2025* Dependable, mechanical timer switch which we use for our Christmas tree lights each year. Arguably, that means it spends 46 weeks a year in a box, but I this is now its 5th Christmas and it still does the job well! Easy to set up and no complicated multi-day digital menu to work through! It's not silent running (the fifth star would be for that), though the sound isn't intrusive during the day at all, just if there's nothing else going on at all. We don't have it in a bedroom, so not an issue here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Defender Mini 24 Hour Segment Timer Switch - Energy Saver Timer Standard Size - Hour Plug-in Timer Socket Set - 240v 3 Pin Plug with Programmable Time Controller - LOWENERGIE Plug-in Energy Monitor Power Meter Electricity Electric Usage Monitoring Socket UK (1 PACK) - LOWENERGIE Shower Head & LCD Screen Timer with Flow Meter Water Energy Saving Self Powered (Round) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/257404616-mini-24-hour-segment-timer](https://www.desertcart.in/products/257404616-mini-24-hour-segment-timer) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
