I bought this unit to water two zones of crops. I had not seen any other timers that had dual outputs, and would much prefer the integration of having to only program one unit. This unit did the trick.
I was pleased at the quality construction of the unit. The hose thread went on easily to my spigot with no leaks. I have very strong water pressure of 120psi and this unit is rated to 150psi so no problem there. There are quick releases for the lower portion, which again, is wonderful since you don't have to contort you hand to get on the hoses.
The unit is heavy, so you want to ensure your spigot portion is well supported. failure to support your unit could cause issues down the road. In my case, I had the orbit 4-port manifold attached, and this has a metal frame bracket exactly to do this purpose.
The timer itself has 6 settings, however only 3 can be used for each line. So if you have more than 3x/day water for your zone, this is not the unit for you! Fortunately I only needed 2x a day for each zone. It was a little complex at first to figure out how to program but didn't take long to master. Note the LCD does NOT detach from the housing, at least not easily.
Unit is powered by a 9V battery which supposedly will last a year. I tested by removing the 9V and replacing quickly -- the settings WERE retained, which is a blessing so you don't have to worry about reprogramming each time you put new batteries in.
The unit has a rain-gauge port and I did purchase the rain gauge unit as well. It hasn't rained so I cannot attest to the effectiveness but it was easy to install.
You might also want to know that the valves are smooth turning rather than abrupt -- this means the water cuts off slowly rather than slams the valve shut immediately. Extremely important factor for old homes with piping that hammers when the water valve suddenly closes. Very nice!
Overall, I'm pleased with the unit. It would've been nice if the LCD detached, but other than that I'm happy with it.

Bought this aquadue duplo for my Florida house, because I have nice plants outside and am not there regularly to water them. Everyday, the aquadue duplo waters my plants whether I am there or not. Fabulous tool, that can be programmed in advance. Worth it.

I recently had my lawn seeded and needed to run a sprinkler several times a day to keep it from drying out. I really didn't want to spend my day turning the hose on and off and moving the sprinkler all around. I found this timer to be just the ticket. I was able to program it to run at three separate times of the day for whatever length of time on any day I chose. I also had a large area and needed two sprinklers for adequate coverage. I found the timers easy to program for both the sprinklers and can tell they will not be hard to modify when I need to water less later. I have literally programmed it and left it without any problems. Where they attach to the tap does not leak and the quick couplers provided for the hose-ends are good quality with no leaking as well. Admittedly, I do not know how easy it would be to switch over to manual watering because I have not tried it. I have another hose I use for this and really didn't want to be bothered with having to fiddle with the timer. So, I never even read how to do it. Enough said, just to clarify... I would buy another if ever I had the need.

This timer has saved my lawn. It is a marvelous product. I no longer have to get up at 4AM to insure that my lawn is being waterd. We are under water restrictions that allow watering between 4AM and 7AM one day a week; Saturday of course. What a relief!
