Perfect
I had the same model for over 15 years and it was finally not working properly. Got the same model as a replacement and it had some minor cosmetic improvements and had much better insturctions. I was able to remove the old one and hook up the new one. Took a photo of the old connections and with the various colors on the cables being the same hooking up the new one was simple. Matching all the old setting was easy. Tested the stations and everything was perfect. ... show more

Easy self install
Had an older Hunter 8 zone controller that had 1 zone quit working. Tested valve- worked fine. Decided time for new controller. Purchased this 1 and installer myself (62 yr old female). Was very easy. I am mechanically inclined so I took the chance. Worked perfectly! I documented existing wiring and worked zone by zone. Very pleased! Sprinkler company quoted $500 for install of this exact model. Thanks but I will save the $400. ... show more

Great replacement for 1997 era Hunter controller.
Simple to install although trying to figure out how to "Manual - All Stations"

Affordable but low tech.
I changed over the same product. Well built. Easy to install. Works like a champ. Does not work with app and I am fine with that.

Very easy to program and use
Great product but as a replacement for my original X-Core - setup and activation was super easy.

Replacement for an Older Model
Since this was a replacement for an almost identical older model, I just labeled all my wires and swapped in the new one - quite easy. So far works as expected.

I was able to install the controller
The seller gave me confidence and provided his E-mail if I had issues.

Great product
My original watering controller broke down and this replaced it perfectly. Word to the wise, take a picture with your phone as to how the color wires connect to the proper screws. Use this as a guide and installation will be a snap!
