This is an auto-timer where you can set when an electrical appliance should be switched ON or OFF. It is a very useful item to have at home. You can find these auto-timers almost everywhere; hardware shop, electrical appliances shop, supermarket and etc. There are many models to it. Some even come with a small digital LCD screen. Whatever it is, they all functions the same. The cheapest that I’ve come across are those sold in Ikea itself. It is equally reliable & functional. So don’t waste money on expensive ones.An auto-timer is useful for:
1) Home lightings: To auto ON/OFF lightings at specific time without having the need to do it ourselves everyday. This is especially useful when we are on holiday. We can set the lights in our house to switch on automatically in the evening.
2) Slow-cooker: We may not want to boil our soup for too long. Therefore, we can use the auto-timer on the slow cooker so that it can automatically switch off after 5 hours of boiling and automatically switched on again half an hour before we are home, so that we get to enjoy hot, yummy & nutritious soup after a long day at work.
3) Radio: To auto ON a radio when we were away for holiday to scare off potential intruders. They might think there is someone at home.
4) Pets: To amuse your pets with automatic switched on toys when you are away for holidays. (Just kidding.)
There you have it. Hope this little tips will help you at home. Have a great new week ahead!
