Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love love love this controller- easy to install- easy to program- app works great. Highly recommend

Works great, plenty of features. Easy to setup and install.

Installed this myself, using provided instructions and a little YouTube. Easy-Peazy! Have had it long enough for it to show me no issues. Install is easy. Just take a picture of the current wire locations and match it to the new controller. Programming for multiple situations is also very easy.

I love this system. Easy to setup and use. App is awesome. Nice addition for sure!

Easy to install, let’s you save lots of money on your water bill.

TV's and mobile phones get all the recognition but this device should top your list if you have a yard to maintain. The system that came with my house was not user friendly and of course outdated. Rachio stepped in and tied it all together nicely with a bow on top. Works flawlessly and a rebate from the local water facility is nice too. A+

I have had this controller installed for 3 weeks now and I am very pleased with how it is operating. It was not difficult to install. Took 30 minutes. The weather monitor feature has been spot on with the rainfall in my area and cancelling or altering watering times as rain has occurred. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a smart system upgrade to your system.

Simple setup. Great features. Controlling from the app instead of a manual controller priceless.

This is easy to install and use, particularly when you're in the yard and the kids want to run through the sprinklers. All you do is pull out your phone, decide which zone you want to run and click the screen. It also syncs with the weather so that it doesn't water when it rains or is forecasted to rain more than an amount you can set. Wish I'd done this sooner!

This is our first sprinkler control system. We had few hiccups with setup. After couple of attempts i could connect it to the wifi system. Wifi app is very convenient to use and control the schedule. I am using this from last 3 weeks and so far it saved 200 gallons of water with it’s intelligence. It also adjusts schedule time based on season changes.

Set this up in about 1/2 hour. The app is easy to use and walks you through the setup process for each zone. I really like the wifi option and the ability to enable automatic “rain skip” when it has or is expected to rain (you can set the threshold amount) or “wind skip” when it is windy. This is going to pay for itself in no time. So far I really like it!

I decided that the orbit system I had wasn't worthy of my time. After doing some research looking for a Homekit compatible unit I found this. Took me 5 minutes to install this unit and 5 minutes setting up the app. My pain went away. I love this. No longer I'm concerned if my irrigation ran or if I need to do a manual trigger. The system keeps track of local weather and over rides when necessary.

Very easy to use and easy install. I would recommend to purchase

This sprinkler controller couldn’t be better. This one is for my parent’s house, but I purchased one last year for my house too. It works great and only waters the grass when necessary. It has great features that I haven’t seen in any other controller that I’ve had and it does a great job of monitoring the weather.

Love this controller. I had a 15 year old manual controller. I found myself having to turn on the zone, run to check the zone, then run back to turn it off. Not anymore! I can turn on each zone from my phone. It was also very easy to install.

Great sprinkler timer. Love being able to use the app to program and the smart weather really helps with water saving. Schedules can be as simple or advanced as you want. Will water on simple day/time schedules or on advanced schedules that take into account root depth, soil water retention and evaporation rates.

I bought this for easier control over my sprinklers without getting wet. It was relatively easy to setup and works well. It would be helpful if Best Buy sold the water proof box as well. That is available on the Rachio site and is not cheap but worth the money, as it makes it even easier to wire to an existing control box.

I’m tech savvy, I own a lot of smart items and am always impressed but how easy they are to setup. This was glitchy, many attempts failed, message says try web setup rather than iPhone. Finally got it to link up and it’s been ok since. I love how accurate it is. They are set to run before sunrise, if it’s supposed to rain that day it will skip. That’s something my old system with a rain sensor couldn’t do. Not sure why price is almost double than competitor though.

Worth buying saves time and water would recommend it to anyone

The Rachio controller and app are truly my favorite. Full control of the sprinklers and a smart app to help you make adjustments based on the season. Installed pretty quickly and reasonably easily. The controller did take a few times to connect to the wifi to set up the first time.
