    Had a 70’s control box this replaced and was a great fit to upgrade the irrigation system. I’d recommend it and love being able to control the system while we are away.

    This is a must for any home. We’ve saved a ton of water and I would be betting that we’ve saved enough money in one year on water that this product has has already paid itself back.

    This is fantastic. The ease of control is incredible. Skips rain days for you, alerts you to watering needs, automatically sets the time even after a power outage. Get rid of the old equipment and upgrade!

    Switched to Rachio from Bhyve and wish I did it sooner. Install was quick, user interface is simple but can go deeper for those that want more fine-tuning. No real complaints.

    Love this WiFi enabled sprinkler system. Not only can it be a "set it and forget it" but it offers smart settings that adjust durations based on weather as well as let you modify everything from your phone.

    I recently bought the Rachio 8-Zone Smart Sprinkler Controller, but unfortunately, I ran into problems right away. It wouldn't connect to my home Wi-Fi, and I couldn't figure out if the issue was with the installation or the product itself. I called Geek Squad for assistance, hoping for a quick solution. However, even the technician struggled to get it working correctly. They tried their best, but it seemed like they weren't fully familiar with this specific device or the issue at hand. I'm left unsure if the problem lies with the Rachio system or the installation process. This experience has been quite disappointing, as I'm still unable to use the smart features of the sprinkler system.

    My water bill has been reduced severely and the rachio practically waters my lawn by itself. The app has pictures for each zone which is amazing because you know where each zone is, no more guessing or writing stuff down on your wall next to the water controller.

    Everything about this is so clever, well built and full of great features. Literally like my fav purchase of the year. The app is very intuitive and makes things so much easier. Even set up with Alexa to water my lawn or drip system via verbal commands. Great product Rachio!

    Very cool system and after some 'fiddling' did a great job all summer. Integrates with their "Thrive" lawn care products, which is pretty neat idea and they did help my lawn survive this year's dry summer with high heat.

    The Rachio coupled with a Flume device helped us get our irrigation under control. The app is easy to use and the Flume helped us spot small leaks in our irrigation system.

    Makes it very easy to set up and run. Plus having access from your phone, tablet, or PC is great. Have it connected to my Davis Instruments weather station, so has the ability to skip a cycle based on hyper local weather conditions, which it has done twice already!

    Was not more complicated than a regular sprinkler controller to install. App was easy to setup. If you install outside, you'll need a cover as these units are not waterproof.

    Love this Controller!! I hooked it up myself (female here age 59) and it only took me 15 minutes. The key is to take a picture of your old box (where the wires are matched) for quick easy reference.

    So far so good. Easy to set up. Like ability to control from smart phone. Hooked up rain sensor but it rained while I was working on irrigation and would not turn. Anxious to see long term affect on lawn and water bill
