DENVER — For the ninth consecutive year, The New York Times Wirecutter has named the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller its Best Smart Sprinkler Timer, calling it “the most full-featured sprinkler controller,” and “smart enough for a pro but great for beginners.”
Wirecutter praised Rachio’s signature controller as combining “all of the most appealing connected-irrigation features into one easy-to-recommend device,” with an app that’s “by far the best-designed and easiest-to-use” in the category.
Rachio’s Smart Hose Timer was also named Best Hose Timer for the second year in a row, with Wirecutter highlighting its “minimalistic, modern design,” easy scheduling, and weather intelligence that skips waterings based on the weather in your area.
“Recognition like this reinforces our commitment to designing smart yard products that are both easy to use and genuinely helpful,” said Rob Denton, Rachio’s Director of Marketing.
Rachio products are also top-rated by other trusted reviewers, including USA Today’s Reviewed, where the Rachio 3 continues to earn top marks.
