We purchased six of these garland sets. We bought them last year after the garland had finally needed to be replaced. We were excited about the fact that they were battery operated and didn't need to be plugged in. Well what a disappointment! I wish we had taken them fully out when we bought them instead of testing them in their packages. The lights that are on them are extremely hard to see and not enough lights. We found that two of them went out completely and we had to change the batteries on them. We are now left with garland that we will need to get lights for next Christmas. I do not recommend this item.

One string won’t stay on & I replaced the batteries which as soon as they come on they go off other two strands no problems still have same battles as when I hung them on stair banister work good very disappointing that one strand won’t work after putting them on stair banister in house would not recommend

Two of the automatic timers out of the seven garlands I ordered do not work. I likely won’t return them since I already decorated and don’t need the aggravation. I’m disappointed since the timer was the best feature for this product.
