The snow falls off everywhere and required a vacuum cleaner to pick up the mess just taking it out of the box! I thought the listing was as a plug in and not a battery.  There is no timer with mine. It came with two randomly attached pine cones. I intend it for use on my covered front porch and will add  my own lights. I really believe this will not last more than this season.  I ordered this awhile ago for use at Christmas so I am stuck with it.  Wayfair has generally given me a better quality product.  This one is junk.
