Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Actually, I'd give this 4.5 stars.
Keeps my 10 gallon tank within 1-2 degrees as advertised and seems sturdy enough to last a long time.
What I did not know from the product description and pictures on Amazon is that this unit also has a separate wired temperature sensor which also needs to be placed into the tank along with the heating element (but located far enough away from it so as not to be reading too high). So you actually have 3 pieces of equipment all connected together.
Also, the two suction cups on the heating element, while clinging to the glass with ease, tend to slide around with the gentlest of pressure. If you want to place your heating element just right you will have to be very careful not to move the cords or disturb anything that touches it.
Pros:
Solidly built
Keeps temp to within 2 degrees
No glass parts to crack
Separate sensor placed away from heater gives a more accurate reading
Digital readout of current temperature
High temperature safety shut-off feature
Cons:
Separate sensor is just another thing that will take up space in a small tank (albiet it is small itself)
Suction cups on heater slide on glass easily if disturbed
Main cord to heating element could be a bit longer
