Good Temp Controller
Bought this unit to more precisely control temps in an incubator. it is very good in that it has 0 .1 degree resolution instead of 1 degree resolution. It is a little bit tricky to figure out how the programming works exactly, but once figured out, it's pretty straightforward.
One thing I wish it had, was a PID type function, where over time it can figure out the overshoot and undershoot of the temps. At the price, I would think that it would be impossible to include that, but would be great. I need to hold a pretty constant 99.5 degrees, so I have the low cut in set at 99.1, and the high cut off at 99.3, the temp will range from 99.0 to about 100.1 with this setup which is good for me, I suppose I could set it tighter, but that would wear the relay out pretty fast i'm thinking.Read full review

Great and Simple Controller
This was a great controller for the price and works well. I searched many sites looking for a 110V Temp Controller and they wanted crazy prices. If you are looking for a simple way to make your home or office life better.... this is a great solution. Can be programmed for heating or cooling depending on what your needs are.Read full review

Change a freezer to cooler
So far works great. Took antique upright freezer that has the refrigerated shelves. Plugged into controller to maintain 38 degrees. Its very easy to program. Holds temp perfect. I'm a deer hunter and this works great for ageing the meat without it freezing. very happyRead full review

EXCELLENT TEMP. CONTROLLER
This is a great little temp. controller. I use it for my freezer to control the temp. between 50 and 55 degrees to brew lager beer. It works perfectly and is inexpensive, accurate, and easy to use. Bottom line - I would recommend this item to anyone.Read full review

100% worth the money...
I have been using a few of these for about three years now to monitor temps in a couple of chicken coops here in Florida, and I have not had a single failure of either the controller or the sensors.
That says a LOT about build quality to me because the summer heat, Constant 80% plus humidity, and general environment inside a chicken coop is less than "sterile" so to speak.
When / If I do need to replace any of them I will be looking for the exact same unitsRead full review

Works Great
This controller works great, I use it for controlling electric heaters which always have poor thermostats. I set them on the low watt setting, high temp and let this device keep the room within 5 degrees. Two important notes however, make sure the heater is turned off before plugging into this controller. Also, it is only 10 amps which means that the heater must be on the low setting.Read full review

Handy device
I have now purchased two of these and use them to control the temperature in my two dog houses. They are real easy to use and set up. I used to have one that I had to wire up myself. This one is soooooo much easier!!!Read full review

Great Product
This temperature controller is ideal for my aquariums. It is more accurate than the on/off switch for even expensive aquarium heaters and I can have 2 or more heaters absolutely in sync with each other (using a power strip or adapter). I like the high and low temperature alarms, as well. I highly recommend this device for anyone with large aquariums or sensitive fish they wish to protect.Read full review

Low budget sous vide
I've been using the temperature controller it regulate the temperature of my crock pot to use it as an immersion bath cooker. Fill the crock pot with water, set to 130 American degrees, put a steak in a zip bag with all the air squished out in the water and 3 hours later you have a perfect medium-rare steak that you don't even need teeth to eat. A quick sear with a tablespoon of butter in the ol' iron skillet to give it that pretty crust and you have a 5-star meal. Perfect salmon is much quicker. Sous vide eggs to spread on toast are unbelievable. Best of all, all the science and attempts have been made by folks all over the Internet so results are easily repeatable by even someone like myself.Read full review
