VIVOSUN Digital Heat Mat Thermostat Controller, 40–108 ºF 1000W for Reptiles, Seedlings, Germination, Incubation and Fermentation

I am very happy with these thermostats. I am using them to control Vivosun heat mats.. The combination works flawlessly. The temperature control is acceptable and with the controller, very adjustable. They do not heat quickly. For me, that is ideal. They do not draw a lot of power while warming, and seem to not take much electricity to maintain the temperature once it reaches the setpoint. That is excellent. I have used Vivosun heat mats and thermostats in the past and expected them to still be high quality. That is exactly what I found. Very easy to use. I have never had any problems with them and they get water all over the mats almost constantly with timed watering. No issues at all. I keep the thermostats elevated out of the water spray, so the critical connections always stay dry. I am a fan of Vivosun products and will purchase them in the future.

works pretty good , although mine all of a sudden stopped putting out Fahrenheit , it only gives me Celsius . so, I have to do conversions to use.

Pretty impressed with the temperature control from this controller. Keeps accurate temperature within 1°F.

I used it to keep my Kombucha at a constant temp. I purchased it November of 2018 and just threw it away this morning. It showed a power fault, I unplugged the heating mat and the fault remained. So now I need another one. Don't know if I will purchase the same thing again. Until it failed it worked beautifully. It held the set temperature to within half a degree, it brought the liquid up to temp within a reasonable time. the only thing I would found problematic was the suction cup holding the temperature probe to the container was easily dislodged. Seven months continuous service for sixteen dollars is not a bad deal, but I'm going to see if there is something out there a bit more durable.

I read some reviews saying the thermostat did not read true. I took a chance and bought one last month for my seedling heat mat then ran a test when I got it. I set it to 80 for my mat with a cup of water on it. Put the thermostat thingy in the water and waited testing every so often. The thermostat read consistently .2 higher than my instant thermometer so good there. It shut off at 80.2 and turned back on at 79.5 - perfect. I was happy so I bought the second one I needed and it tested the same. I am very happy with these

Compact, rugged box with 6 foot long temperature sensor probe wire and heavy duty power cord. Three button controls make for easy setup and adjustment In most applications a power strip or other power splitter will be needed to service an installation, since the box has a single (heavy duty) power outlet socket. Good quality unit.

The instructions for adjusting the settings weren’t very clear, but watching the video helped. With consistent temperature, my seeds sprouted 5–10 days earlier, which means I can start them later next year.

Received mine two days ago and promptly hooked it up only to discover that the LCD readout only functioned partially. As it stands I am unable to see the actual temperature readings or know for sure if I have set the correct temp on the unit as only parts of the number grids will display but not enough to know exactly what number you are setting. Aside from the bad display, the unit seems very basic to operate and the included instructions were sufficient. Like many others, I must have gotten a bad unit. EDIT 01/01/2017 I was contacted by the seller shortly after posting my original review and they offered to replace the defective unit for me. Upon receiving the replacement unit with expedited shipping, I am happy to say that the display is working perfectly and it appears to be maintaining the temperatures much better too. I'm very satisfied with how things were address and resolved.

One outlet needs a splitter Easy operation
