These heaters have worked well for us and we now have 6 of them. We had an issue with the thermostat on one and the seller was awesome at replacing it and were very prompt.

Has been up and running for a few weeks now. Easyt to set up and operate, though one of the heaters (smaller one) does NOT heat accuaretly. Need to run it 4-6 degrees hotter to get the temp I want. for example. I like my water set at 70F, but need to set the controller to 76, to maintain the 70 I want, as confirmed by zn independant thermometer.

Considering this purchase was for my turtles in their 300 gallon habitat, I did not want to skimp on their heating requirements.

After a rigorous online search, I concluded I'd try this heater out and I'm glad I did! Fully submersible and very easy to operate. It has an analog dial to help you adjust the temperature with two LED's. One LED indicates that it's powered on. The other LED is to let you know when the heater element is doing it's job; when the desired temp has been reached the heater element will shut off. It has three cords coming out of the analog control dial. One cord is the submersible heating unit itself, which you simply place (laying down) in your tank. Another cord is to plug into the wall. The third cord is an external thermometer (no digital or analog reading on it though) to gauge the temperature of the water. Using very cold tap water from the garden hose outside, I filled up my turtles habitat. It took approximately 20 hours to heat up 300 gallons.

It has kept their habit warm since. In fact I've had to turn it down a few notches. Of course there are a few factors/variables that will alter how effectively the heater works (the amount of water you're trying to heat, the outside temperature of your aquarium, etc.)

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. In fact I just placed an order online for a second unit. That's one thing I'm not too happy about though (but didn't count it against the product rating); was the fact that I can't find this product in Canada. I always have to search for it online. I was using a cheaper aquarium heater to heat up my turtles feeding tank (which is another tank altogether), whose brand name I will not repeat but if you send me a private message and want to know (so you don't make the mistake of buying that cheaper one), I'd be more than happy to share that information with you. But after two days I took it back to the store where I bought it from.

Funny but the more expensive aquarium heater which I purchased online and had more to lose (in return shipping charges) if it was defective or not working the way I wanted it to, worked perfectly whereas the safer bet (the local store bought one) ended up costing me more gas in having to return it. Oh well, just goes to show : there are no safe bets.
