Easy product to figure out how to make it work and very effective,

I use this to keep my portable back up generator's oil and block warm in the winter. I plugged in a cheap diesel block heater pad high-temp RTV'd to the oil pan, and the sensor RTV'd on the edge above the fill. I keep mine at 16C~50F so it is easier to start! Last season I had it on a timer, this is better!

I have a 2000 square foot shop with 14 foot ceilings. It's difficult to heat. For years I've used a 110K BTU kerosene blaster to knock the chill off but not as my primary source of heat. It's very loud but also very effective. I've always had to just plug and unplug it when I wanted to use it. This thermostat switch solves all that! It's very easy to set to the temperature parameters you need and it does the rest. For my painting projects I can paint something and then leave the heater plugged in and set to 66 to 72 degrees and let it maintain a decent curing temperature in my absence. I love it. I should have bought this YEARS ago!

We used this with our slow cooker to hold the water temperature at a steady 105F to make yogurt. The thermocouple is waterproof and is holding up being submerged for three batches at about 10 hours each. The 0.1C accuracy allows you to make a small enough window to hold the temperature within a couple of degrees F. Simple to use and works great for our application.

Super simple to use. Has a timer function but never used that feature. I used it to control space heaters and it turns on at the 66°f I set it at and shuts off at 69°f. If you flip the #s it goes into "cool/ac" mode. Definitely put it in a well lit area or have a flashlight handy as their is no backlight. Other than that, works great for the price!! Have 2!

The instructions for this product are useless, but it's fairly easy to setup.. However, after setting up, the product doesn't work as intended. While using in temp mode, it will initially turn on when the measured temp is between the programmed start/stop temps, but after temp rises about stop temp, then cools back down, it no longer turns on when in the start/stop range.I tried emailing customer service (no phone, no reply) and asking a question here (response was customer support). I tried purchasing a 2nd unit but it behaved the same way. Could I be setting something wrong? possibly, but have set up many of these devices and without customer support I'm done - have spend waaaay too much time trying to get these 'straight-forward' devices to work as advertised.Killed most of my greenhouse plants when it didn't turn my heater on during a freeze.

This plug works very well. Its very easy to program. Moreover, it seem to work flawlessly. I have it set to turn on at 38 degrees, and turn off at 45 degrees. So far it's worked everytime the temperatureh as dropped that low. I really like having it because if I plugged my heated garden hoses in directly, they'd use 150-300w constantly. This allows me to save a lot of energy by not leaving the hose on when its not frozen outdoors. It's also clear when its on due to the blue light on the front. I have 2 25' heated hoses plugged into this.

This works, but the display is no where near as bright as displayed in the product pictures on Amazon. The display is so dim when looking at it straight on, that it needs an external light source to light it up enough to read the display. Interestingly, the display is able to be read more clearly, at least the large temperature readings, when viewed at an offset angle.I found that the temperature sensor was quite accurate and with the available cabling, should be good for any application and placement as long as the wattage is taken into consideration.The user manual is almost nonsensical. After the first intro paragraph under the Function heading, is fairly well written and easy to understand. However, once you try to determine how to set the different functions, it actually makes little sense as it is translated into English. For anyone interesting in this product, the instruction manuals are attached with this review so each potential purchaser can determine on their own if this product meets their needs and they can figure out the various modes.I spend quite a bit of time trying to determine how the set the mode from Air condition to Heat, and was never able to find it as was implied by the manual. Finally determined that the AC/Heat mode is automatically determined based on the turn on temperature and the turn off temperature. I needed heat mode only, so setting the turn on temperature to 68 degrees F and the turn off temperature to 72 degrees F, automatically sets it to heat mode. At least it appears that way, although this is not explicitly written as such in the instructions.This temperature controller has two major modes. The first mode is temperature control mode where the socket power is active when the exterior temperature is within the range set. The second mode is a timer based control that has four subfunctions. F01 function is a cycle timer where the relative time on and time off are set and is not related to clock time as this temperature switch does not have a mechanism for setting nor determining the actual clock time. F02 is count down time, when set, operates for amount of elapsed time that is set. F03 is delayed stop time that runs until the amount of elapsed time has expired. F04 is a delayed start and run time all based on relative time when set. None of the F modes were attempted or used, so these summaries are based on what it appears the manual says. It is my best guess on how these modes work, which is an indicator on how poorly the two page manual is written.
