No freezing!
Would RecommendThe battery to our driveway gate stops working when it gets too cold. We put this inside the box and it’s just enough heat to keep the battery working even in the coldest weather we recently had.

A good concept that works
Would RecommendSimple concept and easy to use. Doesn't waste electricity that is not needed for heating. Use it for a heated bird bath and for keeping exposed pipes from freezing.

Excellent Product
Would RecommendI used one for 15 years and just purchased another one. Works great and saves $$$.
Did not work
Would Not RecommendI tried this with two different types of space heaters. It wouldn't work. I forced it to turn on by placing it in a freezer for a few minutes. Then plugging it in a space with temperature in the low 30's. It ran a space heater for less than 5 minutes before turning off without raising the temperature. I tried two of these units thinking that the first one was simply defective. Neither worked.
May Not Function
Would Not RecommendNo Directions; no indication of whether pilot light indicates presence of power, or "on" with low temp, or "off" with higher temp. No indication of temperature at which controller goes "on" or "off".

This is a great option to needing a temperature control to prevent freezing. The one drawback is that it isn’t waterproof nor is there a reasonable way to make it so.
