Would RecommendSeems to be working quite well. Was fairly easy to install. Would not recommend pairing with the compatible controller that's offered. Have just connected it to an outdoor smart outlet which will allow us to turn off and on by a phone app.

Roof heat cable
Would RecommendThis product does exactly what it's supposed to do. I had a frozen downspout and this worked its magic in only 36 hours. Terrific!
Great but
Would RecommendThat’s great but the clips are flimsy and I recommend warming it up and straightened out before installing
Easy to install, worked well.
Would RecommendI bought this heat system for my mom’s gutters. Working alone, I was able to install it. The hundred foot Length was sufficient, and the system for hanging the heated insulated cord was not hard to understand. The product is durable and intuitive.
