VIVOSUN Digital Heat Mat Thermostat Temperature Controller 68-108 ºF for Seedlings, Germination, Rooting, Fermentation and Reptiles

Todo al 100, recomendable y confiable.

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.

This is the first time I have grown vegetables, especially from seed indoors. I have used the mat for about a month and a half now and it's been working great for my jalapeno and tomato seeds. Where I expected germination to occur in 2-3 weeks for my peppers, I saw results in about a week and a half. The controller for the mat is easy to understand and operate once you read the manual. I like that the thermometer probe comes with a suction cup so you can secure it to any humidity dome you are using. The probe seems to be accurate and reacts to changes in temperature quickly. I grow my seedlings in the basement where it's around 18C, but the mat keeps the soil toasty at 24C all day everyday no problem. I would buy the mat again if I needed to grow more seedlings in the future - for 20-25 dollars I think it is a good price.

Perfect addition for my snake’s terrarium, accurately measured temperatures with the probe and shuts off the mat as intended.

Received the Vivosun heat temp controller and it is a great alternative to the reptile temp controllers costing $10 - $15 more. I use it to keep the heat mat for my Leopard Gecko's at a consistant temp, about 90 degrees. It has a great swing value, about teo degrees, so my Leo's stay nice and toasty. There was an issue with the first one I received. There was an LED that did not light, not a huge deal. It didn't effect the performance but was annoying. I contacted the seller via Amazon and they returned with a resolution within about 24 hours. They mailed out a new controller and I received it within a couple of days. The second controller LEDs worked without issue. I appreciate the excellent customer service. Overall, the lroduct, shipping a sercice were excellent. I would definately advise those with lizards, snacks or any animal that requires specific temps to get this controller. Don't waste the extra money on the lizard.specific temp controllers. They are overrated and usually not as accurate or you have a harder time getting a set temp. The Vivosun, while compared with another thermometer set next ro the probe, is almost.dead on with each other. There may be avery negligable .3 or .5 degree difference between the thermometer and temp controller. When surface testing with a laser thermometer the temps are within a degree or less. I am completely pleased with my purchase. It saved me about $15 from the one I was going to purchase.
