Reviews

It was exactly what I was looking for - something to make sure it didn't get too cold in my baby's room at night. I hooked it up to a steam humidifier (could do space heater, too) and it worked surprisingly well. The only other option would have been to keep the whole house at a certain temperature (expensive) or use a timer (a crapshoot). If you keep the temperature probe away from walls and windows (which may stay colder than the room air), it works very well.

This product is really a blessing. I have 2 space heater. Before buying this product I had both heaters on. The problem was that in the middle of night I woke up full of sweet, because there was not a way to stop one of the heaters when the room temprature became hot while I was asleep. After I purchased this product, I set the device to 73 f and connected one of the heaters to it . Now when both heaters are working when the room temprature reaches to 73 degrees F , the device shuts off the heater that is connected to it, and therfore the room temprature does not increase over the set temprature. This device pays for itself , since I do not pay for the electricity and heat that I do not need, and more important it keeps me healty, not waking in the middle of night from too much heat, so I can sleep with peace. I highly recommend this product.

Works like a charm- only works above 45 degrees if that would be a problem

This item works just as I expected. I use it to control a torpedo heater in my garage. I especially like the fact that it also tells you the current room temp.

I bought the programmable Outlet Thermostat at the beginning of winter, to try and regulate the electric heater in my room more accurately and keep it from staying on all night, even if I needed it to kick in if the temperature dropped alot. It's been working quite well and I'm glad that I bought it. I would give it a full five stars, but the one feature that I find lacking is that there is no light, even a quick temporary hold button that one can push to see the information on the readout. I have my thermostat outlet low to the ground, so it's a bit difficult to read unless I'm down there and it the room is lit. Otherwise, I'd purchase this item again.
