Plug it in. Set the temp. Turn on the electric. Works. Shuts off when past set temp and turns on when under set temp. Not much else you can ask for it to do. Small footprint. Works great on my 30+ year old forced air kerosene heater.

I thought wasn’t working right at first. Just my brain wasn’t working. I have these on the farm for diesel tractors and pickup. If gets too cold in night or day will turn on so start.

Installed easily. Kerosene heater working again.

Worked for 2 minutes and then my torpedo heater motor froze the bushings so the unit is now dead. Waiting on a replacement to get back in business.
Part I didn’t like is that the manufacturer appears to have abandoned making these with the capillary tubes and is using a cheaper bi-metal thermostat. Not as robust as the older units but should work for years.
Update on 26FEB13:
Thermostat didn’t fail, torpedo heater motor failed. Replaced motor on Forced Air Heater and gave this thermostat a whirl again. Very disappointed with the performance of this unit in that there is about 20 degrees between on/off with this thermostatic controller. That said, you bring the environment up to temperature and the heater shuts off correctly but you will be running for your jacket before this unit ever turns back on. Total waste of money and that’s too bad because it’s a good idea.
The built-in thermostats on some forced air heaters are much more precise than these units.
If your heater doesn’t have a built-in thermostat, you will be better served by picking up a cheap thermostat for the house, a double gang box and rolling your own.
Problem for me is that I already threw away the box so I won’t be able to return for a refund.

Not exact temp but close enough to keep my garage warm while I work in the winter. I almost returned this when I first bought it because I thought it wasn’t working. It works, just keep in mind it’s not like your house furnace thermostat. It has a wider temperature range before it kicks on and off. After using it all winter I realized its better this way since it doesn’t kick on and off as often.
This is being used with a 60,0000 BTU Ready Heater. I hung the thermostat on the wall. Seems very well made.
Some advice: Use this product for a month or two before writing a review. 3 months ago I would have rated this a 3, now I realize it is perfect for how I use it.

Unboxed and plugged it in and haven’t had a problem since. Seems to be made very well. The only true down fall is that the temp does match the printed numbers, it seems to be a few degrees off which is fine. I like how it doesn’t just turn on as soon as it drops a degree and then off as soon as it gets to temp. My heater actual does this and was the reason I bought this product.
