 Works like a charm April 26, 2008

I bought this heat mat to get my seeds started inside. Since my apartment is cold and seeds like heat I thought i'd give it a try. Three days after I planted my seeds I had a ton of sprouts. Nearly every seed germinated. If you need some extra warmth to get your seeds going definitly get one of these heat mats.
It didn't get too hot and I was able to keep it right on my countertop. My only problem was I should have had a light to put over my seedlings once they sprouted. It's very easy to use as you just plug it in and put your tray on top. The instructions are even written right on the mat itself.
works well but needs on/off switch April 14, 2008

This works well at keeping the heating mat within a small temperature range. However, it would be much more convenient if it had an on/off switch. Currently, you have to unplug it to turn it off.

Works great, and my seeds germinate in half the time they used to. I would recommend this product.
 Didn't even last one season February 9, 2008

I used this with the the smallest of heat mats of the same brand, and it stopped working within one season. I followed all instructions, and for the high price of this thermostat, I am very disappointed in its performance, or lack thereof. Too bad, because in theory it's a great idea.
Removes the guesswork! March 8, 2007

This thermostat takes all of the guesswork out of achieving optimum growing temperatures for sure. The product works exactly as advertised. The only drawback is that mine came with a temperature probe that was a suction-cup type of device rather than a true probe. I have simply buried the suction cup into a small pot of soil that sits next to my plants (remember to keep the soil moist).
I have had a heat mat for 2 years now and have used it without a thermostat. The major problem with this arrangement is that I needed to put my heat mat on a cycled on/off timer throughout the day/night to sort of generally hit the temprature range I wanted. With the thermostat the heat is exactly the temperature I desire all day long. This has made a tremendous difference in my growing results. So far (this year) I have germinated my sweet bell peppers at 85 degrees F, and have grown the seedlings at 72 degrees F. What a difference! This is my best crop ever!
