I have this heater, and it works well. I have learned my lesson with heaters. You need a controller. I lost many fish because a heater stuck on and cooked my fish. No matter what brand you purchase,get a controller and protect your animals.
I had mode for 4 years I think the older model but looks very similar. Just killed it today because I forgot to unplug it doing a water change. The fail safe has worked for me many times but not this time.
I've had three 800w version of these fail in just over a year (which is a great shame because i liked the heater). I notice they seem to have stopped making these now.
