"Best value."

The bonus digital thermometer it came with has been super helpful, and is accurate. Ick for instance detaches from fish at 86 degrees and dies at 89. Well worth the money the first one I bought still works great. This has been in my fish tank for a few months now and it's been absolutely perfect! This heater works, but the dial it isn't very accurate. I like the fact that it comes with a digital thermometer. The temperatures are pretty accurate.

"Temperature!"

Personally for me the housing doesn't bother me. It took me only two tries to get it to the correct temperature. Easy enough to let it run all the time.
