Has anyone used an Inkbird thermostat?

"Inkbird Pre-wired Digital Heating Thermostat Temperature Controller with Day Night Thermostats"

^ Any experience with this company/product? I'm not finding reviews (but I'm oddly terrible at searching electronic stuff, it's a special area of incompetency for me).

I like that it allows for two plugs & has separate night/day temperature options. The price is reasonable & I can get free shipping. But if it's unreliable, I'd rather avoid it. :?

I see it has been a couple weeks, but for what it's worth, I am currently using two of the same Inkbird thermostats in my new tank. One malfunctioned an hour after setup (the keypad stopped functioning), but the replacement works correctly.

I have used several Inkbird PID thermostats in my old tank. They have all seemed to hold calibration pretty well without drifting. Overall I'd say they've been reliable.

Thanks very!

I did end up getting one, but like your one the keypad/display is acting off. I'll be getting a replacement. I'll update about how that goes.

I was thinking of getting one myself. Amazon has decent reviews overall for it.
