Customer Reviews

Hydrofarm MTPRTC Electronic Temperature Controller for Heat Mats
I am using this mat to keep a constant temperature on my Kombucha brew. Using a standard heating pad, this theromstat does the job. I'm very pleased with it. I can keep the temperature at 79 degrees and not have to have a heating pad constantly on. Keep the suction cup clean so it doesn't pop off the glass and a thermometer handy to monitor the temperature.

A handy little thermostat
This was just what I needed to keep my seed soil at a proper warmth to promote growth. When used in conhuction of a seedling heating pad, it makes growing from seeds a snap. It was easily set-up and easy to adjust as I added different types of seeds. It kept the seeding tray at a constant 81-86 degrees until my peppers had sprouted. Later it kept it at around 75 degrees. The click it makes when coming on and turning off is quiet and no disturbing to the conversation.

Didn't work
Thermostat didn't work. Propagation mat worked fine, but when plugged into the thermostat the thermostat took the correct temperature readings, but despite having the power light on, and the light stating that it was heating, I watched the temperature drop within a matter of 30 minutes after having the mat heated up before plugging it into the thermostat. Almost makes me think I'd be better off spending $10 on a outlet timer from the hardware store and just having turn on periodically to keep the seedlings warm. The other 1 star review was spot on too.
