Is This a Good Thermostat

Well, I finally found a place that had a thermostat but I didn't know if it was a good brand. I got there labout 7 minutes before closing, so iread the back and went ahead and got it. It claims to do what I need but I got the reciept just in case. The package says: ESU Reptile, 3-outlet, one thousand watt capacity, Electronic Temperature Controller.

Is it good or should I take it back and get something better? Thing is I can't get the temp. to go below 111F with the rheostat I have now. :eek1: :eek1: :eek1:
 
That's a fine thermostat, it’s along the lines of a Zoo-Med or Big Apple Herp. I used the Big Apple Herp with good success. Just make sure you run a digital thermometer probe along side the thermostat probe to verify the temperatures over your UTH.

As an FYI...that's an analog thermostat so you will probably be +/- 2 to 3 degrees from your target temperature at times so don’t expect it to hold your temperature at the exact setting you call for.

Regards,
Steve
