There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Aside from the bad display, the unit seems very basic to operate and the included instructions were sufficient. Like many others, I must have gotten a bad unit.
EDIT 01/01/2017
I was contacted by the seller shortly after posting my original review and they offered to replace the defective unit for me. Upon receiving the replacement unit with expedited shipping, I am happy to say that the display is working perfectly and it appears to be maintaining the temperatures much better too. I'm very satisfied with how things were address and resolved.
The unit has as external thermometer attached to the end of one of the cables coming out of the unit. This thermometer must be submerged in whatever substrate your measuring temperature in. When the target temperature is reached, the unit turns off temporarily. To have that on/off feature work with Kombucha, you’d have to submerge it in the liquid. The instructions tell you to absolutely NOT submerge the thermometer in liquid. This makes this unit unsuitable for brewing or any use involving temperature control of a liquid.
I plan to try putting the thermometer between the outside of the jar and underneath the heating pad to see if this gives me reasonable results. Summarizing, if you need to control of a ferment, Kombucha or otherwise, you should explore another option.
If you’re going to use this for seed germination, I think you’ll be fine. It’s well-built, doesn’t feel or look cheap. And Vivosun products have been my top purchase for hydroponics.
Top reviews from other countries
...I was right.
I notched a little hole for the cable out of the plastic dome and fed the probe through, positioning it into the center of the tray and set it to 75 degrees. Setting it was really simple, so I'm not sure what the other reviews talking about it being impossible to figure out were doing... Press and hold the top button for a few seconds then press up or down to set the preferred temperature; east peasy.
My basil, cherry tomato and pepperoncini seeds have been warming with the help of this mat and they're definitely sprouting quicker than before. I'll have to take a look and see if Vivosun makes a multi-outlet, multi-temp model because not every plant's seeds have the same optimum temperature for germination.
In short? 5 stars from me. It works exactly as expected.
