What a hassel! By dajesso on 4/12/13
dajesso wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I bought this kit. The heater indicator light did come on to indicate heating. JBJ sent me a replacement controller. This one did not work either. They sent me three of these where the heat indicator light did not come on. Finally they sent me one and the power did not even come on. So I sent this one back. They finally sent one that worked in full. The forth or fifth one they sent worked. I lost count. One thing for sure they stand behind the product but how they can send so many that did not work is beyond me.

Terrible product, lasts just past warranty then breaks 3X! By CompletelyHonest on 1/9/13
CompletelyHonest wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I have owned 3 1000 watt titanium JBJ (Just Buy Junk) heaters and all have quit working right at the end of the warranty period. Both times the extreme temperature drop wiped out my 120 gallon SPS tank with some very expensive rare acro colonies. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. The controller seems to last but the heating unit is JBJunk. Overpriced for a pretty package, instead they should have spent the extra money on R&D or better manufacturing.

Must be replaced yearly By Carlo on 11/12/12
Carlo wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
This heater breaks every year either the heating element gives out or the digital display. Company (JBJ) does not stand behind the product once they replace it. I know its tempting to buy but trust me, its unreliable. I baby my equipment too.

Does NOT last By Carlo on 11/9/12
Carlo wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Great product for one year. Breaks once a year. The company will replace it while under warranty without any questions asked but after that replacement they are useless. First time mine broke heating element stopped working, one year later the digital display stopped. Would NOT buy again. Customer service was rude after asking for another replacement or even a discounted price for multiple purchases.

So far so good By Jeremy on 10/24/12

I have the 800w heater on my 225g tank for 8 months and have had no problems so far. Keeps my tank within +-2 degrees. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is for the price.

I love this product By Ehsan on 9/21/12
Ehsan would recommend this product to a friend
i think that to all who did leave a bad feed back that they need to go and do some research because this heater needs to be calibrated and if you don't do that you will not get an correct tempter. this product is one of a kind and i love it

Ive got 4 of these in operation, and three of them have failed in one way or another in the past year. Save your money DO NOT BUY THIS.

Heater is unreliable in the long term. By Tom on 7/18/12
Tom wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
The cost of the unit implies it is of high quality when it is not. After about six months the Indicated temperature diverged from the actual by more than ten degrees and the unit could not be recalibrated. Luckily it was not heating season. The unit should not be trusted on a reef with any significant investment. Save your money and put it towards a controller of better quality.

controller failed 3 times, heater melted down in tank By mudgenfs on 7/8/12
mudgenfs wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Had problems from the start. Got home tonight and smelled electrical burning. Ran downstairs and in my sump the heater was smoking, bubbling the water, and glowing bright red. I could see the heater body distorting. It really scared me but honestly I'm not surprised because the controller it came with has failed 3 times since December
