Review on Wireless Plug-In Thermostat With Dual Receivers For Tempered Control, Ideal For Reptiles, Greenhouses, And Space Heaters - Temperature Controller With Built-In Sensor And Remote Outlet by Michael Cox

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Dangerous quality control

I bought these to run two 1500w standard electric radiators for my garage during the winter. The remote system worked great for the first week. On the second week, I noticed that the garage was a little cooler and found that one of the wall plugs had stopped working. The indicator light would turn on but the plug wouldn't allow the heater to access electricity. I contacted the company and they sent me a new one. Now after a few days of working, I went to relocate the new wall plug and found it had melted against the outlet (see pictures). This is dangerous and I'm lucky I caught this in time. I'll have to replace the wall outlet because that is melted as well. While this system seems to work great in theory, I wouldn't use these plugs for anything that requires a substantial electric draw

Pros
  • High Accuracy And Safe
Cons
  • May be difficult to program and use for some
