Review on Electric Transformer Replacement Compatible Thermostat by Saul Rivera

I loved the price but there are a few things I wouldn't buy again. First a small note: the thermostat wires are guaranteed to be too short for your application and you will need to extend them with wire nuts, crimps, etc. The Aube product has screw terminals that make this step much easier. Second, after taking the unit apart (to see if I could more easily extend the thermostat wires) I saw that several wires were pinched between the two sides of the clamshell. This is a fairly serious problem (crimped wires can damage the conductors, which generates heat and can melt the case or start a fire). This could have been avoided by improving product design and supplier quality control processes. I think this is a classic "you get what you pay for" example.
