Thoughts on this temp controller?

[nathanvonbeerenstein]

Bought this off ebay on a whim hoping to set up an old fridge as a fermentation chamber, rather than getting an STC-1000 or similar and having to wire it up myself.
What are peoples thoughts? Anyone have any experience or hear of anyone else's?
Cheers,
Nathan

They work fine, continue on. People will tell you to try kill yourself with wiring an STC-1000 but this will last long enough to make that $13.99 worth it.

I understand killing yourself is an over exaggeration, but most of are not sparkies.

You wont kill yourself with that $14 unit. Got a lot of uses that unit

* AHB does not condone killing people with the STC-1000, mind you, some people have almost killed themselves trying to work out the wirring of the STC-1000

Not Nathan, but I have 4 of these, all work fine. 2 are over 2 years old and haven't skipped a beat.

Looks decent and with the benefit of hindsight, I might have got one of those myself. But I didn't and now I'm the proud owner of a boxed STC-1000, a Ryobi cordless drill, a Dremel and a bunch of other tools I didn't have previously :super:
