-I'm using this thing in my shop with a duct system attached to the torpedo and the comfort range I set on this gizmo ain't right on the nut but close. By the time my shop starts to cool down, and it's insulated, just to the point where you cann't work in shirt sleeves, it kicks on. The temp settings vary and the comfort zone is something you'll have to find out for yourself. A little overpriced but ? It Works !!!!!!!

Not exact temp but close enough to keep my garage warm while I work in the winter. I almost returned this when I first bought it because I thought it wasn't working. It works, just keep in mind it's not like your house furnace thermostat. It has a wider temperature range before it kicks on and off. After using it all winter I realized its better this way since it doesn't kick on and off as often.This is being used with a 60,0000 BTU Ready Heater. I hung the thermostat on the wall. Seems very well made.
Some advice: Use this product for a month or two before writing a review. 3 months ago I would have rated this a 3, now I realize it is perfect for how I use it.

Worked for 2 minutes and then my torpedo heater motor froze the bushings so the unit is now dead. Waiting on a replacement to get back in business.Part I didn't like is that the manufacturer appears to have abandoned making these with the capillary tubes and is using a cheaper bi-metal thermostat. Not as robust as the older units but should work for years.
Update on 26FEB13:
Thermostat didn't fail, torpedo heater motor failed. Replaced motor on Forced Air Heater and gave this thermostat a whirl again. Very disappointed with the performance of this unit in that there is about 20 degrees between on/off with this thermostatic controller. That said, you bring the environment up to temperature and the heater shuts off correctly but you will be running for your jacket before this unit ever turns back on. Total waste of money and that's too bad because it's a good idea.
The built-in thermostats on some forced air heaters are much more precise than these units.
If your heater doesn't have a built-in thermostat, you will be better served by picking up a cheap thermostat for the house, a double gang box and rolling your own.
Problem for me is that I already threw away the box so I won't be able to return for a refund.
