After 3 months it started making a horrible sound, like it was about to blow up inside the tank. Of course this happened about 2 weeks after the return "window". I do not recommend getting this heater.

Junk burnt out and stopped working after not even 5 months of use has left my poor turtle cold and me stuck trying to find a replacement now

Works great for my turtles. It is "armored" with plastic protecting the heating element. It took about 5 hours to warm a 40 gallon tank from 49 degrees to 78 degrees.

Works well, and my turtle has a really hard time removing it from glass.

I like that it adjusts temp and stays on bottom easier than oblong heaters. Only had it for a couple of weeks but it doing good so far.

We had our two very large turtles in our pond in our back yard for years, only bringing then inside to winter over. Since we moved we had to keep them in a large tank year round. I have been searching for a good heater for ages. This design permanently set to 78 degrees seemed perfect, and it is. When I put it in the tank to my surprise the temperature was only 68 degrees. It has warmed up the water to a consistent temperature, and they love it. They spend more time in the water and less under the heat lamp.

Bought several of this brand/type of heater for my son's turtle over the last 2 years. All of them have a very short shelf life. This last one only stayed working for just 31 days and died! Just 1 day over the returnable window! Could not get a refund! Not worth it! BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF HEATER!

I only used the heater during winter during for a few days at the time or when I was adding more water to the aquarium. Plugged in yesterday after 2 months and it would keep 'restarting' because the temperature number would keep blinking just like when you plugged it in the first time and then it completely shut and won't turn on anymore. I am really disappointed because It was working great for the few weeks I've used it, but does not worth that much money if they all break like that.

Amazing heater. Works great. Given the design I thought it had a fan to move water - it does not. However will heat water within an hour or two when using fresh water.
