Hello again,

I was wondering what the difference is between a Rheostat and a Thermostat? I ask because I have found a few models online, but they range between $16 and $100. I know you get what you pay for.... so, should I opt for a more costly model?



Here's the rheostat I was looking at:

And one of the thermostats:

And, the expensive one:

It will be to control a heating pad.



Many thanks for any advice you can offer.
