Has anyone had any experience with theses thermostats, good or bad? Thanks atrox182

While LLL is an awsome company the Alife thermostat is complete junk. I woudl fork out the extra 50 bucks and get a ranco or johnson contols unit that will not fail on you and will last a long long time.. Chck out this link...

While I have not had the experience of using the ALIFE 1000 thermostat I have many BAH-1000 thermostats which are somewhat similar but have a 110 degree auto safety cutoff built in. There are those companies that will tell you they are unsafe simply because the are lower cost and they want to steer you towards the more expensive units they sell. I have been using BAH 1000 thermostats for many years which are sold at Big Apple Herp (bigappleherp.com) and I have never had a failure on any of my units. I can tell you that if it is within your budget you should get a Herp Power Proportional thermostat or Helix system. Herp Powers are my favorite but both are good proportional thermostats. Its just my opinion but I know what is inside a Ranco and Johnson Control and it is not something that I would personally use. Again, these are my personal opinions and experience.

I have been using the Alife thermostats for over 2 years now on 2 PVC cages with heat tape. (2 separate thermostats) No issues as of yet. I do want to upgrade soon to more robust units, but for the money and my simple set up they are just fine.
