1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for- even less with this, June 7, 2010

This review is from: Elite Submersible Preset Heater, 300-Watt (Misc.)

My old heater that came with the tank was looking bad, covered with calcium from our Texas hardwater. I found this heater at a local pet store for about $20. It was one of the least expensive ones I had found. Now I think I know why. I swapped the heaters out and it seemed to be working fine. A couple of days after installing it, it kept the temp where I usually have it, around 80 degrees. Another couple of days pass and I notice the temp had dropped down to about 78. I figured maybe the heater ran a little cooler than what you set it at, so I bumped it up to about 82. The light NEVER went off and the temp NEVER went back up. I cranked it up to 86 and got the same results. This POS heater stopped heating after barely a week!? If the store doesn't take it back, according to the heater packaging I have to pay to ship it to them PLUS pay another $4 on top of that. Suddenly the $20 heater could wind up costing $30. Seems I should have just paid a little more for ANOTHER brand in the first place. Stay away from these CHEAP aquarium heaters.

Nice heater, works fine, looks alright. Suction cups tend to loosen up though. Keep it out of a bubble curtain or it heats up too much. Nice lifetime warranty.

This review is from: Elite Submersible Preset Heater, 100-Watt (Misc.)

I have had this heater (Elite Submersible Preset Heater, 100 Watts) in my aquarium for a few days now. It replaced a 50W immersible heater that sat over the rim of my 20 gallon aquarium. The old heater had to be adjusted in winter, but did not have any markings to identify what the thermostat's temperature was actually set on. My old heater is well over 6 years old and it just had a hard time keeping up (I really needed a bigger heater).

This heater was easy to install. The suction cups do move about easy on the aquarium glass, which makes positioning the heater easy. The heater must be installed below the rim of the tank, so even though it has a min water level, it cannot be set to have the adjustment knob above the water line in a filled to the top aquarium. This is really no big deal as it is fully submersible. The min water level is there for those that keep different aquarium setups in order to keep the heater in the proper water depth.

The knob for adjusting the temperature setting is stiff to turn. This is a big plus as it will keep fish from bumping the knob and causing temperature settings to change.

I have the heater set at 76°F. My thermometer shows a temperature of 75°F. I would say this is a very accurate aquarium heater. The heater does an excellent job of keeping the temperature constant. Room temperatures fluctuate from 65°F to 70°F depending on when we are home or sleeping. My old heater with a room temperature of 65°F could not bring the temperature above 72°F. The Hagen Elite Submersible Preset 100 Watt heater kept my aquarium at the 75°F mark easy when the room temperature was 65°F.

Overall very happy with the heater. Does an excellent job and is within 1° of the actual 76°F setting on the heater (my thermometer could also be off by +/- 1°F).

I would recommend this heater to others and will have no hesitation buying another when needed.

Another big plus is it has a lifetime warranty.

Update: 12-11-2011 Still holding temperature at 75°F.

This heater costs almost $10 more at my local fish supply store.
